I read this article last week called "The Trouble with Motherhood" and it brought me to tears. It made me realize I need to make some changes. So I sat down and just sort of wrote out how I was feeling and what I thought would help. Basically it involved sitting with my hubby and making a more detailed schedule of our lives. We're at a phase of life where if it's not "scheduled" in, it won't happen! So now I have 7 a.m. - 8 a.m. scheduled for me before Scott goes out the door at 8. Scott does breakfast and Bible with the kids and I get to have a little time.
This week I went walking on the beach, just me and God. I played tennis with a friend. I even went to a women's fellowship Saturday night, even though I didn't want to and I was tired. My husband actually prayed for me going out the door! Isn't that silly, but so sweet? I ended up staying until 10:30 pm and laughing so hard I was crying. I feel better, I feel more alive, I feel more creative and joyful. I think for us moms it's the little things. Small choices can make such huge difference.
