My slice of life moment happened last week. I was able to enjoy time with my babies. No grading papers, working on upcoming lessons,no multi-tasking homework (theirs and mine) while we have conversations and I prepare dinner. I was able to be … their mom, goofy, not-stressed ... happy.

I realized that I spend so much time trying to be everything they need (a role model, provider, educator) that I miss out on being what they want… just mom being goofy and hanging out watching TV.
