Mom Duties

I planned to spend this evening alone doing some serious processing in my paper journal.

My daughter wants very much for me to play on the Wii with her.

I really don't want to do it.
I want to go into my bedroom and shut the door and be alone.

But I so seldom actually play with her.
And she deserves my attention.

She can't have the entire evening -- but it will do us both good for me to spend an hour in her bedroom playing with her.

You're one step ahead of me, my dear. I have taken care of my mom duties for the evening, and now I'm dithering around not knowing what to do with myself ... though I KNOW there's something that's waiting for me to figure it out.

May the Wii be fun for you, and may you also have plenty of time to spend on you tonight.
