Apr. 28, 2008 - I Should Be...
-
Planning the rest of the week's schoolwork for my dd
-
Cleaning the "hot-spots" in my house
-
Packing away winter clothes
-
Preparing the meal plan for our vacation (in 2 wks)
-
Exercising
But I'm not... Today was such a busy "outside the house day" with my daughter that I feel I sort of deserve the down time. We participate in a Co-Op through the month and today was one of those days. I love it so much - and it's wonderful for my daughter - but it's exhausting!
I realized that I haven't been the best 100% mommy as of late. Maybe a little harsh on myself, but with all of the changes and commotion in the family, I have really felt pulled down. Normally my daughter goes to Co-Op, Field Trips, Gymnastics, and two youth groups at church - but lately we have barely made it to Gymnastics and one youth group. I can't use life changes as an excuse anymore though because we are missing out on too much... I should be able to put things behind me and know God will take care of them. I know our lives are full but I have to make sure that my focus remains on what will be lasting in the long run - my family - and not the worry about the small stuff.
So this is me - admitting my mistakes and knowing I have to make alterations on my energies and the focus of my heart.
