New Year's Resolution

I haven't decided on the rest of my resolutions yet (I always give myself the first two weeks of January to formulate them), but the one I had decided on FOR SURE was:  Play with kids more.  I feel like that I get so busy trying to keep the house running, working, and discipling the girls so they don't end up like Lindsey Lohan, that sometimes the simple undivided act of playing goes by the wayside.  For men it is different, they focus usually 100% on "kid time" when they have kid time....for women, you are usually throwing a load of wash in, starting dinner, answering phone calls, AND trying to have kid time....hence my feeling I don't get to "play" enough with my kids.   This goes hand in hand with my other fear which is that "daddy is the fun one."  The ironic part is that I have been all excited about my renewed dedication to the simple pleasure of playing with my kids, and I went into their room and suggested we arrange their dollhouse furniture.  Sounded like a good idea, and I was ready for action...but it turned out that they didn't really want me playing with them, I was "cramping" their style :-)!!!  I guess this is what happens when you have two kids close together in age, they are each others best friend and complete focus.  Mommy was getting in the way with her big oversized hands in their kid size dollhouse!!!  Signed, ME {lv}
