Priorities vs. Schedule

As I sit here on a Monday morning looking at the things I didn't get done on my usual Sunday Prep Day I feel strangely relaxed. Why? Well this last week was packed full of emotionally draining tasks for our family but this weekend was all about our family coming together as one and so instead of stressing that food prep and kid prep tasks aren't done I am calm and happy. Happy that our family came first. Visits to the Pumpkin Patch with cousins and supporting our oldest daughter in her college activities are what are more important. Everyone may be slow to get up and we were 5 mins late to school but that's ok. We have important memories from this weekend. Daddy hugging his oldest daughter and telling her how much his loves her and is so proud of her brings me to tears just glancing back at that memory. Cousins holding hands running through the corn maze laughing brings a smile to my face. So I sit here thanking God for the wonderful weekend and memories he has given me and decide that cooking and cleaning can be done a different day!
