Family




Today we spent the day with family. It was good, but do you ever have these days when you just want to be home. No extra smile, no chit chat. I was just tired. It was pleasant, but all day a part of me was jsut screaming to go home. I love my life, but sometimes I just want a break from all the demands of being me. Especially with little ones, I think it's common to feel like someone is always needing and taking something from you. Today I'm just tired. Not cranky or crabby, just tired and wishing to go off for a long drive with my husband and just be Renae, no strings attached. Do any of you wish for those days?


P.S. Kristi, apparently I need an invite to access your blog.


P.P.S. Sarah Canney, this blog probably frustrates you because there is no little one needing you constantly right now. I am sorry. I can't comprehend how difficult this is for you. But my heart aches for you and I will try to hold my own chlidren tighter and smile more often and laugh at their beauty.

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know that your post didn't frustrate me at all. It may seem baffling, but the Lord has given me a real peace about my situation. I don't always have it all together, but most of the time I am strong in Him. I am indeed enjoying my alone time while I can! With the bit of experience I've had looking after nieces and nephews, I know how tiring it is - and that's just from one day! Then I can go home and go to bed with no kids to wake me up in the morning. I can only imagine what it's like to be a mom. My time will come soon enough.

Great to be back in the blogging world.
