[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m total type A and like to get up very early on Sunday mornings to get stuff done.  Today, while everyone else was still sleeping, my 8 year old woke up and was unusually chatty.  He wanted to talk about Legos, show me how to design a dune buggy, talk about migration patterns and a book her just finished.  I spent two hours with him and loved it because it’s getting harder and harder to spend time with him.

But nothing got done.  Now everyone is awake (two little ones) and Sunday activities are in full swing.  What I’d planned to do in the early hours will not get done this week.

It’s weird but I feel both good and bad about it.  I know being totally present for him is more important and more enjoyable but I still feel lazy for not getting stuff done.  [/quote]

What did you have to get done?

OP here.  Wash the car (we’re in LA) and go to the grocery store.  I’m going to drive a dirty car this week and ordered the groceries for delivery.  [/quote]

Go to the car wash and order groceries in the future. Use the 2 hours each eeek you save for me time or to spend with your kids. Worth the money.[/quote]
