A few months ago I had so MUCH time to play “pretend” with Wyatt…We would spend all day imagining what it would be like to be an Indian.
We would make up silly Indian names for each other like Bunny butt or Lion roar, we’d sing songs, dance around Pretend fires and even go on hunting trips if we wanted too.
We would longue around the house wearing nothing but feathers in our hair and paint on our faces…
OH…
Now my days consist of waking up early going to one job then the next, answering work emails, dealing with employees who just don't seem to get it, counting money over and over until my head explodes, all the while my house is a MESS the dishes are piled high in the sink, laundry that is never getting done, the computer desk is stacked high with bills that I just don't want to look at let alone pay…
I JUST want my time back!!!
The time where playing “pretend” was more important then answering those stupid work emails and where there was so much time to clean, cook or do whatever I felt like. even though I never took advantage of that.
Oh I miss that sense of freedom…
Cant I just become an instant billionaire? Or at least something with no strings attached, no working involved, where I could spend all day being an Indian if I wanted too with out ever worrying about anything else but that time Wyatt and I would share.
Sigh
only IF that was possible now.

I am a stay at home mom but we homeschool. i feel like go days without taking the time to just play with my babies. we get too busy with school and clean up and forget to just have fun
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures. I must confess that I hate playing. I mean I.Hate.Playing. Even when I was a kid I didn't like it. I'm a book reading, movie-watching, nature-walking kind of gal. But I definitely sympathize with wishing you'd appreciated what you had when you had it...that's me all the time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Boy!!!!!!! Love his outfit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your son looks like a cherub dressed up like an Indian.
ReplyDeleteSorry my friend. I can hear your pain in this post. I work outside the home full time. But here's what I try to remember...it's HOW I spend the time with my boys, not WHEN or how many hours I spend with them. I love them up every chance I get!
ReplyDeleteyes the HOW is way important and I know I need to remember that... I just need to get past the fact that my time is now taken up in more places then the home and I know that I must deal with that I just don't want too. I want to be able to go back to simpler times. doesn't everybody?
ReplyDeleteLove those pictures.
