At the Cabin with Friends!

Sometimes you just have to pack up wiggly kids, a TON of groceries, scooters, bug nets, beach chairs, and a boat-load of bags stuffed to the brim, just so you can have that good, soul-nourishing time with your friend.  For three solid days, even with 8 people in a one bedroom cabin, I had a partner-in-crime.  Talking.  Not talking.  Packing up lunches for the beach.  Disciplining kids.  Listening.  Sitting on the bank of a creek watching our sweet kids build dams and slip on rocks.  Making dinner.  Understanding.  THIS I have craved and desperately needed and HAD to make happen.  Now, to make sure that I figure out a way to fill those lonely mommy days and nights and weekends with more of this.  With more connection.  With more relationships.  With more time communicating with those beautiful people that feel just as Lost in Space.  Those comfortable, easy, family-friendships do not come along often for me.... and I am immensely thankful to have this friend in my life.
