Mother's Day has come and gone - a whole day to revel in the joy that is my little family. Where they celebrated me and loved on me and spoiled me. I am amazed by the love my husband has for me and the lengths he goes to show it. My heart hurts as I see the anguish he puts himself through trying to find and do the perfect thing to show me just how much he cares.
My heart hurts at all the times that he has done just that only to be met with my disappointment rather than my appreciation. It's time to work on being a better me...a better mom....a better wife. I'm starting up the Proverbs 31 Woman bible study with Kayse and her Facebook group, and hopefully also with my mom and sisters. I'm going to make sure J has the time he needs to take care of himself (i.e. work out and actually get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep). I'm going to take care of my own body - so Owen can have the example of healthy parents - who both enjoy food and exercise and are able to care for him and themselves.
They need me to stop saying it's not my job - to get off my booty and start being that woman that God called me to be - as far from it as I may be starting - I know, with God's help, I'll get there!
Love you J and O!
