The epitomy of playing through the pain.

When you are a mom there are no time outs or breaks. There is no one to turn the reigns over to and take a break. I mean yea, Chris, is there and if I really couldn't do something I was supposed to do he would cover for me. The thing of it is, is that when I told Maddie I would take her to the park, she takes it literally. At that point, there is no going back. No Substitutions, No Excuses. So what do I do when I feel like my head is going to pound off my shoulders? I take her to the park. Half and hour later, my head feels better and I just had a great time with my daughter. It's days like today that make your  realize how precious this time is with our babies, that they won't always be small, and won't always want us around. No matter how much I complain about wanting Chris to do more or needing time to myself. I wouldn't want to give up any of the time I have with Maddie because those are the times I am making memories.  I would choose laughing and playing with her at the park any day over taking a nap or doing laundry. Sometimes we just need perspective.
