This is something I struggle with all the time. It's hard to remember sometimes that there will always be "just one more" task I could be working on, but my daughter's childhood is only so many moments long. Thanks for sharing this.

I am right with you in the "one more minute"...and all the rest. Definitely guilty! This is such an important reminder that is too easy to forget when we get caught up in the busyness of life.

Thank you! I took some time to paint with my kids on Monday. I realized that the To Do list was never going to be totally done. It is just so hard to remember that!

Mine are 18, 22, 24 and 26! Guess what...dirty laundry and dishes come back again and again, but those toddler and little kid moments never do. Your wake-up call came in plenty of time for you to enjoy the kiddies, and to notice great word-subs like "articles." (Too cute!) It's like that poem that ends: "I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep." And if your house occasionally goes to heck in a handbasket, remind yourself that the Queen isn't coming for a visit!

Our children need to see that we are invested in them as bit as much as in everything else that we do. Thanks for posting this, Amy!
