[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reality is that, for most people, most of the time, life is a slog.  Can you try to put aside some more time to do a few things with your kids that you enjoy?  That has helped me to feel a bit better about life.  Play a game with them that they like, plan to go to a park as a family on a weekend.  Just something to look forward to and get satisfaction from other than dragging them home, homework, and bed.[/quote]

Yes, I can.  Did that this Saturday, actually.  Woke up on Saturday morning, looked at my messy house and said, fuck it.  Got my boys dressed, dragged them to our neighborhood playground, and played NERF gun wars and did 20+ rotations up the jungle gym ladder and down the slide.  It was awesome.  Also found a cool Smithsonian book someone bought my older boy that has fun science-y things to do like make rock candy lollipops and Baked Alaska.  So I'm trying and need to be more intentional about doing that kind of stuff more.

So today though I'm sitting here at work thinking how awesome it would be to pick my older kid up from school at 1:45 and do these things with the afternoon instead of sitting in meetings, answering emails, fighting bureaucracy.  You know?  [/quote]
