Slow down...Enjoy your family.

Have you ever just sat down alone and thought about how quickly life passes us by? or take our families for granted?   I did that today,  I've been thinking a lot.  I guess being on maternity leave I do have some time on my hands.  I'm not always tending to the baby, he does sleep, and my kids are in school full time, and my husband is at work.  So I do have time to spend on me, or play online when they are at school,sleep or work.  SO calm down! No one is being neglected.  So recently I have had  time to reflect on life and all that emotional garbage. Today I was thinking, it's been 5 weeks since I had DJ.  And I've been out of work since the last week in November.   A break that was most def needed!  But I was thinking why do we rush things?   we rush traffic,  we rush the day,  we as people are just always in a hurry to make the day or our life to go by so quickly.   I'm guilty of it.   I think we should just slow down, breathe, and enjoy our families.  

I often get mad if the house isn't perfectly clean, or my kids mess up their homework.  I just need to calm down and enjoy the moments I have with my family.    Last year I saw people post on facebook about loved ones passing away,  or I watch in the news how babies and kids were killed in wrecks or by abuse.   These parents don't have their kids to do homework with, or to tuck in at night.  I couldn't imagine losing a child.  and I think about that when I start yelling or get impatient with my kids.  Like what for?  There are so many parents that will never get this chance again.   Why take it for granted?  I mean there are times I even yell from the bedroom at night "nite kids".   Are you serious?  This year I want to be more patient.  I want to be able to be a better mom, a fun mom, a more patient mom.   I think we are all guilty of this,  but only some will admit it.   LOL.   Anyway.  I'm going to start blogging more.  You can follow me on twitter as I update that just as much as I update facebook....
