Now that it's FINALLY Thursday I had time to sit back and reflect on what we accomplished this week. 1) My team leader is now a director... yay! The race is over, and I can finally fully throw myself back into photography! 2) I spent quality time with three friends and discipled another. 3) We showed the house twice and thankfully as of yesterday at midnight, it is officially off the market for a few months! (Don't get too excited... I'm sorry to say that we did not sell it.) Mommy just needed a break, and since we are heading into the "dead" time of year real estate-wise, we decided that letting the listing expire was the right thing to do.
I realized that I need to slow down and take more time for myself and more planned mommy-time with my little buddy. It is so easy to fill every space in the week with a "meeting" with someone that next thing you know all you're doing is going, going, going.... never stopping to "smell the roses" or enjoy watching your 1 1/2 year old play with his "bop bop" or his "ba" (translation "hammer" and "ball") or sit and read about the "ta-tor" (tractor) in his truck book.
Today I am making the conscious decision to pull out my planner and "pencil in" mommy-time and free time for me so I have the energy to be a better mommy, wife and photographer. So if you're one of my friends who gets a "no" this week when you ask about getting together, just know that I still love you. In fact, I'll be a more lovable friend if I don't pack my week so tight! So get with me early if you want me to pencil you in! :)
Thankful it's Thursday!

Here's a cute photo of my boys from my first attempt at little man's 18 month shoot.
Good for you...Enjoy that Mommy time- it is so hard to ignore the other to-do's, but this is precious time.
ReplyDeleteYou've challenged me to make Zoey time on of the to-do's on my list!
