Can't Seem To.....

Catch up on laundry or get my room cleaned.I am not getting enough sleep these days. My fifteen minute power naps are slipping away from me. My phone never stops ringing. My car needs washed, BADLY.... Wild Thing needs a hair cut! I need to find time to blog (journal) and scrapbook. I am falling seriously behind. I have barely had a chance to shop for Christmas. If Santa refused to show his jolly self this year I am sure there would be mutiny. I realized though that all these things are not really so bad. I can fix all of them. My main reason for not getting to those things are these six pals of mine.

 They are getting tons of face time and we are all loving it. The weather is cooling down and I can be found many afternoons neglecting my house work out in the front yard playing with them. We took a road trip this week. We have taken advantage of Miss M's and C-Dogs later bedtime by playing fun games of UNO over and over.Nothing like a Sunday evening around the table getting some quality time in with the older kids who I feel just don't get enough Mom and Dad time.We laugh and tease and eat snacks. These are the times I want them to remember!! Not the who is that crazy lady over there that used to be my Mom times, or isn't the back of Moms head beautiful? Sure wish she'd get off that computer and pay some attention to me times. I want those times to pale in comparrison. So maybe I will catch up and then again, maybe I won't........

You're making the right choice. We play lots of Uno at our house too.

This time of year brings both stresses, but also wonderful moments.
Oh, I can't wait for it all- & hopefully I can celebrate the holidays with very little stress:)

I think you're making the right choice too, they'll be plenty of time to catch up when they don't need so much of your time.

After reading your post, I made a goal to only get on the computer when Brody is taking a nap or Don is home. I don't him to think that either...

Thanks!
