Today I am taking a big deep breath. Last night I successfully hosted a Relief Society b'day dinner for about 40 women…we were celebrating the 168th year of our church's women's organization. Dinner, get-to-know you games and a program.
I still have a garage full of trek lost and found and am fielding e-mails, calls, receipts, etc. from trek. The post-trek business has been busier than I had anticipated.
I feel like today is the first deep breath that I've been able to take in weeks. And my house looks like a hurricane blew through…papers, mails, a disastrous kitchen, and tons of laundry.
And although trek stuff will continue, it will be lighter. And my Relief Society calling needs my attention and time, but I feel like it is manageable.
I'm excited to start working on some house projects, cleaning and organizing, and planning summer adventures. Excited to focus on my kids and husband. I need to potty train Samuel and train Maggie too (behavioral!).
This last few months has been an intense time of service and growth. I have loved diving head-first into big projects that felt worthwhile and life-changing. I have had rich experiences and it has brought me tremendous joy. But it's time to go back to my real job as mother and wife.
And I will do just that – right after my nap. π
