There's always tomorrow...Right?

A confessions of sorts.

I am procrastinator.
I procrastinate when... it's time to clean my house, do laundry, need to be somewhere, when i need to work on sunday school, or when i need to tell my boys about periods or sex.

 just so you know my husband did tell the dudes about sex.
 it went like this... mommies and daddies have seeds. when the seeds meet a baby starts to form.
What the heck!!! Shoot me now. this whole convo started because my youngest wanted to know where PUPPIES came from. we have further expanded this topic since then.

when i figured out that my oldest "thought" he knew what a period was, i knew i had to give him the real low down. (Because you know it doesn't just fall out. O.M.Gee!!! the things kids learn on a school yard)

I had the conversation  with him in the car...it was my strategic timing. there was no way i was going to tell him the real deal and look at his face. it gave him my well thought out speech and end it with this

now remember son you do not have sex until you are married.

 it is God's Law!

and while we are on the subject there is no reason to kiss a girl before then either.

 he told me he was seriously disturbed by the whole thing and that he could of gone his whole life with out taking part in this conversation, and that i needed to buy him a new video game so that he could recover.

this all made me so sad. i didn't put my big girl pants and tell him sooner. i HATE that he learned on the school yard.

my goal for the rest of forever is to stop procrastinating, to be in the present and raise my children deliberately. i often feel like i am floating a long in this life. it isn't fair to them or me, and further more we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

how about you are you in the present? especially when it comes to raising you little ones.

i encourage you today to do something special with your child(ren) spouse or that someone special. i am not always the wife i should be. that is another post.

i think i am going to take mine for an icee or maybe hot chocolate (it's sorta chilly today Praise Jesus) and ask them if there is anything else they would like to know about anything and just lay it all out on the table.
