I'm wondering if I have the will power to limit my computer usage (or at least non specific usage) to twice a day. Non specific also includes checking my email since, unless it's expected, nothing is urgent and if it's urgent I usually communicate via phone anyway. I waste a lot of time sitting in front of my computer. If I got on, say, first thing in the morning and then didn't get on again until after the kids were in bed, I'd have a awful lot more time to do stuff around the house and with my kids. Not that the computer really takes all that much away from my kids, but it definitely helps me procrastinate on housework!
It's 11:30 and I just finished doing dishes. Not even finished them - they still need to be put away. And it's 11:30. Lunch time. Time to make more dirty dishes. I remember when Bob and I used to have an empty sink for at least a couple of hours in the afternoon.
I love my children and, to be honest, I'm enjoying them now more than I have in the past 2 years or so, but I am so glad they don't stay little any longer than they do. Not only am I excited to see how they change and who they become, but I'm also really looking forward to the day when they can really help out around here and do thing for themselves and aren't so labor intensive. I'm looking forward to being able to hop in the car and go someplace or even - gasp! - go someplace on my own and leave them her without a babysitter! Of course, that's about 8 years away. But it will happen some day!
I still haven't logged Molly into school yet. I need to clean up the living room and vacuum the first floor and then, when Liam wakes up and the kids have had lunch, we can go out and get the stuff we need. Maybe I'll just do school with her tomorrow... I don't think she has that much to do today.
I'm behind on pictures... I still need to do this month's teddy picture with the kids. Maybe I'll get that done this afternoon as well. Oh, and I need a shower...
Guess I should stop typing.
