Yesterday my oldest had to come
to a nearby town for work. I was so excited to see her that I cancelled my standing every-other-Thursday hair appointment and drove across the Delta to meet her for dinner, thinking I would feel guilty for not having a mother home for her to stay in. I didn't. She has an expense account. We had too much fun. We each picked up our own check. She stayed at a hotel near to where she was working. I drove back to the barnloft mother-guilt free. The familiar and new things of home were waiting for me. They said welcome. They said you did a good job. Now wash your face. Brush your teeth. And go to bed. And I obeyed.



Oh, look at your beautiful daughter. You both are lovely, sitting together as mamas and daughters can do so well. Well done on dumping the guilt and dwelling in the goodness. xox
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear friend. You of all people know how much effort goes into getting a mother daughter sit down - and - dumping the guilt xx
