Slow it down

It's 10 minutes until midnight. Everyone else is in bed and I'm sitting here trying to think of something to write about. It's the only time I have to write uninterrupted.

Life has been pretty full these days with my three children and homeschooling and all that entails. I'm not sure how life became so busy. I've always just wanted things to remain simple. Simple is good. Life has way of taking over sometimes and overwhelming me so that I lose my focus.

This afternoon I found a picture album of Cody that I made of him when he was a little baby. Now he is 3 years old and I wonder where the time went?! And Emma is going to be 7 in a little over 2 months and I can't make it go any slower!

Tonight Beau fell asleep while I was holding him. There are always so many things to do around here that I knew I could get some of those things done if I put him down. But I didn't. I just sat my butt on the couch and held him. I didn't even turn on the t.v. I just sat there and listened to him breathe and listened to Cory upstairs playing with the kids.

And I didn't feel bad about it either. Not one bit.
