Uck!!!!!!!

Just another manic monday......

Why so Mondays always seem to be "manic Mondays" when children are involved?  Is is because the little darlings have been home all weekend with their parents?  When they come back to me on Mondays it takes half the day just to get them "back." Do their parents feel so bad about not spending time with them that they let them run the show all weekend?  Did parents forget to be parents?  Do parents not know the difference between quality and quanity time? It really doesn't matter to a child how much time you spend with them.  What matters is that you spend time with THEM.  Sitting in the same room texting on your phone while they run wild and climb the walls like a bunch of Monkeys jacked up on Mt. Dew..............no.  Watching tv while they are rolling around on the floor like a Dog with a bad itch............no. Yelling because you were on the phone while the children drew a colorful mural on the living room wall......no.  Maybe parents should grab a book and snuggle up with their child.  Get out the crayons (the ones that are way up high on that shelf) and get creative.  There are so many ways to spend an afternoon with a child................

Worn out

I feel worn out.  Physically and emotionally.  I don't know why.  I know that I am hoping that I made the right choice yesterday.  I think that my heart and my head are have a knock down drag out fight about that choice.  I hope that one wins soon.

Life is going too fast.....time to slow down

It is time to slow down.  Time to stop and think.....time to get back lost relationships that matter.  Time to let the people you love know it!  Say it.....show it.  Time to take care of yourself.  Spend a little time alone.  Time to pay it forward.  Time to be thankful for what you have.  Don't worry about what you don't have.  Are those things really important?  If they are then make them happen.  You can't just sit back and let life happen.  You must go out and make it happen, create it. Life is a one time thing.  There are no "do overs", once we leave the plant.  Leave your mark, leave a memory.  Now is the time to have the "do overs."  Fix mistakes that can be fixed.  Say "I'm sorry" to people you have hurt.  Small things that might not seem important might be important to someone, and you have the chance to make someone feel better.  You get what you give.  Life is hard?? Compared to WHAT???  Life can have difficult moments, days, weeks, hell maybe even months or years! BUT this is your life.  Change it, make it what you want it to be.  It is your life embrace it.

Let me in

Let me in.. .............I will listen to you...............

Communication

To exchange and express thoughts, ideas.....through speech. An exchange between two people. To listen and respond to the other person. Wouldn't it be nice if we all really did communicate like that. We can...........it take a little work, on both sides. Somewhat of a process. But worth it. I need to get better at it. I am willing to do it!!!
