McMama

In my life before motherhood, the mere idea of stepping foot inside a fast food play area was enough to send shivers down my spine. It's hard to say whether the germs or the chaos frightened me more. How could parents possibly emerge from those places with their eardrums and sanity intact?

.........

Fast forward several years to this morning, when I awoke to freezing temperatures and steady rain. I finished getting my little guy dressed and began wondering what we could do to burn off some toddler energy in such yucky weather. Not begrudgingly, but happily, I loaded us up into the car and headed down the road to the McDonald's...



What can I do but laugh and myself and the way that life continuously shifts my perspective?
