Ha! I have gotten sooo behind in my Days of changing... :-) BUT I have been doing stuff! Like on Day 4, I organized our entire room! Isn't that awesome?! It looked horrible and Ash walked in after work completely amazed! It's amazing what an organized room will do for you and your mood. I feel like I am able to breath again and relax in our room. So yay! Today I will be organizing the kid's closets... this will be a big one! I am wanting to organize their toys and put away half the toys. I rotate toys so it's time for a new rotation!
I have also decided to NOT get on the computer while the kids are awake any more. It takes away from my time with them. As it is, I often feel like I am overwhelmed and have WAY too much to do in such LITTLE time. So I need to take control of that! If I feel so overwhelmed, how is it that I find 10 minutes during breakfast to check FB? I need to take that 10 minutes and talk to my kids or clean the kitchen. So no more computer while they are awake. This will be a very hard but very important change! (That was for Day 5)
Then today I have decided to focus more on Jesus and his Birth this Christmas season. We took Cy to see Santa and while we had a BLAST and we will continue to do that, I started thinking to myself last night: its sooo easy to get excited about Santa because we SEE him, we FEEL him, we HEAR him. But then when I talk to Cy about Jesus and how Jesus' birthday is in 2 weeks, he doesn't get excited. I do that to him. I get him so excited to talk to Santa that when it's time to talk to the ONE person who was sent to this earth to take away my SIN, we can't SEE him, we can't physically FEEL him or HEAR him... it's all faith-based. And I need to share and teach Cy that FAITH is even more important than the things we CAN see, hear, and feel. Next year we will be doing the Christmas Angel - I will explain more later. But I want to get out of Santa World and into Jesus' Birth because that is truly what the Christmas Day is ALL about! Though I will still have a blast with everything else ;-) Just more focus towards the true reason that Christians celebrate Christmas Day! More to come about how I am getting Cy excited about Jesus' Birthday! :-)
Happy Monday everyone!
To finish out real quick -I feel pressed to say a few things. Friends hurt us. Friends stab us. Some friends forget us, some friends always want want want but never give. I am hurt at times towards my friends and this year I have learned sooooo much about friendship and the meaning of a true friend. But while it is so easy to point fingers at those who have hurt me this year, I would love to take this moment to address those that I have hurt this year. If I have ignored you, if I have always taken taken taken without giving, if I have hurt you in any way - I am truly, from the bottom of my heart, so so so so so sorry! Truly! I genuinely want and TRY to be the best friend that I can be and just the thought of me hurting ANYONE just kills me. So if I have hurt you, please know it is NOT intentional and I hope that you will let me know so I can fix that. I want to only show love and kindness to my friends.
