Loving me loving you- uh ha

 I have been busy.  There has been contests and giveaways. Custom orders and gifts to make.  I feel like I have been nurturing my soul.  I am creating again and it feels great!
 I talked to a friend tonight about how frustrating it is, then, to not feel that love pass through to my children.
 Don't get me wrong, they are super loved and feel that love. But mama has been short fused this week.  Mama has not had more than 2 hours of sleep at a time without one of the kids needing her in months.  Last night 5 hours of sleep in total with a one hour break in the middle and 3 other waking times between.  
 So I am empty and parenting on empty doesn't work well.
 I finally made an executive decision, encouraged by my loved ones, to reclaim a small space in my week just for long showers and sleep.
 Two hours. Once a week. Until Daddy is off this tour.
 Just for me. No Chores. No kids. No nothing. 

So that I can love deeper and be more present to the beautiful children that are in my life.
