Finding Balance: I AM My Priority

Tomorrow, my husband gets to make a trip. His dad will drive him a couple hours away to get an MRI and CT scan done.

I will be staying home.

Why, you ask?

Well it’s simple. This particular hospital visit I know my father in law can handle getting my husband there. It’s a walk in, check in, get things done visit.

I will be better off getting things done at home. Schooling, cleaning, cooking, errands. Everything that I can’t get done while gone.

I’ve been gone a lot lately, because my husbands injury has been complicated. Surgeries, visits, prescription runs….. unlimited phone calls- you name it, it’s happening. And I want to always be there, we just both know I can’t be.

So tomorrow… tomorrow will be for me.

I am going to take some ‘me time’ and have a nice long bath. I am going to jam music while I clean (sorry kids, you get to listen to moms jams…). I am going to do the things for myself I haven’t been capable of doing since all this started.

Yes, I have my work-a-rounds. The activities and breaks I do, keep me in the best shape I can be mentally, for now.

But tomorrow.

I am going to finally set the towel down.

Not to give in…..but to take a break. My mind and body are ready for a break. A slow paced, do nothing, morning type of break.

My ‘me time’ will be my priority.
