We mothers need our time so much, but sometimes just being a mommy and spending that extra few minutes with our children can be so much more rewarding. Thank you for sharing your story, it reminded me the importance of those little moments!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591958197532540516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985211159621672227.post-62535890798937931152010-06-14T17:46:57.485-04:002010-06-14T17:46:57.485-04:00Precious.

I often wish for more "me" time, but just love the time I spend with my 13 month old; and sometimes when I finally have "me" time, I miss cuddling with her (but can't wake her up, of course)!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852074984095473301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985211159621672227.post-543153071479191682010-06-14T13:53:52.573-04:002010-06-14T13:53:52.573-04:00What a great lesson in perspective.

But so good to remember to try and do best with whatever happens. So often I feel "robbed" when my (granted, younger than yours) baby doesn't nap when I think she is suppose to, when, really I could think this is instead time I get to spend with her. I need to remember scheduling now becomes a bit more flexible with kids and I need to "roll with it" a bit more than I am naturally inclined to ;)<br /><br />I'll get there. Love your blog, and the quotes and reminders to slow down and do just that.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581172582234851178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985211159621672227.post-20642475344347703452010-06-13T18:02:48.777-04:002010-06-13T18:02:48.777-04:00I find myself having these moments too.
