Certainly not the person I once was or long to be. I've lost myself in the daily grind of working. I've been working nights for what seems like forever. All I'm able to do is work and sleep. I long for the days when I was able to be creative and truly serve my family. You know...like cook and keep the laundry up. It has always been important to us to eat family meals around the dining table several times a week. We are down to eating together on Sundays.
I used to quilt. I've been talking about making everyone stockings for years but, no time.
I used to rubber stamp. I would love to make our Christmas cards like I once did. No time.
I used to cook home made, from scratch meals. Now I can't even seem to get a grocery list together. Last week I carried our grocery money around the whole week. Never did go shopping. No time.
There is so much I long to do this holiday season. I love to create memories. I want to make cut out cookies and decorate them all fancy. I want to make gifts of food and deliver them with a smile and a hug to important people in our lives.
The desire of my heart is to just be a wife and mom. I'm tired of the corporate life where the all mighty dollar reigns supreme. The cut throat atmosphere where people have no regard for others. I'm just tired.
