So as the date creeps closer, I feel that feeling that I have felt only a few times since I became a mother. The feeling that life is going to change and that my little boy is growing up.
I returned to work after having been off for 11 days with my favorite little people. As I ventured back to work, I felt both sad and excited to step back into the routine.
I have to admit, this year’s holiday mood is becoming contagious in this house. I truly feel that my year is going to end on a great new adventure and it starts with baking cookies……
On Saturday, I found my daughter uttering those dreaded words “I am BORED”. I almost reacted with the typical response of “this house is overloaded with kid’s toys…what?”
As we tumbled through the weekend, which consisted of play dates, a visit with the kids' father, and pool time; I found that none of the weekly house cleaning chores were getting accomplished.
I wonder if every mother feels the guilt that I feel when they walk away for some “alone” or “adult” time. As a mother, I wondered if this so called “quality time” is really necessary.
Do you find yourself constantly asking your children “just give me five minutes”? Do you find yourself spreading those five minutes over an hour because of interruptions?
