Good Morning World
It feels so good to wake up before everyone else and have the morning in peace. I need to get back on a schedule. I am acting like a teenager which is a nice feeling also. Staying up late and sleeping in ( 9 am that is compared to 5:30)haven't done that in about 13 years. It's kind of nice when your kids sleep to 9 am. Does that mean when they are teenagers that I will stay in bed to 12 to 1? That's when I wonder how much of an adult am I really. My mom was always up before me, I never remember her staying in bed. I on the other hand stay in bed and sometimes when my kids are already up. What kind of mother does that? I guess my kind of mother. My kids know no other way. And don't get me wrong it's not like I ignore them I am listening to their actions and when warranted I jump out of bed and deal but most often they will watch TV. And I don't mind that for when I am staying in bed it is due to the fact that we do not have to be anywhere which is usually not very often. With our busy schedule my kids don't get much TV time so an occasional Sat morning with cartoons never hurt anyone.
Next week I must get back on task though. With the summer passing by I have to accomplish my goals and will be quite disappointed in the end if they are not done.
Need to get ready for the Pass It on Sale, which mean lots of cleaning out of kids stuff.
It can be so hard to get rid of their stuff, it means they are growing and getting older. Where did that child go that would play with the little people for hours. Now that mope around and say I'm bored. I have found that I have entertained my children too much for now they can not occupy themselves. I never needed my mom to play with me or swim with me. My kids are fortunate to have a pool available to them but they don't play unless I am with them . It drives me nuts.!
Maybe they are too fortunate and if they did not a have all this stuff then they could Play. I don't provide them with this stuff either. We live an era where grandparents are more well off and just give so much to their grand kids, so I try endlessly to figure out ways to stop the cycle for the real world will harsh for them if they can not use their imagination and figure things out.
So any of you with very small children, let them entertain themselves often it is more beneficial in the long run. You are not a bad parent for doing this you are actually a good parent teaching them beneficial life skills.
