play...

So a friend of mine recommended this blog. Read it when you have a minute to reflect but be prepared for a few tears. This woman seems far older than her years. Be sure to read the posts, "Answers" and "I CAN DO HARD THINGS." I want to go home right now, scoop up my boys and cuddle with them. None of the three will allow that much sitting still, so what I will do is really play with them when we visit the park tonight, instead of chatting with whatever other mom is there. I want to save being "just soooo tired" for another day; I don't want to look back and regret what I missed while I was busy being tired, busy getting them off to school, busy working toward a stupid house, busy insisting that they pick a sport, pick a hobby, pick a college, pick a profession, grow up. Having our little Keo has been bittersweet because I remember these precious times with my big boys, before all the distractions that we introduce too early in their little lives. I treasure the memories of times that are flying by just too fast, and I treasure the boys that I am blessed to call my own, who are teaching their mom far more than their mom is teaching them.

She created this video, I love it:
