Today it feels like no event has met my expectations and no one is helping me stick to my agenda (getting tons of writing done and the house in order), but the most frustrating part of it is my attitude, which irritates even me. Of course, I don’t expect that I’ll enjoy every second of this business of parenting, but charity begins at home, right?
So, what’s the solution?
(Tell me what you’d do.)

I really enjoyed the article, "Enjoy Every Second"… and your comments as well. I think that I was one of the old ladies who gave you that advice many blogs ago. Sorry. I guess I just wish I had slowed down w/ my children and all of life and even now!! That I would not have competed, striven, been so achievement oriented and more attuned to the really important things (intangibles) and had given the 'urgent' things less of a sense or urgency. I hope that makes sense.I have a feeling whatever you are doing is just fine. I can tell by the way you write, the books you read & and the questions you ask 🙂
Thanks for the encouraging words, Cyd. No need to apologize. I try to surround myself with people who me remind me of what is truly important because it seems so easy to lose track of this.
