Slow Down!

Okay so some advice to all you moms out there. SLOW DOWN! Guess what? the dishes, laundry and toys will still find there way back to the sink, and floor tomorrow. Our kids are only small for a short while. I just started to realize this when my middle child turned 3. I feel like all day I rush, rush, rush to get everything accomplished all the while yelling at my kids to sit down, calm down, stop talking etc... Then when they are finally in bed, fast asleep I go to kiss their heads one more time and realize that I should have slowed down, I should have taken more time to listen to their thoughts, played with them, or even taught them something. We always hear the older generation say, "They grow up so fast," I think I may be catching onto what they're saying. So my goal is to once a day (because let's be realistic here) slow down and actually communicate with my children.
If you want to make a goal with me that would be great, I need a little motivation.
