Play with me Mommy...

I think I hear that phrase 50 times a day. Nathaniel wants my undivided attention the entire time he is awake. I would love to give it to him all the time, but I can't. It makes me feel so bad! I have Ms B to play with and take care of. I have dishes to do, laundry to do, homework to do. Will I ever stop feeling bad when I tell him "In a few minutes"? I do admit there are many days my husband comes home from work and there is still a sink full of dirty dishes and 2 or 3 loads of unfolded laundry on the bed. Oops! I was busy playing :)

    I know how you feel, but trust me they grow up fast....toooo fast. Enjoy this time as much as you can. When I read your post I thought of the poem on my wall.

    ~Excuse This House~

    Some houses try to hide the fact
    that children shelter there,
    ours boasts it quiet openly,
    the signs are Everywhere.



    For smears on the windows,
    little smudges on the doors,
    I should apologize I guess,
    for toys strewn on the floor.



    But I sat down with the children,
    and we played and laughed and read,
    and if the doorbell doesn't shine,
    their eyes will shine instead.



    For when at times I am forced to choose,
    the one job or the other,
    I'd like to cook, and clean, and scrub,
    but first I'll be a MOTHER.
