Boy does my family suffer when I haven’t taken care of myself. Sounds selfish, doesn’t it? But for those of you who are stay-at-home moms, you know exactly what I mean. Those mornings when I haven’t fixed my hair. On those days when I haven’t spent time in the Word. Those weeks when my eating has been very lopsided and the scales aren’t where I desire them to be. All of this affects me. In turn, this affects my family.
