And how maybe our first meeting should be you coming to Missouri with your lists of my closets to clean and crossing off until your heart is content! You could bring your kids and I could totally make them feel loved while you crossed off lists. See? Win win!jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157183621665541265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624818836766881020.post-23550672474403021522011-07-29T22:01:33.209-07:002011-07-29T22:01:33.209-07:00Wow reading your post made me tired!

Every grandparent I know loves having grandkids more than they did kids because they've finally realized how fleeting it all is, and they invest their time simply enjoying it all the more. ...

Even while I'm nursing I find myself anxious to get up and get things done! Especially when you are stuck in one spot and all there is to do is evaluate what isn't being done around you! As if feeding a newborn isn't doing enough!! Good luck! I hope this weekend goes the way you would like and by Sunday you are holding your new baby! Love you!Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667779550544559245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624818836766881020.post-52181159232755241132011-07-29T15:31:31.201-07:002011-07-29T15:31:31.201-07:00This is so true.

Then when I do enjoy the moment and don't "do". I feel guilty for that also. I guess it's a life long quest to figure out when to just enjoy and when to get things done!I am so excited you are having a baby. It really does help to have something to stop and focus on. I have to say I have done that more with our fourth guy. More than I did with all of our others, because I think I know more how quickly it goes. So excited for you guys!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832457543792319344noreply@blogger.com
