I was glancing through some blogs today and happened upon a post called "How to Miss a Childhood" on a blog called "Hands Free Mama". At first I thought this blog was written by a tree-hugger mom, someone who cloth diapers, grinds her own wheat and makes her children's clothing. Not that these things are bad... They are just things that I am not and don't do. Upon reading further, however, I discovered that this blog is about being INVOLVED. Involved with our children and present in their lives. This post, "How to Miss a Childhood", really hit home with me. In my mind, I don't think that I spend TOO much time on my phone, my computer, on other external distractions in my life. After reading this post, though, I realized that I do. Those times that I don't feel like I am missing out on things, I really am. Although I am grateful for technology and it is a time saver, it is a time SUCKER. Facebook sucks me in, my phone sucks me in.
I have decided to take a long, hard look at things. To take stock of my life and what I need to do/change. Read this post. It is very eye opening.
