When I'm with my kids, I often find myself thinking about laundry, what's for dinner, what I need to do for my store, etc...and not enjoying the moment with them. More of a "let's get through this and move on" attitude. This year, I'm going to really try to, again, slow down and savor the time with them. They are growing so fast....I really don't want to lose a minute of it.
Today when I dropped Avery off at school she asked "Momma, can you eat lunch with me today" My reaction was gosh...I have so much to do...Mckinney tomorrow, laundry, dinner, some errands.....but two days ago she was eight....and now she's 9. I'll blink and she'll be ten. So....I'll go and have lunch with my sunshine girl....we'll talk about horses and her best friends....math tests and making art from recycled cans....and I'll really, really enjoy my time with her...my newly 9 year-old girl.
