So, i recently started a part-time job. It wasnt a financial requirment or something i HAD to do, it was simply a choice i made for myself & i dont regret it one little bit. God has given me this wonderful window of opportunity to have some time for myself, to get out of the rut i was stuck in and meet some new people. Plus, the clothing discount doesnt hurt either :)
Truth is, i dont get my self-worth from being a stay at home mom. Its actually quite the battle to stay at home and raise the kids and NOT work. So after much discussion & prayer we knew it would be good for me to go back to work. Im very part-time, only 10-15 hours per week, but i do love it and it was EXACTLY what i needed..thank you jesus!
Im still doing Total She, and running the house, making meals, changing bums, dealing with social workers, etc etc etc...do you see where this is going??
IM BURNING OUT!
I know, i did this to myself, but i think i have the solution. Im going to give up Total She. I have one more party in June and then im going to walk away from it. It feels like one more thing i have to do, and i just dont have the energy. There are so many more things in my life to focus on and goals to reach for, that i need to just take a deep breath and focus on other things.
A little update on the wee ones....
Tyler:
Has two teeth!
Started eating rice cereal this week and loves it!
Is starting to sit in the bumbo more and more (but he is too chubby so his legs always get stuck!)
Is starting to "blow bubbles" and "babble"
Has the biggest, most gorgeous smile EVER :)
Mataiya:
Has 2 teeth and another one on the way
loves to sing to her "babies"
Is starting to say more words
Sits on a booster at the table now (*tear*)
Does NOT like bread
prefers her mommy & daddy over everyone
Rylen:
Is so pumped for pre-school this fall
loves his new 3's room at church
Still isnt sleeping well at night
Is talking SO much!!
Is totally convinced he is "buzz lightyear"
is such a mamas boy and i love it :)
What a blessing it is to raise these little ones. Even when the days are tough and it seems this "raising & teaching" season is never going to end, at the end of the day i wouldnt want to be anywhere else!
