Are all of your stuffed animals all over the floor? You know you need to clean them up soon."<br /><br />Yuck.<br />I wouldn't want to be my kid!<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me to do better. <br /><br />15 minutes is a good place to start!Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338024034517721371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335392032603321111.post-7125269057714650682011-03-07T18:24:44.485-05:002011-03-07T18:24:44.485-05:00Why is this so hard?!

When did I become such a responsible adult...one that maintains the household and rarely plays with my kids?! I think this thought often too. I have great intentions, but perhaps I'll begin with 15 min. a day. See what happens. I'm with ya on this one Jo. =)Allie Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335392032603321111.post-17820116857846058222011-03-07T15:24:14.659-05:002011-03-07T15:24:14.659-05:00beth this seriously made me laugh. awesome. and yo...beth this seriously made me laugh. awesome. and you're right-- i am too hard on myself sometimes. i need a better balance. in oh so many areas.joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963185081215023212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335392032603321111.post-29752431144096363312011-03-07T14:39:04.322-05:002011-03-07T14:39:04.322-05:00One of my kids the other day said that grown ups d...One of my kids the other day said that grown ups don't play with little kids and it made me sort of sad, so I get you. Although my inclination is to tell you that I don't think you're lazy at all. Not when I look at all the pictures you post of you out walking with or baking with, snow angeling with, and waterfall finding with those littles of yours. Don't be too hard on yourself. Then again, I could just be saying that to make myself feel better for not playing with my kids right now, but let's not. Instead, let's pretend I'm a wise old friend that's just made you feel much better with my insight. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
