Sit Down Mommy.

This blog post is nothing more than a reminder for me that I need to sit down more. When I sit down for more than a minute, my gaggle usually come sit down with me and these are the moments that I cherish. I love when I'm sitting on the floor and all four girls are within 12 inches of me. God delivered me a stomach bug yesterday to help remind me of this. I make these ridiculous to do lists every week & while I know that laundry does have to happen, bathrooms need to be disinfected, meals cooked, I need to be better about the importance I place on these things. I like checking things off my list but maybe I'm putting the wrong things on there. No, I shouldn't have to put, "Read Bible stories before nap" on my list or "Help Harper with colors" but I want to be intentional about spending time with them just as I am with keeping the house clean, running errands or making phone calls. I absolutely do not want to look back at this season & think, I didn't spend enough time with them, just being with them.
