It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some Jaiaisms. This kid has me in stitches most days with the stuff she comes up with. She just seems so very grown up with the way thinks sometimes.
Jaia: Mama, are you tired?
Me: Yes.
Jaia: You can’t be. you have two kids!
Me: I do. And who do you think makes me this tired?
Jaia: Wesley.

One day, after school…
Me: So Jaia, did you have fun at school today?
Jaia: I had so much fun! Then she stops to think… Do little girls who have fun at school get ice cream?

A few weeks ago when Dan was away on business…
Jaia: Where’s Daddy, Mama?
Me: Daddy’s out of town.
Jaia: He’s in the forest?
Me (laughing): No, he’s in a town called Barrie.
Jaia: Mama, that’s not a town, that’s a fruit!
Me (still laughing): Good point.

I’m leaving for the weekend. I’m heading to a cottage with some of my besties. It is the 8th or 9th annual getaway. It’s a time for us to get away, to re-connect and to selfishly take care of only ourselves for a few days. For me, it’s going to involve a lot of sleep. Even if I can’t squeze in a nap or two, just sleeping through the night for the first time in months will be heaven sent. I can’t wait.
Leaving my babies for the weekend? Harder than you’d think. But they are with their dad and they will have a blast. And me, I’ll be pampering myself with some serious and long overdue girl time. And on Sunday when I get back I will be relaxed, refreshed, re-connected and ready to jump back into my crazy, sleep-deprived, and very awesome reality.
Have a great one! See you in a few!!
