permission

This Tuesday morning I am giving myself permission to let the mess sit.
To give up my two littles to a good friend so I can get my hair trimmed.
I am letting the dishes from breakfast litter the counter.
I am allowing the suitcase, that is flung open with clothes hanging out, to block our front door - I am banking on no visitors for the morning.

I am demanding that this week goes slow and smooth.
I am relishing in the memories of a wonderful family holiday weekend. (thanks mom and dad)
I am savoring the moment Sydney went right to sleep and only woke up once because she was back in her own crib. (She slept horribly this weekend).

I am taking this day at my pace.
Because. I can.
How is your week before Christmas going?  Are you taking care of you?  What are you giving yourself permission to do or let go of?

I'm definitely enjoying the week, but just today found myself a little sad that Christmas is finally upon us and will be over in a blink of an eye. Just a reminder to myself to enjoy every moment.
