Spirit of Holidays

Have you ever heard someone say. "I need to clean my house, we have company coming"? What, you don't deserve to live in a clean house?. Not saying how you should keep house but you should have it the way you enjoy it. If my house gets messy, my head get messy. I function much better when things are picked up. I love to cook but I can not cook in a dirty kitchen. So many times we let our homes get that way because we are busy but the fact of the matter is we need to take that as a sign. Call in sick. Take a mental health day. Do whatever you need to do. Your head health is a major part of not only your life but your family's. Think about it for a minute. I am learning to just sit down for 5 minutes and not move. That sounds silly but when I am running 100 miles an hour I feel overwhelmed. By just sitting there and taking a few deep breaths I can figure things out. Please don't wait for company to come. It's your life. So put those red shoes on and play catch up. I also make my kids account for certain things and they need to feel needed anyway. We have created this team (family) so let everyone play their position. We do not have to be super woman. We don't.
