My friend got me thinking

I was on facebook and a friend of mine Holly was up threatening to text another mutual friend. I responded and told her I'm always up this early she can text me if she's lonely. So we text for a good hour in a half. She is a stay at home mom, with 2 very young little ones in fact one is only 3 weeks old. She said there are times she feels bad that she is short with her older son at times and other things. I explained to her that being a mom period is a lot of work it's about balancing kids, housework, being a wife, and herself. I remember it well, luckily she has a fantastic husband that does help her with the kids and the house. That right there will contribute to a happy family :).  We used to work together and each week we have to turn a lesson plan in to our boss. I told her do something like that have a notebook of fun ideas she can do with the kids and another one for fun ideas for her and the hubby. But she also has to take care of herself!! So I'm going to do my part to help her and will go see her in a few days, can't wait.

Anyway I told her attitude is huge in being a SAHM. It's a very important job to say the least, the rewards are priceless!!! The boys are young now but they won't always be, so enjoy them. Have fun with cooking, cleaning, and flirting with the husband. Become the Goddess of her home!! She of course laughs at me and things I'm a nut. Yes I am a nut

It's all true though! Seriously life is a huge canvas and we are the painter, what do we want to paint on it? Live life, have fun, learn, grow, fall down dust yourself off and begin again.

I need to make my lesson plan for my week personally, I find it help keep me focused better.  Speaking of better...I've been doing better with the fatigue issue. I'm trying really hard to eat right so I can keep my body working well. I've cut out most dairy, I still have coffee creamer and use butter. I'm now going to try to limit coffee and how much creamer I use. I normally have 2 cups a day but want to go to 1 then maybe switch to herbal tea.

I have a ton today today, wish I could stay on the computer long but duty calls. Do something fun today!! Be Blessed
