Learning

J and I had a really good talk Sunday night, that doesn't happen often with 2 littles all over the place, we are usually doing good to get 5 words in to each other all day until they are sleeping soundly! It made me remember lots of things and why we have made the decisions we have.

I went away from the talk feeling wonderful and promising myself to make some changes. So, I am learning the word NO! That is a hard one for me. I want to work because God has blessed me beyond measure with a thriving business and a gift for it to share with others, but He has also blessed me with three of the most precious "boys" to share my time with as well. I am lucky, lucky that I get the best of both worlds. I stay home and I work from home. Its not always easy, but I must remember that I can not always monogram or sell something in a day's notice. My boys MUST come 1st. They need me now and they might not one day!

I am learning to value my friendships more and learning to let go of some too. I have some AMAZING friends that are like family and we have also been blessed with AMAZING families. You don't get to chose your family, but I am trying to always remember that they are the ones who will be there. They have to be :)

So, I am working on my list. My list of what is important and what is not. I like perfection and that is not always a good thing. Its okay that Jack's brithday thank you notes were 6 (okay 8 ) weeks late because I was playing with him at the science center and did not make it a priority, or that I did not monogram today because I decided to clean house or work on birthday party stuff. And playing on pinterest 30 minutes at night to clear my head is really not going to set me back that much. And who cares if I don't shower every morning before 8am or that I have on sweat pants when J gets home at 6pm.

I am thankful for so many things in my life and J and I have been so richly blessed. I want to soak it all in!
