Not now - there's no time
it seems to me, one of few gifts to our kids, family, friends, strangers is our time spent with them or for them.
I say this word "Later" so often.... Every time there is a reason for it.
Another favourite is "Not now!"
I hear myself say these ones " There's no time"....True, sometimes I get to hear this too!
Let's go to science museum - there's no time today.
Read to me - just a sec!
Hug me -
Hug me.
Hugs take time...Time takes time... Kids take time... :)

Marika, you are so right with this "timing" problem. Its only when they grow up, we feel ( or at least, I feel) how much time is lost and will never come back to you and to them. The difference is that we feel it already, but kids will realise it later.........
the one who is right is you, T.!
i feel this loss of precious time especially when looking at old kids' pictures.
Of course, i'm trying to work on myself, saying "there is season for everything under the sky". Trying to enjoy every second of time i have with the kids...(that is, when i did drop everything and spend that Time :) )
