For so long I've had a knee-jerk reaction to my days. Someone jumps and I respond. My mom has a need and we answer it (not to sound too angelic, but we have been busy). The kids require help and here I go again. It's been a never-ending cycle of seeing to everyone's requirements and forgetting to take care of myself. Again, not trying to sound like the great responder, but my brain has gotten used to being on a high alert mode. Time to shift that.
Was wondering if it'd be beneficial to me if there was one day a week set aside for playing---mental rest and relaxation. Likely a no-brainer, and something I just need to DO. So easy to get side-tracked with chores and things that need tending to.
Mothers of many are so often put up on pedestals (not been accused of this lately!), and folks will look at them in wonder trying to figure out how they 'do it'. How to manage all of those balls that need juggling and those plates that are spinning constantly. Well, most of mine have hit the floor and rather than clean up the mess, I'm rather in a mood to walk around it.
I'm just going to be in a restful frame of mind for a couple of days. Try to get into my own head again and re-acquaint myself with me. To somebody this will make sense.
See you soon! :)
