Love Yourself

Maybe you've noticed I haven't been blogging as much as usual? Probably not... but hey you deserve an explanation anyway because you are kind enough to stop by. Thank you!

Anyway, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately... thinking that I've kind of lost myself a little. It has happened slowly, one child at a time, one diaper at a time. Maybe this happens to a lot of moms? You get so wrapped up in caring for these sweet little children that you forget about yourself. Not that it's always a bad thing.

However, lately I've come to a point where it's not good anymore. I don't love myself as much as I should. I feel like it's rubbing off on those I care about most. So, what happens next?

I'm putting myself in time-out for a little while. I am still going to care for those sweeties of course! But, I am also going to care for me. I am going to re-think how I am spending my time, money, thoughts, etc. I am going to figure out what I really want and need and how to take care of me and my family the best I can in the 24 hours I am given each day.

So, until I get it all sorted out, I may not blog as much as I used to. Don't feel bad. I'll be back now and then. Hopefully, when I am out of time-out I'll be better than ever before and a more consistent blogger. Please just be patient with me and give me a little time to sort it all out. Fair enough? What do you do to take care of yourself?

  2. Thanks, Alyson! I need the encouragement since I feel a little selfish. But, I think that is what I need to do to be a better wife, mother, and person.

  3. Assignment for the week: get yourself some mushrooms. And maybe take W and yourself for a walk on a warm(er) day.
