It's amazing she did it in a way that we never felt as if she didn't want us around, but we had enough respect not to intrude when she was writing, reading or praying. Children understand this if moms will teach them with both kindness and reverence with not only what they say but how they say it and what they do. All the very best, dear sweet mom.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-77127319920955780012010-05-29T10:38:04.043-04:002010-05-29T10:38:04.043-04:00What a beautiful ending line, Kelly, and so very t...What a beautiful ending line, Kelly, and so very true.

But sadly I can only do that if my husband is home - so if it's earlier I usually turn on the tv onto pbs or something and get on the computer awhile while the kids are preoccupied for a bit. Or I sit in the playroom amongst their chaos and tune them out with a book. :)Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725881252851352861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-9492429385294148632010-05-28T09:37:47.825-04:002010-05-28T09:37:47.825-04:00I try to force myself to get that time in to mysel...I try to force myself to get that time in to myself every week. It has not always been easy, but I find when I do, I am overall happier. And you know what they say when mama ain't happy...<br /><br />Glad you got in a few moments to yourself, however brief.
