A. Overwhelmed.
B. Too busy to actually form into cohesive words the goings-on of our lives.
C. Sick.
I'd be willing to wager that most bloggers could add a few of their own reasons to that rather short list. Right?
And even though A-C have all been relevant for this blogger, I'm going to give more credit to the following list of
A. Charis (6.5 years) who loves relaxing and reading and time spent Mommy
B. Selah (almost 5) who loves being outside and running and racing and any time spent cuddling.
C. Raegan (2 years) who is constantly saying "Comb 'ere. I wanna show you sumpin."
D. And little Lani (8.5 months) who is growing faster than I can even begin to document.
Living in the Computer Age, it's so easy to get swept away with all technology has to offer:
...Facebook. MySpace. Email. IMing.
Texting. Twitter. ...and a host of other things that I don't even know well enough to call by name.
Internet group sites... For Moms of Many. For homeschoolers. For vegans who also live in tents. *wry grin* Any type of commonality that binds a group of people together, they have an Internet discussion group to represent it.
Blogs, whether reading or writing them. Researching...
Again, this list can go on and on.
And though our children don't always know what the heck we're doing on the computer (or some other electronic device)...the legitimate value that *some* of it may very well have...they DO know when we spend a lot of time sitting in front of it.
Time that could be spent sitting in front of them.
And so I've been doing that. trying to spend more focused time with them. playing outside. reading books. laughing over their silly jokes.
Because let's face it. What Facebook or Blogdom have to offer ain't got nothing when it comes to the sweetness of these little toes.
Toes that will not stay this small forever.
