Mom's make sacrifices. Mom's put everyone's needs first over there own and we wouldn't have it any other way. Small things like serving up their kids meals first or keeping your child's clothes and shoe supply well stocked while you are still wearing things from 1999.
This year I've decided this is the year of me. I am taking care of me and making time for me.
For 8 years now its been all about the kids and the hubby and that's the way its supposed to be. Let me clarify, I am in no way complaining about my family, I love my family more than life itself and I would die for any one of them but in recent years I have slowly started to loose me. I feel like I've given, given and given more and in the process I'm loosing myself. Some days its all about going through the motions and just trying to make it to bedtime so I too can crash in bed.
Goodness, I will do simple things like wash my face before I go to bed or bigger things like enjoy a long weekend away with my husband. This year I will do whatever I think is needed in order for me to clear my mind and be a better wife and mom.
Other things on my list:
More working out
More pedicures
More blogging
More lunch dates with the Mr.
More massages
More sitting back and listening to music
More shutting the bathroom door after dinner and enjoying a bubble bath
Did I mention more working out ???
More praying over my family
More house cleaning done by a professional
More shopping so I am not wearing the same 3 outfits
Looking forward to starting to feel like "me" again.
Enjoy your family~
