This past week I was once again thinking about goals...resolutions...and what I really want to accomplish this year. I don't know if it was the fact that I've been super busy around here lately and haven't been posting on my blog much...or if I've realized that my life is completely unbalanced at the moment...but I needed to be reminded of the life I was trying to create.
It happened last Sunday actually as I was sitting in Relief Society. The Stake Relief Society presidency was visiting and one of the councillors shared a message that really stuck with me. She too was talking about "Balance" and encouraged us to do the important things first. She demonstrated how if we do those things read our scriptures...say our prayers...basically do those things that strengthen us...then we will also have time to do the everyday things and also the fun things too! I really needed to hear that message.
I've been mentally stressing about Ryker's school next year. Not the fact that he'll actually be going to kindergarten...although I did have a moment where I contemplated what would happen if I just never sent him and he got to stay at home with me for the next 12 years...haha! But I've just been stressing about making sure he's in the right spot for him. It's such a big decision to make.
And then every minute of my time has been spent working on Maguire's room. It needs to get done. Projects...they seem to consume me.
And so I was thinking about how unbalanced my life was right now...in this moment.
I've made some changes. Let's hope this week gets better.

As moms, it's hard to balance everything, all.the.time.
I hope you will find the balance you need. :)
So what I needed to read! Time to start putting some serious effort into the things that give strength before my world turns a bit more chaotic with #3.
I was inspired by the Stake R.S. message as well. I've always believed it, but I needed that reminder to re-focus. I've taken their challenge and it works! There really does feel like more time in the day to fit in those extra fun things, when you take care of the important stuff FIRST!
