The Return

Well I have returned! I was supposed to update my blog with my travel adventures to South Carolina in February, but that plan didn’t work out the way I thought it would. The trip was wonderful, but finding time to post about it was basically non-existent. Of course my intentions were to post during our stay in SC but the atmosphere was so captivating that all I wanted to do was snap pictures and take in the sights with my husband. I know you guys can understand that, right? Anyway, upon our return home everything seemed to be in whirlwind status. Hence my question: Does having a life exist when you have a family?

Have you ever decided to just let your children do things on their own? No matter what the task is at hand? Just to help them to feel independent, and to assure yourself that you are not always meddling or taking over their ideas? Well I have, and it appears that I may have to start monitoring some things instead of just leaving these kids totally alone with these ideas or projects they have.

I mean really, they call me to untwist the mangled medal in the end anyway. And if I am monitoring things I can just jump in when grey areas start to appear and correct things early on. This way I will not run into almost chaotic situations like the one I endured on 2/1/14.
