It feels like just yesterday when I made my last post ...clearly I've missed a couple months of our lives, but I'm making a comeback!
Since the new year began, I've taken on the daunting task of reorganizing our life a bit. Nothing major, but I felt like things were getting away from me...my house keeping, Ava's preschool, my fitness (listen, skinny does not mean healthy...cardiovascular fitness and tone muscle equals healthy...both of which I've been lacking for a long time), my other job, meals, this poor BLOG!...I just kept jumping from task to task and nothing was getting finished. Not to mention my kids are growing and I strive to drown in their giggles and get lost in their hugs and kisses everyday of our lives. Hard to do when other things are lingering over your head. Needless to say, I think I'm almost there...so close to the land of balance and it feels so good! The first thing I had to realize is that, brace yourselves here, I AM NOT SUPERWOMAN! ;) So some things I just can't add to my plate...like P90X...good lord I was working out 6 days per week for 45-90 minutes! Gimme a break!! It's a nice plan for those who don't have 800 other things to do on top of working out. Now, 30 minutes 4 days per week is so much better - and needed! Anyway, it's good to have my priorities reorganized to include all those things important to me - like this blog! My hope is to post once a month. At the very top of my list is spending quality time with my kids and baby daddy. ;) Everything else falls from there. If I'm faced with housework and requests from my daughter to "pway wif me mama!" then you better believe I am stopping everything to "pway"!! And I'll be taking full advantage of any opportunity Stella gives me to nap-nurse with her or rock her to sleep, nestled up on my chest. Bad habits or not, those moments give motherhood meaning!! Lord knows I will miss these days when they're gone, but I will never miss those chores. I encourage all you overwhelmed moms to remember this everyday:
"Good moms have sticky floors, dirty ovens, laundry piles, and HAPPY kids."
