For those of you who don't know me, I am on a mission to deplete the family debt and build a better financial future for our family. The American Dream right? The problem is I am in so many places, doing so many things and have accomplished so much, it is time to get back in touch with me.
It hit me like a ton of bricks that I have not been the best I can be simply because I have not been organized. All the above I want to tackle and do it well, but without a plan I wont be successful. BUT balance is needed. I need to fit in the play time with friends and my Pooter. Those things fill my cup and give me purpose. They are my "why". Some people don't need to socialize. But socializing fills my cup. There are plenty of times where I like to hibernate but I am finding more and more that the household suffers if I don't get my cup filled. The animals, Poot and my husband all suffer if I don't get my cup filled.
So I have made a point over the last few weeks to make sure I get out of the house every weekend and never miss an event for Kyle. This past weekend was trunk or treat on Friday. I got to meet some of the parents which was spectacular! Saturday was our end of year Hop party and Sunday was an hour at a jewelry party for a dear friend. It was good. Gave me enough fuel to start the work week. And Kyle did very well because we were busy.
At Saturdays party some friends showed up with some little ones. Kyle had a blast with them and us adults loved to watch them. That was the very first time I let him run around the yard without my eye on him every single second. He was running back and forth speaking in the foreign tongues that they do. I thought Kyle was talking about the cat as he was running back and forth all excited. Every so often I would yell and say "leave the cat alone!" Us adults were sitting around the camp fire and let the kids run wild in the yard. What kid shouldn't run wild in their own yard. So I found out the next day what all the kid craze was about...
they had Halloween crafts spread out on the glider chair (which we did earlier in the day) on the porch. They wanted to do crafts and they were trying to get me to come to help them. Lol.... ooops. I'm a bad mom lol. Oh well. I got my 15 minutes at the fire and they still had a grand time. Totally filled my cup!
