I have been very far behind in keeping up with my blogs. There are so many things to talk about...but a realization hit me in the last couple of days...that surgery has taught me to slow down, enjoy life more and relaxing and taking time to care for myself.
I have just realized that taking time for myself was so very important. Today I tried to keep up with my "normal" routine (pre surgery days LOL). Everyone keeps telling me I deserve it and I am truly beginning to believe it. It's strange though because I don't know if it would be seen as selfish?
Andrew and I have been taking time out each week to be together without the children. Sometimes its only an hour, sometimes its longer...but it's nice! And I think it's helped destress us both.
I have been taking more time to just enjoy the children...Today Tyler and Zac and I made homemade playdough...even colored it which they thought was amazing! (I had food coloring on my hands so I couldn't take pics :( ).
I have lots of other things to blog about....here and on my other blog, but I don't know when I will get around to it and then it will be old news, but I still want to get it up there so when i read back through our year...I realize that yes, we have overcome obstacles and it's made us stronger parents, individuals, as a couple and as a family.
I guess I am feeling harmony...who ever knew that taking time for yourself and trying to relax a little could make such a big difference in someone's life...Yes I was forced to learn to do this and now I know what I was missing - and why it is important to take that time both solitary and with my spouse.
Ok, Sappy section over -
