Who cares?

I do a lot of stuff; some important, some random, but all of it I normally get really excited about. I start new projects, sign up for everything, make my friendships a priority and I read everything I can get my eyes on to make better, cleaner meals for the family, be greener and kinder, save money, clip coupons, teach my children, be a better friend..... and for what? Sometimes I really wonder, who the flip cares? Ya know, like who really gives a crap. I'm constantly trying to be the best person I can be. Honestly half of the stuff I do here at home to better the family gets poked fun at, or shot down.... so I'm left wondering, why the heck should I even do it anymore. I mean, if I'm only using my time and energy and I'm left feeling rather empty when I don't get any positive feedback or enforcement.... is it wasted energy?

I'm going through some intense changes this year, growing older, moving on with my life. Prioritizing for time , happiness and effectiveness is everything these days. I don't want to lose the person that is ME. Doing all of the above things has made me who I am, the Sarah everyone knows. I wonder, is she gone? Some of her needed to be gone, but some of the parts that I can't find I really liked. Sorry, I know this blog is a little unlike my usually positive optimistic self, but I have to admit, this stage of life can be a bit scary at times. I'm sure glad I've got God, and if I'm honest, even then it's still scary.

Mm. Hopefully my rant didn't send you on one!

I think something you have to try to remember, is that God sees everything you do. He sees your efforts, he sees your heart (scary sometimes), he knows it all. And along those lines, he promises to store up treasures in heavens for what you do here on earth...especially when you get by without the praises of man.

But, it is hard. When you feel like no one cares, or when no one appreciates all your thriftiness, craftiness, cheeriness.

But... I <3 u! You're amazing lady... and I love the Martha Stewart in you! :)

First, let me just say .... I CARE! Second, I thought I was reading a blog of my own. Lol. You are not allowed to rant! You are my HAPPY friend! Seriously though, you do these things because they are important to YOU! Who cares if they get poked fun at or your family doesn't appreciate them? You do! You could not live a day feeling fulfilled if you weren't being crafty,organic,green, and all together awesome! You put a lot on your plate but I truly believe u enjoy it. Take the things you don't enjoy doing and just don't do them anymore. If you don't really enjoy doing all these things for your family then stop and be okay with it!

I know you though, you love all such things. Can u imagine feeding ur kids mc donald's everynight? Can you imagine letting christmas pass without decorating christmas cookies? Can you imagine going to the store and giving them your hard earned money? Of course not! Relax girl! Make changes based on how YOU feel. I can guarantee you, your kids and hubby are going to look back and remember how special you made them feel and all the extras you did for them. I admire you for all your efforts! I for one really appreciate the fact that you are a truly amazing friend! Love you!

Is my son being a little pooey towards your enthusiasm? Don't change Sarah! I think every woman goes through this, because we spend so much of our energy doing things for our families we forget to include ourselves. You do all that you do, so that everyone has a fun & happy time & sometimes no one says anything. But believe me when your family thinks back they will recall all the things that you've done for them and all the happy times you provided! So don't get discouraged just keep on doing all the things you love to do...I care XXOO Love you Mom F.
