Ms. Rob's Ramblings
With our busy lives, we very rarely get 17 uninterrupted hours together. So, I hate to waste it. On the other hand, I should probably prepare for the inevitable disappointment when my teenagers are not nearly as excited about the time together that I am. If I am going to be the one to ruin our good time, this is usually the way. I have visions of a perfect little family, having a joyful time for some reason instead of me dragging them into family fun. So, I'm writing this here in hopes that I can commit to doing both. I am going to commit to creating the memories with my family while also being totally cool when they fight me on it. :)
