Day 18, 19, 20 what a bust-kind of. I am a mom. I’m trying my best to take care of myself, but my little guys will always come first. I am trying to be a little more selfish, but with these faces who can say no? Friday was a busy day for me. My oldest had his school holiday presentation and class party. As room parent, I planned and did the craft with the kids. I also helped with the food. Can we say overextended! Then my Mom and I went to lunch in town, she deserved a day out. I suppose so did I and it was nice having a lunch out on the town.
The same night my little guy had his Christmas pageant. So, it was home, dinner and back out. The husband met us there and thank goodness for that. My oldest was in sensory overload and couldn’t handle being at the show any longer. My hubby had to take him out. Talk about emotional overload. It’s tough being a mom sometimes and wanting to be there for both of your kids. You just give and give and hope that it’s enough. This mom needed a drink when she got home.
Day 19, Saturday, we had a holiday party to attend that evening and much to be done before hand. I still have a crappy washing machine and the husband had started to gut out the downstairs bathroom to make room for my new laundry room. (or I should say the only laundry room I’ve ever had.) I went food shopping to get ready for Christmas Eve. Oh, did I say overextended? Although I didn’t get to workout, I had a great time at the party. I did eat all the wrong foods and probably drank way too much. I had fun! So, did the kids and the hubby! It was worth eating all that onion dip!
Day 20: Are you kidding? I can’t do anything with all these people home. I made a big Sunday breakfast and we enjoyed ourselves at the dining room table. I had a sinus headache that was a killer. I couldn’t stand it. I made crazy lists about all the things that I need to do before Christmas. Why do things have to get crazy before the holidays? Can you ever really enjoy yourself? Like I said, project we! I’m just breathing and taking it easy. I just want my little guys to be happy.
Don’t worry about me, I’m not quitting. I actually just signed up to review the 100 Day Challenge. I will achieve my goals and I’m willing to take all the help I can get. I’ll keep you posted.
