Naps always feel that way to me. Today I napped. Not a waste of time at all. The kids are fine, the dishes will get done- eventually, and while it was not on my list of things to do, it was so very much needed.

Huh. Funny about the ping. Sounds like a book I need to get my hands on… 🙂

It’s not that I’m so busy being productive around the house, it’s more that I waste time on Facebook and Pinterest. I truly need to stop, and spend more time small talking with my girls.
Thanks for the reminder!!

Even if my body is there, my brain is somewhere else. I just keep thinking that if I could just get a handle on the chores i’d be able to relax enough to enjoy them. But at the same time I know that they won’t be little forever. Mine are 2 and 5 and I’m just now having to accept how much they’ve grown up. Don’t know how to just set it all aside and focus on them.

In the end, it’s the relationship building and character of our children that matter more than a clean house or homemade bread. (Funny thing–this pinged on my Google notifications for my book, “Don’t Waste Your Time Homeschooling: 72 Things I Wish I’d Known.”)
