Lifes Roads

Where is your “road” taking you?

Are you just shuffling thru your life? Head down plowing thru each day without really stopping to take a look around and enjoy it?

I know how easy it is to get into a “rut” and before you know it you have lost a whole year.


If you’re a working mom you definitely know what I mean. How much is too much, and who are you really doing it all for, if you don’t have the time, patience, or energy to enjoy your time with your family then why do it?


Why? Right? Do you even remember?

Also what about time for yourself? The only people that make time for themselves, is normally people without children. There is a freedom there that they have no idea about, until it’s gone.

At least first time moms have the excuse that they are new at it. But what about the moms who have multiple kids. You should know better. About how short life is.

No one ever really takes this serious. Until tragedy strikes. Then you are filled with regrets. So why not just change things now?

Make more time for family, yourself, and your spouse.


I envy the stay at home moms. Cause they have all the free time in the world to do things for and with their kids. I'm not saying its easier ,but working moms have to juggle working an 8 hour job and then come home and do a full days worth of mommy things in half the time. Thats not even counting the single working moms. There never seems to be enough time. It becomes one big blur and in that process somewhere you spend less and less quality time with your children and/or your spouse.


Next thing you know it and grandma is spending more time with your kid. That in its self is not bad. However, when your so busy with work things that you can’t make it to a school function or your kid is the last one being picked up at daycare/school, that should be a warning sign that something has got to change.
No one starts out like this or wants their life to be like this, it just happens.

Not to mention where in all this is your “quiet time” with your spouse?

Statistics say that more than half of marriages end in divorce, are due to having children. Cause you go from lots of “couple” time to no time alone together. Seriously most men (if not all) need some “quiet time” alone with their spouse. I’m not saying that kids aren’t important, just that remember what it was like before the kids. That will always be important, so don’t lose sight of it.

I know we learn by our mistakes, but at what cost? Why not just relax a little, stop over doing it, stress less about the little things and just enjoy life.

WHY NOT?
