Too busy


"Mom," began my seven-year old daughter,


"I tried to tell you about this dream the other day but you were too busy and you didn't have time to listen to me."


Can I just tell you that nothing can hurt more than that! When did I stop viewing my children as the beautiful gifts they are and start placing them on my never-ending to-do list? I realize that I have to make sure my daughter knows I am the one person she can depend on, anytime, no matter what. If I'm not available now when she's 7, will she come to me at 17?


So, here's where you'd see a list of things that I should do in order to change. But, I don't have time; I'm too busy listening to my girl. We've got nails to paint.
