R & R - Mama Style

I’ve been sitting in the driveway for 45 minutes and I’m running out of coffee. Charlie falls asleep almost every day on the 7 minute drive to drop Finn off at daycare. And every mom knows, you don’t mess with a sleeping baby.

I used to drive around the neighbourhood but two things have happened that forced a change in habit. First, I realized that I can’t scroll insta, or fb, or just stare into space, if I’m driving. Not very relaxing. Second, and more importantly, I think my neighbours assume I’m crazy, which is fair when you’ve driven by the same house like 6 times in 15 minutes. Or that I’m casing the area for weak security systems lol. We’re already on shaky ground there...when we bought this house, Stephan and I used to come drive by every day for 4 months before our move in date. Drive slowly, at night, in a van with super dark tinted windows that is...we are all about good first impressions!

Anyways, as my friend puts it, this is the luxurious life of a mom. Where good quality me time comes with a cold McDonald’s coffee, while sitting in the driveway. I’m so pampered. Maybe I’ll pack one of those disposable face masks and some nail polish for tomorrow’s daycare drop off.
