Do you always feel like you’ve got to be doing something?
And in those moments, do forget that simply
being with your kids,
being physically present,
as mentally tuned-in as possible,
and just loving them
IS doing something;
even if last night’s dishes are still in the sink where they’ll remain for as long as you decide to ignore them;
even if the washer, dryer, and hampers are all full, while a pile of wrinkling, unfolded clothes continue to decorate the kitchen table;
even if
the house is a mess,
