My Time

Time is not something I seem to have much of to myself these days. I know...it's only going to get worse (or better depending on how I look at it.)

In the business world, time is money. In my momma-world, time is precious.

I'm not talking about personal time, although I could and should guard mine a little better. I'm talking about the time spent as a momma.

Every day Graham is doing new things, exploring new skills, seeing things in a new way. And those moments are nothing short of precious to me.

Many of my blog posts begin with me trying to explain the lack of posts....I'm going to stop.

Call it a resolution or a revelation or just common sense but I'm going to spend a lot more time playing with G and less time on the computer.

He is only small once. He is my only child for just a little longer. So why would I spend those precious hours that we have together on the computer?!?

I would be lying if I acted like this little change in my daily routine was of pure conviction though. See, Graham is what some would call active. Mischievous. Busy. He has definitely learned that when I'm distracted, be it cooking or using the restroom, he makes great use of my absence by getting into things he knows are off limits. He has even learned to take said no-no's into one of our closets so that he can get into trouble without me noticing. He unwrapped an entire pack of gum, pieces and all, the other day while I was changing a load of clothes from the washer to the dryer. He's quick people!

So, I'm going to quit apologizing for my lack of blogging...now you know where I am. This really limits me to nap time and evenings. And I would also like to use those time for cooking, exercising, and spending time with Matt!

So in short, I'll do my best. There is so much going on in our world that I want to document. Please be patient with me and keep checking back!
