Maybe you feel like I do…There’s always a million things going on and a million things pending BUT sometimes everything else can/needs to wait. This is especially true when it means stopping everything to snuggle with 1 or both of my babies which is exactly what I did this last night. It seems as though my to do list is never-ending and as quickly as I check off 1 item I quickly add 5 more, so it is definitely not worth the stress.
Life is hectic and if we’re not careful we can get consumed by it all and miss out on precious moments that we will never get back. So I urge you to stop focusing on all that needs to get done (it will still be there) and take the time to enjoy life…everything else can wait!!
This is a hard concept for me. When my son was an infant, I didn’t put time with him above what needed to be done.. I just knew he would still be there after vacuuming, or dishes, or laundry. I just assumed he was fine and didn’t need me. I regret that now. But I can’t change the past, and now when I’m doing something and climbs on my lap – that takes precedence. I don’t know if we’ll have more kids, but I do know that if we do, things will be done differently.
