Well, here is my justification (in case you were wondering-seriously-), so we have the living room big screen TV wired in a way that we can plug in our laptops and watch/listen to music from them. (This is a way cool feature when you go to a Sunday morning on-line church service)
I was notice today however that when I was listening to music and cleaning the house some really boring pictures were coming up on my screen saver (in 50+inch big screen features none-the-less). I thought to myself "This simply can not do". So, when I had some free time I TOOK the time to input our families Pixar faves into a photo folder so that tomorrow when the screen saver comes on instead of a boring seascape (I might find pretty) a gigantic Sully, Buzz, or Remi the Rat will pop up on the screen! (Yes, this kid crazed mom is excited about it too, and lives for the screen saver picture shuffle on her laptop screen)
It is in these little moments of taking the time to think about my kids and go the extra mile for them, that I feel most like one WHOLE mom. Taking a moment to walk by the TV and noticing a boring picture, and thinking to myself "How fun would it be if the kids were mesmerized by... ohh ohh what could the next picture be!!?? Buzz? Woody?!!"
If God is in the details, than I would suggest to any parent to take the time to look over the details in your children's lives as well. Often, as a mother and wife, I put 120% detail into serving my husband and seemingly in comparison forget ENTIRELY about the minute details that my children ALSO crave.
I think that this Pixar project really opened my eyes and created in me more of a desire to be the best most whole mom possible through serving my kids-down to the tiniest detail. After all-these are the future lawyers, doctors, politicians, and business leaders f America... right?!
