Living on kid time July 8, 2008
Posted by spacemom in : Parenting 101 , trackbackLately, I have been swamped. This week is a total kid time week. We have Girl Scout camp this week. The bus for girl scout camp picks up at 7:30ish and leaves at 7:35. Yesterday it was there at 7:20! (we are used to the school bus coming at 8:35). In addition, we need to pick up Soleil at 4pm. This makes for an early and shorter than normal work day. The truth is, you work on kid time sometimes. This week is definetely kid time.
I know that as the kids get older, kid time will be more (being the mom car service) and less (Sorry mom, gotta be with my friends). Right now, I try to go with it. It’s hard, but I do try. I get nervous that I am not putting in enough at work, that I am not putting in enough mom, and not putting in enough lover. I worry that the house is going to hell in a handbasket. That I need to fix the hole in the bathroom wall, get the living room ceiling painted and get a lighting person in to assess adding recessed lighting in the living room.
But yesterday, while Soleil spent a Monday at camp, Luna and I spent the day together and it was nice just being on kid time.
