Gut feelings

What is it about growing up and realizing that your gut feelings really do make sense?!? While rocking my daughter back to sleep last night at 3 am and checking my email on my iPad (yes I'm a multitasker at heart) I saw the message come through about my son's baseball games. So I check out the updated tournament brackets and see that we have possible games on Saturday. Now this Saturday we had our 3rd Annual Beer Party planned, but something was telling me that we should cancel it. And seeing how I was up at 3 am with my daughter and that we may have baseball games, I knew that those were 2 things telling me the party was not a good idea. So I sent a little message to my husband and told him my hesitation with the party and sure enough he felt the same way. Phew! It is really crazy how my husband and I pretty much think alike. Kids come first and that's that.
So after I sent the message out this morning that the party was canceled, I instantly felt relief and started planning things to do with my kids (after baseball of course).
Now matter how much I want to have my free time, I know that anytime spent with my kids is precious and I need to take advantage of it...you never know what life will throw at you next.
