My kids are getting old enough that they don't need me to play with them so much. I must confess I was loving it for awhile, I was able to catch up on things that I have not done in years since their birth. I have gotten so use to it in fact I have noticed that I really have not played downright fun kind of play in a long time. They are content playing together all day for the most part and they play with my husband a lot too. When they have asked in the past couple of weeks to play with me I have always had some excuse or I'd rush through the activity. My husband has even noticed it and was encouraging me to once again play even for 5 minutes because that is all they really have wanted but only thinking of myself--darnit--I have just moved in and out of my days not thinking to much about it until today. It was hot and muggy here today and the boys had the sprinkler under the trampoline and were jumping with the neighbor boy which I thought would be my ticket out of not jumping with them. After a few minutes they came in to see if they could do squirt guns and I said yes so I went to fill them up and they started to squirt me and instead of getting mad about getting wet I heard my dear husbands voice in my head to relax and just have fun, don't worry about dinner or the housework......I finally took that advice and ran around the yard trying to get away from them and boy oh boy did they love that, I let them corner me and they had a blast and to be honest, so did I, so much so we got the hose out and were now onto the full fledge water war! What fun we had and to see the joy on all of our faces, just think I ALMOST MISSED IT! Today I felt like a kid again instead of the boring mom I have been lately. Hmmmmmm maybe tomorrow we will get out the super soaker's and water balloon's. I am looking forward to seeing all that joy once again.
