"I wish I had treasured the doin a little more and the getting it done a little less"

I want to stop saying this each night when I go to bed! That tomarrow will be different-that I will take advantage of TIME tomarrow.

How many tomarrows do I think I have? How many tomarrows do I think my daughters are going to be there-waiting for me to take advantage of the time I have with them on the next day? It always seems so clear in the evening when they are all asleep- The things I should have done different, the things that should have been on my priority list, the laughs I should have had with them if I would have let myself laugh. Greg always says,"You are always saying "no" to something, every time you make a choice. How many times am I going to tell my girls "no" before they are done waiting? Today-its a beautiful word.

This is exactly what has been on my mind lately, too. I want to make the most of every day. Sometimes that is hard, especially when you are trying to keep up with the grind of raising a young and busy family. But, I think it is possible, and I'll work on it, too! Thanks for the post.

SO adorable. Congrats guys :) I enjoy reading your blog. I am the same way- I say no to much and don't enjoy my family the way I should. Thanks for the post.

Why is it that we always have "self pep talks" before we go to bed at night? Why not in the morning when they might really do some good? That's my problem!

I think you're great!

And I miss you lots!

PS-Every time I hear the Dixie Chicks I think of you...is that weird?
