"Me" Time

In these last few days I have struggled with frustration and guilt. I feel so guilty for not being able to take care of my family because of my foot! I am so anxious for it to feel better, and to get my stitches out!!! I am so frustrated that I can't do things! 

So, I have decided just to relax! I am giving myself permission to just be still! It was so awesome just to be able to sit on the sofa, listen to my ipod, and read! I could even watch Food Network if I wanted! It made me realize that sometimes, it's ok to just have time for myself. (And that maybe I should take time for myself more often!) 

I also forgot how nice it is to be taken care of! I'm always the one who takes care of other people, so I kind of love being spoiled by my husband! Today he pulled our mattress into the living room for the nigh so I don't have so far to go if I have to get up for a drink, or to go to the bathroom (an unfortunate side effect of the diabetes). And tonight for supper he made some delicious clam chowder from scratch! Then when he left to go hang out with his brothers tonight, he made sure I was comfy, and my foot was propped up. He brought me a book, and and some water, and made sure my tylenol, computer, and the remote were within arms reach. I felt like such a princess! :) 

So perhaps this injury is a good thing! It's reminded me to take some time for myself.
