I've had the same moment, but I wasn't able to say it as eloquently as she has....
therefore I'm quoting her.
I hope she doesn't mind... but it was totally worth repeating.
"I abandoned all the "things" I normally do in a day so I could put all my attention on them. And do you know what? they loved it and so did I. We read books together, watched movies, folded laundry together, made snacks, colored, ... (son) was the best behaved he has EVER been. He didn't get in trouble for anything. He cuddled with me during the movies. He was nice to (his sister)... I just loved spending so much "time" with my kids like this. I realized that I spend/waste a lot of time doing things that I have thought were necessary when in reality, their not. My house was never so clean then these 3 days because we cleaned together. I never realized just how much work I do without my kids only to realize that while I'm cleaning they are making a huge mess somewhere else, so my work never seems done. Plus, not being on the computer was really hard for me. I must be glued to this sucker, because I really did miss it, but I realize that I am on this thing WAY. TOO. MUCH! and way more than I thought."

Oh you cute thing! I had to read a couple of times just to make sure that is what I said. Ha! Ha! Never thought I'd be quoted. :o)

Thank you for sharing the "ah-ha" moment. I really, really need to work on the same thing.
