Precious Times

With the cold weather now here it makes me very sleepy and just want to ball up under warm blankets. Apparently this is happening with Audrey as well. We got home from taking the boys to school and she said "I am cold" I suggested that she get her warm "blanky" and curl up on the couch in front of the fireplace. She said, "OK!" Then she replied with, "How about we snuggle together and read books" I was really wanting to get some things done around the house. Then I thought OK just for a few minutes. I agreed to read her 2 books then I had to get busy. After finishing the 2 books she then suggested that we go to my comfy bed and snuggle to watch Dora. Again another battle within myself about all that needs to be done. Just then the phone rang and it was my husband. I voiced my mental battle with him and immediately he replied, "You don't have too many moments like this left. You better take advantage of them while you can." I thought, "What about the mess in my home. Then reality hit me. The mess will always be here but my children won't!" God has given my children to me for only a short while and before I know it they will be gone. So, my daughter and I are off to my nice comfy bed to snuggle and watch Dora. This was just one of those moments again that I just want to freeze in time. All moms reading this please stop what you are doing and go do something fun with your child, even if for only 5 minutes. You won't regret it. Hope everyone is having a great day. I sure am! I mean what could be better than your child wanting to spend precious time with you? Nothing!(that is my personal opinion)
