I don’t know about you but having a baby and toddler at home is exhausting. I love being able to be home for them but it can wear you down. My husband and I set up an awesome deal so I can get a little time to myself so I don’t get to overwhelmed. I am so thankful and so lucky to have a husband that is so supportive of me. The schedule is to workout in the morning before he goes to work. 30 minute break at lunch and 30 minute break after he gets of work. It doesn’t always go as planned but it’s such a great thing for me. I used to wonder why women need so much me time. Well, now I know. I do have to say that sometimes I think it gets out of control with some. But, to each their own. I do not like being a stressed out mom because it is not good for us all. I have also lost my joy for things in life. So I am trying to work things out to get my joy back. It might sound weird but that’s how I feel. I really cannot remember the last time I was outwardly excited about something. I was reading an article about this and it is true. We must take care of ourselves and there is nothing wrong with needed to “find yourself”.
Today was one of the not going as planned days. I “slept in” today, well, we all did! 6:30 am instead of 4:40am. Awesome stuff! My husband had a follow up appointment so that cut out my other 30 minutes alone. That’s way more important then my me time. So I’m finally relaxing while the boys sleep. Thank goodness they are both sleeping 🙂 Which means I should have 1-2 hours of kid free time? Wahooooo!! I start with a hot cup of coffee and typically an apple and peanut butter for snack. I also catch up on my dvr shows. Big brother, Flipping out, real housewives of Orange County, and Keeping up with kardashians. I am such a reality tv fanatic hahaha When it gets to 1-1.5 hours I can start cleaning and stuff so if they wake up they aren’t grumpy from lack of nap. Ha!
Well, I’m off to relax and finish my hot coffee and Flipping Out show. It’s gonna be an awesome start to the weekend. Homemade pizza for dinner, fun filled Saturday and all day football on Sunday!
