Update to my season of life

Last week I wrote about my season of life.

And I used an example of a short workout video that I tried to do.

One week later… it reminds unfinished. I have not completed even another second of it.

The following day my kids were home due to a storm. My husband was home working so my day was spent trying to keep them happy and relatively quiet.

Thursday I had my little ones check up which involved shots 😦

Then I went to PT for 2 hours . 1 hour of regular PT and then an evaluation for my back.

Friday I needed to take my daughter for an eye exam at the children’s hospital ( she’s only 4 so we couldn’t go to the local office)

Saturday and Sunday and Monday were a blur of mostly happy busy weekend stuff.

And now it’s Tuesday.

I am fortunate enough to be able to laugh it off.

But I wonder why.

I find time for so many things, but unless I have an appointment I don’t find much time for myself.

I find time to help my kids with all the thing, help my husband… but I put myself last on my list.

I have found ways to cope though.

I make sure I drink coffee I like. I listen to music I like while I drive my kids back and forth. I try to take in the moments… knowing that this won’t be forever. I try to walk while waiting for my kids at their OT appointments.

I do need to find some more balance though. I did the dishes while my baby happily played in his playpen…incould have done something for myself instead.

I didn’t do for myself…and I didn’t finish what I needed to do…maybe I should have just done a little more for me.

Hard to say…even know writing this my thoughts are a little scrambled because I’m tired… and being tired isn’t helping my motivation either.

Tomorrow I’m going to put my workout on my actual do to list. And I hope I will finish it….even if it takes me the entire day to finish.
