I'm feeling very sentimental this Friday for some reason. These past couple of weeks have felt very long for these Baton Rouge Mangum's. However, we've had a bit of a re-focusing session that took place recently that has sort of revamped our family. It feels good. Really good! Brent and I are really social both individually and collectively. We love spending time with friends and family whom we also consider great friends. However, we began to notice that we were spending too much time doing "other" stuff and not enough time building ourselves and our family. I won't get into the specifics here, but although we're still really busy, we're busy in different ways that have deeper meaning behind them. I'm feeling stronger these days physically and spiritually and feel as though I'm dedicating enough time to myself, our children, and my husband. Maybe it's the nice weather that's helping motivate me, but whatever it is I'm grateful.

Happy weekend ahead. I'll report on our happenings next week some time. It should be somewhat entertaining though because Brent will be at home for the first time with both kids overnight on Sunday while I'm away for a work thing. Good luck babe!

Robin, this is excellent. I can appreciate this. I love those peaceful peaks that I sometimes reach, giving a sense of fulfillment. They break up the challenges in life and give me a moment to catch my breath before climbing the next hill.

Very insightful! We find ourselves in the same situation much of the time. Thanks for sharing so I can be reminded to take time to love the little things in life, and make sure I make the memories with my children that need to be made right now.
