Mommas Don’t Feel Guilty

-
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Do not feel guilty for taking time for you. There have been plenty of times that I skipped my early morning workout. I just didn’t feel like doing it before work. After work, I was too emotionally and physically tired.

Recently, I got up, made lunches for the family and told Hubby and Lil Man that I needed 30 minutes.

And I felt guilty!


Guilty for first of all admitting I that I needed that half hour, and second of all for leaving my family to take a little time for me.  But the reality is, I have a husband who is quite capable of eating breakfast with our son and overseeing that he gets dressed and ready for school while I take 30 minutes for myself. After my workout, I felt like a new woman and ready to face the day. Because I took care of me, I was able to be a better Wife and Mom. 

So drop the guilt peeps. It’s ok and necessary to take the time for self care. If you can’t get a chunk of time, take the time you can get when you can.

It reminded me of people who used to sell snake oil. Every time that I got sick or had an ailment, friends would ask if I had tried this or that oil, I would politely smile and say that I hadn't. I've always been skeptical - the roll your eyes kind of skeptical. A few months ago, a teacher friend was having a doTERRA party with the option of purchasing $5 roller ball bottles. I didn't make it to the party, but I did buy a few roller ball bottles. For $5 I thought I'd give it a try, then I could tell those that yes I've tried it and move on so to speak. I even laughed as I told my mom that I was giving them a try. I told her that I didn't think it would work, but it was worth trying. (I'd been dealing with a sinus infection for weeks that just wouldn't go a

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
