Me time!

Well, today marks the fifth day my hubby has been out on the road.  Since we try to keep our limit without daddy to five days, you can imagine I needed some "me" time.  This morning when I woke up I almost had forgotten that I had scheduled someone last week to come and watch the kiddos for a couple of hours today.  "Almost" being the key word here!  We have had a pretty uneventful week up until yesterday.  The boys decided to declare yesterday "whine and cry day".  It was lots of fun! Ms. Tara arrived this morning at 9:30 am with a smile on her face.  I was already feeling better!  The boys LOVE Ms. Tara.  She is the kind of girl that gets down on the floor and plays with them.  Anyway, I decided to take some "me" time instead of running errands like I usually do.  I went running, got a pedicure, and had lunch by myself at the park.  It was LOVELY!!!  I realize now more than ever that I need to take time more often to just stop.  I always seem to fill up my days with the kids, the hubby, the computer, the TV, and I don't take much time to just listen.  I might be able to hear God a little better if life wasn't so crazy all of the time.  Hello, I have heard sermon after sermon about this, but haven't applied it very much.  I guess now is a good time to start!
