I confess...
I have spent way too many hours confined to my office staring into the computer over the last couple of weeks.
I confess...
As a result I'm feeling guilty and lazy. I don't like either.
I confess...
I need to do a better job of finding balance. Balancing my husband, my children, my "work", my house, my
4-legged babies, my volunteering, my physical self and my blog. My scale is so tilted to one side right now, I should be ashamed...I am.
I confess...
Today is the last day of spring break and although my girls have had a great time we have only spent 3 days together. Today while Honey heads to one beach with her friends {accepting the fact that she would rather be with them than me was tough, but I so get it and would never deprive her of that important part of being a teenager} I will be going to another beach with Peanut and one of my besties and her daughters.
I confess...
I will have my toes in the water, ass in the sand all day. I will watch my beautiful daughter play in the surf and sand and will be full of happiness witnessing it. I will think if her sister spending the day with her friends, making forever memories, and will be thrilled for her. I will laugh with my friend and enjoy being part of the moment. I will love every minute of tomorrow because.... there will be years for cleaning and cooking for children grow up while you're not looking!
I confess...
I don't want to miss another minute because I'm at a loss for words when I see that they have gone from this...
To this!
There's plenty of confessing going on today, head on over to Glamazon or Mamarazzi and link up.

Ohh my how sweet are your two girls?! It's sad seeing your kids grow up in so many different ways...that means you grow up too....but it's all so happy at the same time!
Honestly! They are so dang beautiful!
I spent the day with just Grant. It was nice to have my attention focused on one, but I know what you mean about being a bit sad about the others who were off doing their own thing...
It sucks when you realize your kids are growing up or have grown up!! Hugs boo!
We texted about this just a few hours ago. That's why I stepped away from the computer today. Blogger sucks me in and I feel horrible for not spending more time with Emma. I need to find a better balance too. Maybe I only get on after she goes to bed or is napping? I don't know but what I do know is that she is growing up too quickly as it is.
Great confessions and gorgeous pics!
Really great confessions this week. I confess that a lot of your reasons are reasons why I decided not to do confessions this week. These usually generate the most emails & I just can't keep up this week.
Toes in the water, ass in the sand... isn't that from a Zac Brown song?? And I feel you on the tilted scales. I have that same issue balancing all those issues. Kids, husband, job, dogs, running. So much!! Happy Friday.
Your girls are sweet. They do grow up SO fast! I am in the same boat as you and your eldest...so into her friends. She still holds my hand in public though so I'm hanging on to that for as long as it continues.
Happy Friday!
Awww! Your girls are adorable young ladies..and that first photo, just melts your heart! <3
Smooches!
Jealous of your good weather and beach access. Have a good time making those memories!
I need to find balance as well. I seem to always be running around catching up on something!
I've only been to the beach once. Can't wait to go back. I would love to be sitting in the sand with my hunny this weekend! That would great.
Your girls are beautiful!
I confess that I'm jealous you'll have your toes in the water and ass in the sand today.
I think enjoying "being part of the moment" is something most of us need to do more often. Enjoy your day!
Enjoy your time at the beach. I am so jealous! THe weather here is beautiful but no beaches.
Your girls have grown into beautiful young ladies. I know how they can be little one day and so grown up the next and it saddens me.
Happy Friday!
your girl are just beautiful!
Enjoy your time at the beach! I am so jealous...NM has lots of beach but no water. I so miss Cali. Girl, you've got a lot on your plate! I'm impress you can do it all. Happy weekend!
I think we all struggle with this balance you speak of. I go back and forth...sucked into blogging to neglecting it and avoiding it like the plague (which I've been doing lately). Somewhere, somehow there must be a balance.
Time does go by too quickly. Enjoy your day with Peanut...and the beach...w/ your toes in the water and ass in the sand. Sounds nice.
Enjoy your Friday! *muah*
If you find the secret to true balance, please share! I swear one thing is always falling off the wayside when I try.
Your girls' are beautiful! Am so not ready for the time when my two little girls will be entering into their teens, I know it's just around the corner, as I can't believe how fast time has gone by already and the years seem to be going faster anymore.
I have been extremely lazy lately (I like to call it a funk). I don't know why? The weather has been nice then all of a sudden turns scary. That might be a reason?
I love that you always share pictures. You're girls are beautiful!
i hope you find balance. it's hard the life can just pass SOOOOO fast.
There is no such thing as balance. I have found that switching my focus around from day to day has helped.
Some days the internet only gets an hour or two of my time.
I can't even image what it will be like when mine start school and i have another thing that requires my time.
Have a great weekend!
It makes me sick a little when I realize how much my kids have grown, and how quickly.
I can hardly even stand it.
Beautiful confessions today!
This sentence seemed to be my life for a long time...and now that part is almost over. So quickly. :(
Anyway: They days they go by so slowly...but the years, they fly. :( UGH!
Oh the beach ... I admit you've made me envious and cry - at the same time! Your daughters are beautiful by the way!
More than a little jealous of the beach time. But I'm just jealous of where you live.
And your daughters are beautiful! They really do grow up fast?!? Mine is starting kindergarten next year and that blows my mind.
I desperately need to find balance too. If you discover some sort of super secret method for doing it all...would you let me in on it?
P.S. Your girls are beautiful, but you already knew that...:)
Yep, they do grow up in the blink of an eye!!!
Gorgeous pictures of the girls.
Have a wonderful time at the beach!!
Your girls are gorgeous!
they do grow up so fast. J posted a new FB pic the other day and Big Daddy was on the phone telling her she was 15 not 30...she had spent the night with a girlfriend and they did each other's makeup...OMG...she looked beautiful but she did not look 15 scared the crap outta us.
