spend more time with my kids

busy busy busy…want to give them my full attention for even a little time each day. they’re precious!

Had a nice day at the beach today!

Spend time with them every day! The time goes so fast, it won’t seem long and they will have left home altogether and all that time will have been wasted :)

went shopping with the kids tonight, good times. They are silly and make me giggle.

I tend to get wrapped up with me and all the things I want to do and accomplish and I forget some of the best times are unplanned times. I can spend more time with my family by fixing dinner more often and being in the living room with them instead of holed up in my room. There are only a few more years I can enjoy this time of their lives.

Doing better! Working less and doing more with them. Not there yet though.

I read somewhere that on average parents only spend about 10 minutes a day of actual conversation with there kids.

That’s sad, if its true, I just want to make sure that’s not me!

I am the mom of 3 handsom, intelligent sons

As a stay-at-home mom it seems like this would be something that comes naturally. But even though I’m around my kids all of the time sometimes it feels like I’m not enjoying them enough. I think my lack of sleep makes me a bit nippy and we have a small home so when they get rambunctious I get upset. I hope I can learn to not take the way they act so personally anymore, and that I can slow down and spend more time doing the little things with them. Talking to them more and playing with them more.

...darn driver’s licenses, anyway. It was great while it lasted, but even the one who was living with us has moved back down with their dad, for now.
I’m a little depressed. I don’t even know for sure when they’ll be back. If only I could afford 3 computers with WoW installed on each, they might wanna spend more time here.
Meanwhile, I’ll try to get some work done around here and have some alone time with my hubby.
