Where is the time?

A year has almost elapsed since my last post. I blame the kids and their insistence that I parent them. Crazy, huh? A lot has changed in a year. We live in a new house, I've attempted home schooling, my younger two are about to start home schooling, I've gone to college, and about a million little things that take up huge portions of life but somehow fall in between the cracks of my memory. How do we spend so much time doing things we don't even remember? A year is all it takes to forget 90% of your life.... I've made it my mission to start doing more things that I will remember. I'm not going to remember the three hours I spent binge watching tv shows on Netflix. Or the eight hours I spent surfing Pinterest (don't judge, you know you do it too). Although to be fair, everything I cook I found on Pinterest along with all of my homemade cleaning supplies. Still, there are better memories to be made. Like playing super heroes with my kids, or making messes with them. Time to get my priorities back on track. I made a list of things to remember, and hung it up on the wall opposite the couch so, when in wasting time, I can see it staring at me. I titled it Mommy Reminders and it says the following: They are only children; have realistic expectations. Never discipline when angry. Let my children be my entertainment. What I say to my kids will be what they hear in their heads. My only job is being a good parent. Nothing else is as important as this." My life will be directed by these mommy reminders, and hopefully I'll stop living life for my enjoyment and start living for their betterment.
