So Much Going On - Ready for a break…

April 13, 2008 · Filed Under Kids 

I need a vacation.  No work just mindless activities with no schedule.  My daily regimen is taking a toll.  I have so much going on with work, kids and my online business it is starting to wear me down some.  I don’t think I have a type A personality but one is starting to creep in to the point of being cynical at times.

The bad thing about having so many different things going on it makes it hard to do one thing exceptionally well.  I put being a father to my children first in my daily priorities, but other task are interfering with this largest priority in my life.  It is not a bad thing that I am busting my ass to make things better for them in the future, but at what expense?

I will wake up one morning and realize that the kids have a life of their own that does not include me in their daily plans.  I am already experiencing that to some extent with my oldest children.  Benjamin and Rebecca are now young adults and living their life on their terms, which I expected they would, while the younger three are still very reliant on me for everything and because of this reliance I am forced to be away from them during the best times of the day with them.

I have planned a vacation with the whole gang after the youngest ones are out of school for the summer.  Nothing really extravagant but it will be 5 days with with the whole gang having no schedule and no place to be at a certain time.   Hopefully we can enjoy some uninterrupted family time with the whole gang present.
