...and that's good enough for now

I wondered today about whether or not I am putting my time in the right places.  There are SO many options of how I can use my time and I am very aware that where I choose to spend it may not be where others would.  Everyone has different priorities: some prioritize a clean home at the top of their list, others fitness.  Some prioritize cooking gourmet meals every night while others spend a lot of time on hobbies.  I am not pointing fingers at all.  I just realize that when I try to make everything a priority, then nothing is a priority.  I am finding that I am most satisfied at the end of the day when I have made my kids my priority - even when that means that other things are lacking.  I am trying harder to incorporate those important things back into my life better - cleaner house, exercising with my kids, doing my hobbies after they go to sleep, and cooking more at home.  But I love that I get down and dirty playing with my kids and that I take most of my time doing it instead of having them be bystanders to my others tasks.  Sure this will shift as my kids grow older but for now I can live with the toys on the floor while I give my kids my undivided attention.  It's fun being a part of their journey.
