Lost in Thought

So I feel like I am a slacker mom sometimes.  Why can't I do it ALL?  I want to give more time to my kids and stop worrying about the house being cleaned of all toys lying around and dishes in the sink.  I want to sit and play dress up with Brinley and make Beckham laugh all day long.  Instead I am too busy stressing about little things that in the long run really don't matter.  I was reading my aunt's blog and she was talking about who she wants with her because in the long run we can't take any of our possessions with us. Thanks for your post Heidi. I have been thinking about this for a while and you really put it into the right words for me. We can't take our books, our crafts, our tv's, we take our families. Our kids. Our spouses.  Why can't I always remember that? This is something I vow to work on.  I want to be a better wife. To actually make dinner for my family before I leave for school. To make sure my wonderful husband feels loved and adored. (because I really do adore him.) I want to be a better mom. Put down the book and pay more attention to their little features and the personalities that they are growing into because really they won't be this age much longer.  I want to spend time with the people in my life that really matter. The people I will take with me.
