I’ve spent the day cleaning up messes, kissing boo boos, breaking up fights, teaching children how we shouldn’t be selfish and share your toys, dishes, laundry, sweeping, mopping, getting dinner ready…………. (deep breath in)
Evening time rolls around. Okay Traci, exhale! Now there’s time for you!
I put our youngest to bed for the night and you can now find me sprawled out, half alive on comfy couch. “When did I get so old?” I think to myself.
~~~~~~
When my husband and I were dating, we spent countless hours talking, laughing, playing games into the wee hours of the morning, never batting an eye at the need for some sleep (or at least never admitting it, right?)!
Now, many times, when my husband wants to spend time with me, what is my response? “I’m just too tired, Babe.”
What am I telling him when I say that, over and over? “You don’t matter to me right now.”

Thanks for visiting!

what a great post! My husband always said he would rather be eating P&J sandwich then a five star meal if it means that I will have energy for him, it did put things in perceptive for me!
We still eat good food but I work less hard at it!
