1. Silence. Make it happen by any means possible, we aren’t picky.

2. Caffeine. Tons of it. Boat loads. Gift it with glee.

3. A cleaning lady. Have you met our family?

4. Someone to teach these kids something. Anything at all at this point. Mama needs a B R E A K.

5. A trip to somewhere other than the grocery store. (Unless we’re talking about a solo trip to Target. That’s still a good idea.)

6. A bissel crosswave. They’re all the rage this year See number 3.

7. A babysitter. A good one. You know the one your wife likes, just call her.

8. Sleep. Just let her sleep.

9. A no questions day. No questions allowed. Mom won’t answer them. Someone else can figure it all out for (at minimum) 24 hours.

10. Someone to cook for all these kids for a couple days. Also, someone to do all the dishes

If none of these seem attainable, then this one is for you:

WHATEVER SHE DANG WANTS!!!! Because this year hasn’t even been a ride, it’s been the whole dang road trip.

(Yes, we love our families. We wouldn’t trade it all for anything. But no one, I mean no one, knew what 2020 had in store. Mamas need breaks too Merry Christmas)
