Well it’s Friday again. Seems like the weekends come and go and there is really nothing to get excited about. I have been working non stop since June and I have only had 1 day off. It is not big deal because my weekend job is not hard, but I miss sitting with the kids and just playing. Monday – Thursday we are scrambling to get dinner on the table, kids in the baths, and bedtime rituals done. Am I going to wake up one day and regret all of the lost time? I hope not. What has this world come to that we have to have not a 1, not a 2 or ever a 3, but a 4 job family? I can not wait for winter. Not because I love the cold, I actually hate it, but I know in the winter the daycare cost goes down and my time with the kids increases. We love to snuggle on the couch on a cold winter day. All winter I complain that it is too cold, and all summer I complain that it is too hot. I guess I need to stop thinking about the temperature outside and start thinking about the quality time with my kids that I can never get back. Sean is almost 7 months old, Becca is starting 1^st grade and little Kevin will be having his kindergarten assessment before we know it. I can still vividly remember the day I found out I was pregnant with Becca. I remember calling Candice and making her come with me to buy the 5^th pregnancy test. Yes, I was not convinced by the first 4! Then I called my Dr and insisted that they do a test in the office. How can I remember that so vividly but I can not remember what I had for lunch yesterday? I think it is important to not look back and say I should have done this, or I should have done that! I do not want any regrets, so from this point forward I promise myself and my kids that I am going to play, play, play. I work hard enough, I deserve the time to play with them.
