Wow, it has been almost a month since I blogged anything. Everything has been so busy. I keep thinking about what I would do if I knew I had a short time to live. Would I really be this busy? Do these things really have to get done?
Several times today Bella asked to go slide. I had so many things to do that I had already put off all week. I tried to get them all done in time, but at the end of the day it just didn't happen.
At dinner, I told Matt about it and it hit me that I should have taken her to go slide. I drug her around all day, rushing her here and there so that I could get it all done. All she wanted was some "mommy time" and 20 minutes at the playground.
I missed it today. But I thank God that he opened my eyes to it now, rather than when she is 15 and I wonder where the time went. What a perfect time for this book in my life. God definately works it all out perfectly.

I don't know exactly why but this made me cry, I know how you feel, our kids just want mommy time. thanks for the reminder.
I think you are a wonderful mother, I watch you with Bella, and that child will always know how loved and wanted she was and is. You and Matt are great parents!
I know how you feel about "I have to get it done" sometimes I feel overwhelmed because I miss a day of cleaning and my mind goes bonkers! But at the end of the day spending time with God and my family is really what counts, not how spotless all the bathroom mirrors are.
