I guess you could say I am new to this, though there are dozens of paper journals laying around that I started and then got too busy and never finished. One while I was pregnant, one from the first year, one for when we went on trips that never seemed to get written in after the first day... Why is it? It is only a few minutes, yet carving out that time seems insurmountable. This is why I am here....
I tell my boys (2 of them, right now 6 and 7 3/4) all the time, just give me 30 seconds - the 6 yo has begun counting down because he tells me it is NEVER 30 seconds! So I am going to do it here and give myself 30 seconds a day to jot down what is in my head... Kid related, work related, PTA related, anything - SOMETHING! Sometimes, I may even give 30 seconds twice a day... we'll see.
I hope this is interesting and that one day down the road the boys will read it and understand why I always asked for those 30 seconds! It is amazing what we can accomplish in 30 seconds....
