MYSELF

I'm following behind my friend Angel and taking an idea from her blog. She has come up with a "Word for the Year" for herself. I'm doing the same thing.
My word is MYSELF. I know it may sound selfish, but I've decided that I need to start putting myself first sometimes. Not to the point where my family is neglected, but in the past years, I have put them first more than myself and I've suffered in the end. I need to remind myself that I am important, too. That I am special and deserve some of the good things I do for others. I can't continue to take care of everyone else if I don't start taking care of myself, too. With a new baby on the very close horizon, I think that's more important now than ever. My husband and boys can start doing more on their own...hear that boys!!! I need to stop saying "yes" to every request without really thinking, "Do I really want to do this or am I just saying it because I don't want anyone upset with me?"
So having said that, I'm off to fix dinner and then sit down and put my feet up! The laundry will keep till tomorrow, and if you knew the complications I was going through with the end of this pregnancy, you'd tell me to sit down, too! (Trust me, it's not pleasant, and that's all I'll say!)
