Okay, okay
So the only being on the computer twice a day is not working! Karin gave me three weeks! Ha! Anyway, We have been doing a lot of stuff and I'm feeling like my kids are getting what they need so if I take some time to myself they aren't missing me too much!
Yesterday we went to the movies, painted, played the mat game(as the princess calls it) about 10 times(and really Cranium games are the BEST! We own several and everyone loves to play them!), cleaned out the game closet so we could see what was still playable this summer, and did a few chores (but all together!) Today involved the library, washing the car in bathing suits, (the kids were in suits, not me!) cleaning the garage, and lunch out. The McDonald's by our house gives free meals to kids with all A's on their report card, so we ate really cheap today!lol! So we're playing and having fun and being together which is what I want and love. And as long as that's happening, I think I can steal a few minutes away now and then!

It's the quality not the quantity. And you really do deserve a few minutes for yourself here and there!
I think you forgot all about how much more time you have now that your not driving 3 hours a day.
Sounds like a fun couple of days at your house.
I didn't even think of that Janet!
And while I do think the quality of the time you spend with your kids is important, they need LOTS of time too. I don't buy the quality time argument all the way.
Um, i don't have kids to give time to ;-)
Of course they need lots of time! Hello? Toddler! lol! I was just reminding you that you need time to do the things you like to do as well...lol!
I know that. and really, while a toddler requires lots of time because you have to do every little thing for them that doesn't mean you can or should spend less time with kids who are not toddlers anymore. Once your kids are out in the world there's a whole lot more that you have to do for them!lol!
