living life all the way ....

that's how i would describe both of my kids. all the time. every day. they truly don't know how to live life half way. you know, only go so far. be lazy, let the time pass away, just breathe and r.e.l.a.x. nah, that's boring

it's a foreign concept to them.

'i'm bored, what *else* can i do, now?'

sometimes it's tiring (hey, i'm an energetic kid too!) but most of the time it's exhilerating. they teach me so much. they show me that life is meant to be lived. to stretch and grow, and find the things that make you tick. it's summer afterall, and the schedule is completely turned around, and inside out, you know? there is nothing on the agenda most days (save for the camps, and activities they asked to be part of this summer) and they are eager to drink it all in.
lately, i haven't had the vip and vigor that i have always had with them. and when they demand that i help them 'find something to do' it's annoying, to be honest. i am the one that's made the plans, and scheduled the "scheduled" activities for them. do i really need to be the one that entertains them too?

yes. yes, i do. i know.

:-)

relating to that paradigm shift, and the changes that we've been feeling a little bit this year, i think i'm just worn out a smidge. tired ... i'm feeling like i can zip it up a notch or thirty though, and perhaps that will help me begin to live life the way you're supposed to according to the wee redheads in my life.

all the way. ;)
