habitually.
about everything.
I'm constantly wondering if I'm forever damaging my children. In the extremes too- "Will Cameron never go to college because we didn't do a craft this week?" "Is Megan going to be obese as an adult because I don't stop her enough from digging in the garbage?"
Most of the time I can laugh at myself, but the last few months have been a major crossroads for me. With something that really only I can figure out what is best for the future, and whichever way I go, it will drastically affect our lives.
The message in church today was about giving of ourselves, with our full heart. It made me really think about everything, and the actions and things I've done over the last couple of months.
So, at what point is do your values, and self-worth, overtake giving of yourself? When do you stop giving of yourself? When it's a one way road, and nothing is returned, when do you stop? And when you are disrespected, and not valued as a human being, does that overrun the urge to put yourself out there, and do "what's right?" What is right, anyways? What I had thought was right was not at all what I thought it was. I know, I make no sense.
All I know is at the core of it all, I want my children to know that they have honest, caring people in their lives around them, that show them how to value themselves, and respect themselves, and expect the same from others. Period.
In other, much more comical news, my not always so bright husband bid on a fish tank at Cam's fall festival, and won it. Because I didn't really think I cleaned enough after people and animals around here. Now I get to clean fish poop.
Speaking of poop, our daughter dropped a load in the living room tonight. yes. Potty training rocks. She stared at it and screamed "EEWWWWWW" and then when back to chewing on her candy necklace in all her nekked glory. Whoever always said that girls were easier than boys LIED.
Oh, and Megan has some booo-tiful stripes on her bedroom walls. it looks awesome! And NO peeps, I have no crappy camera! So pics will have to wait!
