It has been a reeeeally long day. I was supposed to do very official sounding business things. Things that require me to act like I know what I am doing.

I was unable to get anything done. Emails are unanswered, deadlines are missed. My house is trashed.
I found myself doing these things:
- Saying, “Honey, did you throw a sock in the potty and throw it on the counter?” *ahem*
- Deciding to hide from them for a few minutes and hope they will play nicely.
- Finding them in living room lightsabering, throwing popcorn, jumping on couch; yelling at them and then wanting to cry.
- Giving up trying to get everything in order, going to the playground and simply enjoy being in the moment with them.

You know what? It was awesome.
**I have a cool new toy here on the new site. See the little green (or red) tab on the left of screen? If you click it, you will see my tweets, and then all the replies in a threaded conversation.
Here is the cool part. You can log in, and reply to me, and it will show up on twitter as a reply and link back here magically.
Yes, the word “magically” is my extent of Internet technology.
Anyhoo, it’s pretty cool. Check it out!

Looks like a trip to the playground was just what you needed. Happy you had such a good time.

I have the bestest bloggy friends ever!
I love that idea. I love playing instead of working. I did the same thing. Except we played with bubbles.
And how did you know about the sock in the toilet incident? Ehem.

Bubbles! I’ll bring them next time!
Sometimes, that’s the best way to mack as a Mogul Mama- on the swings, kicking up your feet. Cause sometimes, you need the internet chip removed from behind the ear. (What? You don’t have one yet? Oh, Alli, my dear, they are the new black.:)
Good for you for taking a step back- that’s the stuff your babies remember. That, and the time you pretended to eat a worm-
Rock and Roll Mama´s last blog ..Great, just what I needed. One more reason to go to Starbucks.

Life is too short. You have to just put all the mundane aside & spend time with the kids. I did the same thing Tuesday.
