Ok, so obviously it's not Christmas right now. However, today I learned something that really hit home for me. Lately, maybe in last couple months or so I just have felt so overwhelmed with everything in my life. It seems like I can never catch up with house work. No matter how hard I try I just can't get there. There's always dirty dishes, dishwasher is full of clean dishes, laundry needs to be washed or folded, kids rooms are mess...and the list goes on. For some reason I can't justify having fun with the kids if I have "work" to do. No crafts or walks or anything creative because I've got unfinished business to do on my house or what not. Which is so sad, because I have TONS of ideas that I'd love to do with the kids. Then when I feel guilty I let them outside to play and that's about as far as I go.
HOWEVER, today I learned that people miss their season to prosper because of the circumstances that surrounds them. WOW! I thought maybe this is my season to raise my small children while they are always home with me. Teaching them and having fun with them while they are so little and like sponges that soak everything up. Instead here I am so upset and overwhelmed about my unorganized house and chores that are a mile high, I'm missing the opportunity to spend time and teach my children. I would be so sad to look back and say I WISH I invested a little more time in their home with mommy time. I'm so happy that I learned this early in the game. I know I won't change overnight and I'll probably still get overwhelmed, but at least I know what is most important. No, I won't let my house go all crazy dirty, but I also won't put off the opportunity to do things with my children because I got laundry or dishes to do. My kids are far more important than chores. One day I'll have a super clean and organize house, but for now I'll do what I can and enjoy THIS SEASON that I have with my children at home because before I know it, this season will be over.
