Am I the only one?
I started back to work last week after a couple months off due to several surgeries. I was absolutely excited to get back into the groove of things (truth be had I love my Job!) But I now find myself totally stressed out and grouchy. I do 12 hours shifts, four on and four off, two days and two nights, when I am on days off I find myself, cleaning like a mad women, doing 12 loads of laundry, organizing, paying bills, working on my husbands book work, grocery shopping, baking, cooking and the list really does go on. I am realising that I am not the person I want to be on my days off. I want to let myself not be so stressed out if there are crumbs on the carpet, or if the husband and kids didn't do the cleaning to my standards. I want to enjoy my family more, play some games, read to Peyton, catch up on the four days I missed. My goal is to be less selfish and really enjoy life! I am sure the laundry will not run away and the crumbs on the floor will not take up a life of their own. I am extremely blessed to have a healthy beautiful family, a roof over our head and a job I truly enjoy.

I love to see people striving to live intentionally!
It's just sooooo hard...so don't get discouraged. Cut yourself a little slack - us women, we're always so hard on ourselves (I don't think anybody is expecting as much from us as we are from ourselves.)
