I was making dinner the other night and I wasn't enjoying it at all. I was in a hurry, trying to help my son with his homework and get him fed before he had to leave for youth group.
You know when I resent homemaking? When I don't have "margin" in my life. When I decide that other good things are more important than homemaking. My family deserves better than that! As a matter of fact, so do I.
I don't want to "just get through" another day. I want to enjoy it! Whether I'm making dinner, vacuuming or cleaning toilets.When I'm not "too busy" I enjoy all those things...yes I can even enjoy cleaning toilets (because I do it Flylady's way). So how do we create margin?
Be very intentional.
Choose GREAT things, not good things.
i think homemaking can be like any other job sometimes. there are times you couldn't be happier to do it and other times you're over it. :)
ReplyDeleteFlyLady helped me because I learned to clean more efficiently and in a more pleasant way (cleaning things that are clean is nicer than cleaning things that are nasty because it was put off too long!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Cam & Mary.
ReplyDeleteI love being a homemaker, but hate the cleaning part of it. Right now my house is a disaster. The more I look at it, the more I resent it at the moment. I probably should head over to Fly Lady and have her help me out. I definitely need to create more margin in my life.
ReplyDeleteYou should really try out Flylady's system. I love the parts of it I've chosen to do!!! I used to feel so overwhelmed all the time....now I only feel overwhelmed every now and then.
