I have learned...oh, who am I kidding? I AM learning that interruptions are exactly what Gremlin needs from me. Next year, when he starts Kindergarten I know I'll wish he was around to interrupt me. These little lessons are great to hear. What a great post! I have learned…oh, who am I kidding? I AM learning that interruptions are exactly what Gremlin needs from me.

And it always amazes me that, when forced to change my plans because of an "interruption", really how easy it is to just let go of whatever it is that had me running around in the first place!

I actually feel sorry for a lot of the parents I encounter who are running from one of their kids events to the next. It is a terrific gift to expect the interruptions and take a break from the rat race. Excellent post, Kathy.

I guess it's better then my other addiction which is mocha frappucinos. Yep, I got a front loader a few months ago and I’m now addicted to laundry.

And, if you're like I am right now, the front loader WILL ALSO be the thing that keeps you sidetracked for awhile. I have not stopped staring at mine yet. Oddly enough, I am actually a little perterbed that my family is not churning out enough laundry for me to warrant washing a load yet today. How silly is that? Once you get it, you will love it!

I call it humility, and it reins in any perfectionistic tendencies that may remain in my psyche after 16 years of pregnancies and babies. But, good Lord, woman - you don't have a front-loader yet?!
