finally...I'm in too
Well yes is this if fabulous ...I have procrastinated at starting because (as I have said to some) I don't feel I have my best me now,but being the best "Mom"...However, at saying that I am attempting to do little Me things here and there without being negligent to my girls. This includes being a better wife because that has been on the back burner for a few years and I have known that it is one of the most important relationships in my life. So thanks Meliss, at making me look at myself a little harder...I haven't really wanted to and it's easier sometimes to focus my attention on others. So ..I am trying to eat a little better, take my vitamins almost daily, read a bit hear and there...oh I also gave up my stay at home mom, brain dead activity of watching General Hospital...what a waste of time but for awhile it was all I felt I could absorb ha ha...OK I have ignored Kinsey's crying for the past 20 minutes...guess she is not going back to sleep ...I love all of you inspirational ladies

well well little TJ..so glad you are on and engaged. I know it takes a bit to jump in but I am glad we all are in and so honest in our thoughts and posts. You know I ve been wanting to get on and write something else but I felt kinda the same way about the best me...so I think hopefully we will feel comfortable jumping on and writing anytime even if it isn't a completely best me moment...I guess it would be the best me at that moment.
I think What you said about being a better wife is the hardest out of all relationships because it seems to me woith our kids and parents it is an unconditional love- with our husbands it can be more difficult. I know that I struggle with that one too becasue it is harder, it takes much sacrifice at times and sometimes I feel like I am the only one giving- I also feel like our needs are so different and yet when each of them are fulfilled there is this incredible closeness and tender love within the relationship. I know I can be pretty stuborn and I am trying to give without expectations. At church one weekend something hit me about relationships. The pastor talked about loving the other person exactly the way you would want to be loved- being the example of love, selflessness, giving. I find that hard at times becasue I think, "what about me?" But yet when i have been able to do it I think it makes a huge difference. Okay, I am rambling...I love you tiff and loved reading your writing..I could picture the scene at your house and felt close to you guys. I wish I loved closer to all of you. Okay- I am missing story time but I had to say hello.
xoxox
me again- I wash brushing my teeth and I told KAde I'd be right back to sing songs BUt I was thinking that what I was trying to say above is try not too be too hard on yourself. You are an incredible woman: friend, mother, wife, daughter, teacher- even when you are not trying at all. Yo are beloved as all of these things and that speaks volumes of your best me. Good night.
Yeah Tiff, I am so happy you are on. This is not a thoughtful comment... that will come later after I finish report cards...but for now, yeah!!!
