Not Just Like Every Monday
Okay...I'm not at Mavericks (nor have I been really following the surf competition), but I am ~15 miles up the coast at Stinson Beach and I can tell a difference in the surf. This sunset pic I took doesn't show the craziness of the waves, but they're different.
But that's not why I'm writing about it.I'm writing because today could've been like every other Monday. On Mondays, I take the kids to my gym for jr club, then spend the afternoon re-grouping from the weekend and gearing up for the week with laundry, a possible grocery run..yada yada, you get the gist. But for the past few days my kids have kept asking 'When are going to the beach house again?' (my MIL has a true beach house, and it's ~1 hr from our house). I just kept saying soon.
Well this morning I realized 'soon' should be today. And, it was a bit hard to put my own pangs of unfinished work/house/life stuff aside, to realize I needed to just go now. Because my kids are only 4 once, and the window of spontaneity will be gone and swept up into the conformity of kindergarten, sports, etc, before I know it. So I packed a small bag and we took off.
So there you have it. My Mom Monday thought. To all the Mama's in the house, are ya baggin' what I'm raking?

Good for you for being spontaneous! It's so hard to put everything aside that we "have" to do and just do what we "want" to do. I'm sure your kids absolutely loved it! :)
That's my son...and he looks rad!!
Sometimes we just need to ditch the laundry and cleaning and spend more quality time with our kids:) You made the right decision and you know it!! Good for you...and look at your little guy...he is just mesmerized:) The picture is priceless:) I am glad that you had fun!! FYI: I have been to Stinson Beach several times:) Love it!!

And the look on your son's face is too precious for words.
