Break time
Why is it that we feel like we’re failing if we want to take a break from our children? I think this is a culture fed lie that we have come to believe.
If we take care of ourselves we will be more productive and more happy mothers and wives.
I just had a small break last night to go watch a film I’ve been wanting to see (it didn’t hurt that it had Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale in it — h u b b a h u b b a) and today I feel recharged. Sure, I miss my little-man of course but you know what? I am able to be a more sane mother for him and for my husband.
I won’t be able to explain what happened yesterday to the full extent for fear of getting ‘dooced’ but lets just say it’s been a hard six months and an even harder last three weeks.
Let me say one other thing — Karli, girl you rock don’t be so hard on yourself.
I’ve noticed these things are passed down generationally. Have you heard of the the generational curses? Well, lets break some of these ‘curses’ for our children’s sake. Allowing ourselves a break will empower our little ones to take guilt free breaks for themselves when they become mothers, and in turn their daughters. . . get the drift. Let’s begin some generational blessings to our children.
Needless to say — I’m feeling really healthy these days and it’s crazy because there’s less light and I’m such a creature of light. My need for light and beautiful days is directly connected with mental well-being and yet now. It’s like I’m okay all the time.
God is so good.
Update: I handed in my two week notice today — I had a ‘last straw’ moment and my husband (God bless him) gave the go ahead to get on out of Dodge. So guess what I’ll be doing for the next few weeks? Hunting.
Lord what have I done?
