I feel that I need to explain my situation. I was released from a very big responsibility on Sunday. Yes.....you know what it is. I feel like it was time. I know that my family needs me home more and my husband needs me more. Jon's job has been incredibly stressful the past 3 weeks. It is a new job, he is still training, so we are hoping that it won't be like this forever. Because, this is a really great job for him. But I hate it. I want my husband back. It's hard!
So, I've been feeling a little like withdrawing inside myself, my family, and my house. I'm trying to have a week or two or three of easygoingness. I feel like I just want to curl up in my own bed early, take more baths, finish the books I've been too busy to read, play with my kids more, read them more stories, listen more, finish the projects I've been putting off FOREVER, watching more T.V. (what a great goal!), cleaning my house, baking more (just because I want to), exercising, and just plain taking care of me.
Maybe these feelings are because of my release. Maybe I'm feeling a little rebellious. Maybe I just needed a break. Maybe I am sick of stress. Maybe it's because it's cold (I hate winter!...except for Christmas). Maybe I just want to watch more T.V. I don't know. I'll be back to my crazy busy self in a while. I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening blogspot!

I hope things with the job settle down! We miss miss you at the cabin :(
I know exactly how you're feeling because I've had those same emotions the last month or 2. It WILL get better! It's always nice to take some ME time. Enjoy! :)
Lisa, you are a great inspiration to so many of us. Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did in your calling. I was always so amazed to see what all you were able to accomplish with church and family. Take the "me time" you need and do it for no reason except you want to. You really are a great example to me and I know Jeff really appreciated working with you as well. Thank you for all you have done for our ward.
Lisa I love you! You are the greatest daughter a mother could ask for. The past few years you have been a big help to me. And you are so blessed with a good husband and three of the cutest kids ever!! Hope you get to feeling better soon. Relax……. and don't feel quilt about watch a little TV!!
Since baby #4 came along I have been having the same feelings. It is great to know I am not alone in what I am going through! Love you lady, when I think back on the village you are one that I always remember and smile.
