The day of our Ladies’ Night Out my daughter heard I was going to Harts’ Cafe with the ladies. She asked if she could come along. I told her she wasn’t quite lady enough to join us. She answered that she was nine. I let her know that being nine was what made her not quite a lady She asked if next year, when she has two digits, if she would be allowed to come.
We were heading home from dance class when we had this conversation, so I told her there is no job I prefer over being a mom, but it would be pretty tiring to wake up dancing and to keep dancing all the way to bed time, right? You have to stop and get a drink every now and then, and if you don’t take any break you actually get worse at dancing!
I explained that with momming, we really do wake up and go to sleep as moms—and even while sleeping, we never stop. But sometimes it is just nice to stop and get a drink so that we can come back happy to do more.
I am so thankful for my KidsROCK friends with whom I can every now and then stop and get a drink!
