This last week I was forced into my "priorities" goal. And, it was so much fun! During our camping trip, I had to set aside all of the things that split me in two and only focus on having fun with my children. We schooled ... and made it the first priority of the day so we could go have fun. We hiked (on a trail that I sincerely hope Jon NEVER bikes on again ... it was terrifying thinking of him on a bike on that trail), we rode bikes (about 4 miles ... my children rock!), we made great food in the dutch ovens (my first), and we told each other stories.
I have the hardest time breaking away from the things that distract me when I am at home. So, I'm grateful Jon pushed the camping trip on me. Personally, I was more geared toward going to fun places like Jump
Street (a trampoline place), or the Zoo, or the Science Center. Because we went into nature, we weren't at home with all of the distractions. It was so blissfully wonderful. Now I just need to figure out how to say "no" to the distractions at home now that we are back.
So, all of my fantastic mother-friends (and father-friends):
How do you eliminate distractions (especially the voices in your head telling you that you should be doing something else) to spend time with your children?
