realized this... when i wake up in the morning i need to ask the girls
what they want to do with the day rather than thinking about what i
need to accomplish....now i will be able to accomplish "this or that"
as they will often desire to play with dolls, do a puzzle, watch a
movie, ride scooters, or play a computer game just by themselves in
which case i can work on the things i would like to accomplish....BUT
realizing that not everyday will i get that done and it is 'learning
all the time' to put them first and play, explore, read, scoot, watch
or dig *with* them if and when they desire that!!

i know....duh, but i have had the tendency to "get my stuff done
first" and then....blah blah blah.

yet another little leaf turned over in this freedom learning journey.

Isn't it great when that lightbulb goes off in our heads? :-) You're
on your way. It's a good feeling. :-)
