Today we went to the splash pad. I ran around playing with the boys trying not to feel self conscious about my jiggling thighs or the fact that my spray tan had worn off revealing how shockingly white I really am. I let them spray me in the face which made them giggle and I even got my hair wet which Joshua pointed out since it's not my favorite thing to do. We made memories. As I dried them off they asked what we were having for lunch and I replied a turkey sandwich with grapes and carrots which got a nodding approval from an elderly lady commenting on the healthy lunch I was feeding them and I walked away in that moment as super mom. I let myself have the moment because just as often I've not gotten my hair wet, playing on my phone or reading a book soaking up those 30 minutes of peace. I've fed them chicken nuggets from happy meals or mac and cheese and I'm ok with this because being a mommy is all about finding that balance and realizing my kids love both types of me. But today I'll walk away from this moment like a boss.
