I've been doing a lot of reflection and looking at myself. In doing so I realized that with all of the craziness I have I have not taken any time to take care of me. I don't normally consider "Me Time" a priority. However there are a few things that I should do for myself in order to effectively take care of my family. So here are a few of the things I am doing to take care of me.
*I joined a bible study at a local church. They are doing Beth Moores Breaking Free. I have done several of her studies. I like that they keep me getting past my surface Bible reading. She really gets deep. They have child care and the kids had a blast.
*Making more time for quiet time with God.
*Organizing my home. I am not good at organizing things. But right now I feel like my life and my thoughts are chaotic. I think that if I could get a hold of these things and get them organized it would benefit me and my family.
*I'm going to start eating healthier and we are going to start juicing.
*I think I may start The Love Dare again. I started it before but gave it up as life took over. It is a great book and I think it would benefit both me and my husband.
*I am going to spend some time with some blogs that are not solely focused on homeschooling. Here are a few great ones that I will be reading. I will just go from there to improve my list. If you have any suggestions pleas suggest away.
Heart For Him
Run The Earth, Watch The Sky
Love Actually
Econobusters
*I am going to start developing relationships with other women and mothers. This is not a strength for me but I feel that it is important.
That's all I have for now. What things do you do for you?

I don't do much for myself and lately its leaving me a little resentful. One thing I have always wanted to do is learn to sew with my sewing machine (had it 5 years now). I finally signed up for a class...it starts Thursday. I am so excited. I also really need to work on finding mommy friends....all my friends now don't currently have kids so I feel kinda like the odd one out. I really wish that I had figured out that I needed me time a little sooner because as of June I will have a new nugget and I think it will only be harder to have that.
