A Mom's Journey

Why I am doing this...

I'm actually not sure why I am starting a blog.   I only recently learned about them. Then a friend of mine started one.  Today she commented to me that she was more comfortable with her blog than on a discussion board we both belong to.  Since, it had been rambling in my head for awhile, I think her comments lured me into starting. 

I had a very tough year last year and I think I let most of my life slide.  I feel like it is all a jumble right now and perhaps blogging may help me get back on task.  What do I want out of my life?   I think I want to find joy again.  I want to find joy in my children and not feel stressed when I'm not getting everything else done and the children want to have fun with me.   I want to find joy in my relationship with my husband.  I want us to have fun again both as a couple and a family. 

Today, my daughter was jumping, for no reason, she just likes to jump.  I was so proud of my self when I stopped myself from chastising her and began to jump with her.  She was so happy and so was I.  I think I need to do things like this more often.

how sweet

I understand COMPLETELY about getting busy with what you CONSIDER to be important stuff while your little child is just begging for your attention, a few moments of your time, for you to read them a book, play a game with them or maybe they just want a hug...I have a 6 yo, ds, who is EXACTLY like that and I regret to say that I'm VERY GUILTY of NOT taking the time, and for less worthy excuses than you have believe me!!!! I don't take college courses or help run my husband's business...so my hats off to you!! And just in case no one's told you lately...YOU"RE DOING A GREAT JOB!!!!
