I sit at the computer trying to finish some design work.
My eyes begin to close.
I know I should be in bed, but the silence is captivation me to continue.
For I know in 5 short hours the house will once be in chaos.
It will be loud and there will be no silence to concentrate.
So I sit, stretching my mind.
Taping my eyes open, hoping to finish.
This year is the year I promised to take better care of myself.
That means going to bed at a decent time, no matter what.
I come first so I can be the best wife and mom.
I need to be alert, awake to best in the Lords word.
To really absorb it in the wee hours of crazy in my home.
So I write this in short. Less than 5 minutes.
Because I’m going to cuddle with my 3 year old who won’t stay alseep.
Because it’s the little things.
The little moments that make it Life. THAT’s why I need to be well rested and awake.
I’m linking up with The Gypsy Mama.

I just snuck out of my won’t-stay-asleep little girl’s bed after falling asleep there awhile my self…now I am {awake}
you are right to take serious your commitment to take care of yourself, I need to do this too!
It’s so hard. I am really being better about it this year. I’m trying to start a new habit.
Yes – the little moments that make it life are the reason to keep awake. I hope that you do find ways to take care of yourself so that you can be awake to all of the beautiful small moments. Stopping by from Lisa-Jo’s today! I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Yes, it’s hard when we let things get blurry between spending time with our family and doing things to support our family. I think it’s so challenging and many moms struggle. I am taking it one day at a time. Thanks again!
The everyday little pieces of life can be so beautiful, can’t they? Winter can be tough for me (breathing problems), but I want so much not to miss any of it in the fog of sleepiness.
Yes, they are so awesome. Especially if i just sit with my kids it just changes their attitudes and behavior. But winter is a hard time for us too. I finally got everyone well from the last 6 weeks of all sorts of stuff so I’m hoping for a new fresh healthy year.
