time well spent

As most of you know I am a stay at home mom.  

So I am home all day with Jordan and Michelle.
I am the woman who does it all.
Cooks, cleans, runs the house, makes sure the kids are doing what they are supposed to be doing, knows who needs what, where they need to be and when, and my name is always being said to answer a question or help with this.
You get the idea.

But lately I have realized that even though I am here and
 present but I don't really spend that much one on one time with the kids.

Like get down on the floor and play, paint finger nails quality time.

 I am usually doing my thing cleaning, cooking, running the house, ect.

Meanwhile they do their thing.

Jordan and I talk all day long and interact.

 I "look" at his latest creation when he asks me too.

I help take his toys up and down the stairs.

I help with homework questions after school with Michelle.

We love watching  snuggle shows in the evenings.

But I rarely stop what I am doing or take a break between tasks to just sit on the floor and play.

I can be a very selfish mommy.

 Always wishing for more time for myself to do what I want to do.

I get time...lots of it...but I am still always wanting more.

I look forward to bed time not because I get to tuck the kids in bed and spent a few moments with them but so I can have uninterrupted time on the computer.

In the end my family is so much more important then any of those things.

 I don't EVER want my kids to think that I never had time for them.

I have all the time for them!

I want to show them that.

This is something I really want to work on.
To just let everything else go for a bit and just enjoy them.

Yesterday I decided the laundry could wait.
I wanted to spend some time with Jordan.

So we played two games of Guess Who, played a game of sorry, and "played" angry birds.

An hour flew by!

It was a lot of fun!
