Wild Waves
This is difficult part about being a mom and when I feel like a terrible one. I took the boys to Wild Waves for 7 hours. Of course I don't wear a bathing suit, so I sat around read a book seeking out shade. Fed them, watched them, laughed with them -- and thought about what I could be doing at home. I was resentful at first, knowing I would be gone the entire day, my day off. The resentful part (not outwardly) is the bit that I am ashamed of. I know these days are fleeting and I should hold onto every second. The "selfish" me, just wants to be in the studio.

Perfectly understanable, Kim. Don't feel badly about those thoughts. You did the right thng for the boy and that's all that really matters in the end.
You do need art days for yourself, that's correct. And I'm sure you'll be able to have them whenever your other jobs aren't in the way of them.
I take portable crafts with me when life forces me out of the happy heaven of my studio. People think I'm weird for being engrossed in making soething rather than taking to them but hey, it's not my fault the craft is more interesting, right?! ;-}
sometimes we don't want to be where we are...it's okay.
you did take some quality photos...good memories.
Oh yes, we owe our boys a visit to WW too... last summer we put it off until it was too late.
Thanks guys. It just always make me feel like a loser. Herself, I did think about having some craft thing ... after I got there....I thought about the cooler of water ... after we got there ;0 but the boys had a blast so it was allll worth it ;)
i feel your pain sista!
my kids want me to take them
school clothes shopping. and won't let up. so we are leaving
in a half hour. and all i can think of is how i don't want to
take them! but i will and we will
have fun and then i will be glad
Sometimes I wish I had kids so that I could go to the waterpark! :)
It's OKAY
You're HUMAN !!
And ... You are a Good Mom.
"I UNDERSTAND"
Don't beat yourself up to much.
Kids are so wonderfully resilient and full of grace.
I've had to say I'm Sorry many times to my kids and they always, always, love and forgive me.
I'm sure yours are the same!
I know exactly what you mean Kim...I think like this all the time...and then I feel so bad...I try to take it slow...and appreciate the moment..but I'm always thinking ART...STUDIO...ART...ETC.....I'm trying to enjoy every little thing...it ain't easy!
