{still}
Wow.
A lot has changed since my last post.
A lot.
Our family has been in the process of...well, lets call it an update, revamp, rejuvenation. We've gone into sort of a hibernation. And we're loving it. All of us!
We've taken this season in our life to be still. And if you know anything about me - then you know that is HARD for me. To be honest, I think I took it harder than the kids when we decided no soccer this season, I mean really, that's my social time too!
We've said no.
Turned things down.
Backed out.
And hunkered down.
It has been SO healthy for our family!
I have learned (for the first time) that saying no is actually OK. People won't hate me or think I'm horrible for not being able to do something... I'm liking this!
The kids are thriving.
We're not racing home from school, shoving a snack in their face and racing off to {3} practices all over town, to have dinner on the road, home at 8, homework, then bed...
They're calm. Relaxed.
They love "rock time"- time as a family vegging in front of the tv.
They crave that time.
It's their down time.
Why did we not go into hibernation a long time ago?!
Hmmm, the {calm} before the {storm}.
I am so ready for the {storm}!!
