we picked up marley from school and went straight to the park for a picnic. they needed it. okay we all needed it. since having the baby it has been a little harder to get out as much. i can honestly say that when we do get out i can see the difference almost immediately in their behavior. they are so much happier, relaxed, and easy going. on the days i fall short and think, i’ll just throw a movie on so i can get such and such done, almost always back fires on me. i have this mind set and expectation that things will go smoothly while i get my “things” done. and when things don’t go as i expected i get short with them, as if it’s their fault. i’m not gonna lie, sometimes i snap at them and then that just creates a whole lot of frustration for all of us that leaves us all feeling crappy. thank goodness kids are quick to forgive.
so here’s to unplugging and remembering to unplug a little more. because unplugging with these kids of mine is what it’s all about, it’s where the memories are made. it’s the stuff they will remember forever.
