(I jotted this down last night, before passing out in bed.)
We're exhausted, at least I am. We've said yes to helping others or volunteering or whatever too many times, at the expense of each other. At the expense of time together, alone. We collapse in to bed and here's our only in-person conversation of the day. Me: "I didn't get a chance to ask how your day was." He: "Fine. Normal stuff."
And that's it - the extent of our existence as a husband and wife today. We have to learn to say no to others, and yes to us.

I sure know that feeling. I had to leave to take our son to the ear specialist early this morning and just got home. Hubby had to work second shift. Our conversation was a quick kiss as I was leaving while trying not to wake him up. Then a one-minute phone call to let him know the appointment went well.
Balance is a really difficult thing to find. Try only to do the things that add to your life and nothing out of guilt. (Sounds easy huh?)
