TODAY'S DARE
Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list of areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life.
Things to ponder:
Where do you need to add margin to your life? When have you recently overreacted? What was your real motivation behind it?
If I get up earlier with Jason, not only do I have time to spend with him alone, but I can make him and the kids a healthy breakfast before the kids are awake and going crazy... it will give me time to do a devotion, and to wake up with a cup of coffee, before the day becomes demanding.
If I lay the kids down at 12:30 and clean up most of today's mess, including dishes and laundry, then lay down for about an hour, I will still be rested and I will have more time to spend with my family in the afternoon.
If I make Sunday's meal, such as preparing hard boiled eggs and cooking sausage, getting together lunch prep (sandwhich stuff), and cut all of my ingredients for something like a casarole on sat. I can do all of my catch up chores on sat. Because Jason will be home to help with the kids, then I can have all day sunday to do fun things with my family. I will also be cutting off the electronics on sunday from the day that we move into the house if Jason will go for that, we can find a church home, and start to spend sunday doing things like going out to the park, or a movie, or
playing games together.

If I move dinner from 5:30 til 6:00 so that I can go to the gym for an hours before dinner, if I can get

- I got really mad at Jason the other day, becaue the kids were all crying at me and he was sitting there and playing the game. I think it is because I feel like I am always the one at home, and when he is home he should deal with them, but really I am the one choosing to be a stay at home mom and I shouldnt be punishing Jason for that.
Today was an odd day, I did my dare, but really it just feels like everything is the same. I am changing, but so far, Jason is not... though it is only day 5... so I am going to keep on going.
You are doing great with your challenges! Give it time hun. If after the 40 days (40?) things haven't changed then it's time to work WITH him to try and make it better but for now I think you are doing great. You are an amazing wife and mom - never doubt it. If you weren't you wouldn't be trying.
