Okay, so I am a little sad tonight about Noah going back to pre-k tmrw. It's not the fact that he will be away from me for 3 hours Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I am not worried that he won't have a good time or receive good care. It's the fact that he is old enough to be in pre-k. It just makes me realize how fast he is growing up. I can't believe that he has been in my life for almost 5 years! I know that pre-k will turn into K-5, then 1st grade, then he will be gone all day 5 days a week. I am just not ready for that. It's just all happening much quicker than I would like.
Sometimes I wonder about how I am spending my time with my kids each day. Am I making the most of every minute with them? There are so many days that seem to come and go ... and it doesn't seem like we got to do much of the things I thought we would. It makes me think I should cut back on our activities but then I know we would just stay home, go crazy, and get on each other's nerves. I guess we just have to find a balance. Tmrw will not be the balance. Our Mondays now consist of Pilate's in the am, school in the afternoon, and soccer practice at 6pm! I know sometimes I feel guilty for doing this Pilate's class because I don't HAVE to do that.
Anyways I am just rambling! But it feels like my little ones are growing up so fast and I wonder if I am making the most of our time.
Don't feel guilty about making time for yourself. I am trying to be better about it and it does us so much good! We have to take care of ourselves in order to take care of our family!!!
ReplyDeleteBlog question: When you add pictures, do you add the gadget "add a picture" or do you use html? My pics are always above my blog posts. Thanks!
You do have to! Well, you should. :) Don't feel bad about mommy-time. It keeps us sane so the time we spend with the kids is that much better.
ReplyDeleteI always feel guilty too. But...we have to have our time so we can stay sane. I struggle with the spending time with the kids thing...I always wonder if I am doing enough. But really in the big pic as long as we are spending time, loving them, teaching them and being with them we are doing what we are called to do, right? I sure hope so.
