Time with my daughter

So when I had my son, it was just him and I all the time.  I loved it.  I also loved getting out of the house talking to other people and when he was little it didnt' happen very often.  I then had my daughter and it was difficult to figure out how to take care of two kinds instead of one. 

Looking back at the last four years I have realized I didn't spend the quality time with my daughter like I did my son.  I wonder if that is why it is soo much easier to discipline her than him.  I find it hard to find things that I have in common with her and not really sure what to do when we have mommy and daughter time.

Sometimes it breaks my heart to think of what she has missed out on but I can't change the past.  I do try to do things her and I but I have gotten so used to coming and going all day every day that I never think of just her and I. 

I will plan a day to paint her nails because she loves that (I don't) and I do it just for her.  But then that is the end.  I often fill like ok well I did that so she should be good now.  We spend time together and I never really think, well geez 10 mins?  You can't spend more time with her than that?

As my kids have gotten older I am realizing I have trouble making time for each of them one on one.  I think will have to be my next project.  I think even if it's just once a month and more than 10 mins, I will succeed.  We shall see how this goes.

Wow, March has def gone by with a blur!  The month of March always starts off crazy because both my kids have their birthdays at the beginning and 3 days apart.   This year I had to plan two friend parties and one family party so it was crazy to say the least.

Once that gets over then we move right into spring break for the kids.  Once spring break is over, kids go back to school, I go back to my work schedule and then the kids start their testing at school.  With the testing I had to get up early each morning and make sure Brant had a good breakfast to keep him going.

This month we also have the grand opening at the bakery so that is filling my whole week with more than 3 times the hours I normally work. 

We also started some projects on our house and we have had beautiful weather so we have been outside riding bikes and doing yard work.

I'm not sure what else I can cram into this month but right now all I can say is, I'm glad it's almost April!  hehe
