"There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down -- until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living."
I am very guilty of this. There are times when I have refused to spend the day at the park with the girls because my house needed cleaned up. Theres vacations we never took because we were to afraid to spend the money. When is it ok? Why would it be any different later? What are we waiting for? Some big flashing neon sign that says take a vacation? Its time to stop waiting and start doing. I know the girls will look back 1 day and I really want them to remember good times not that we could never do anything because there was chores to do. I have also fell into the "mommy rut" where everything I have done for the last 8 years has revolved around my girls to the point where I have lost a little bit of myself along the way. Dont get me wrong I LOVE being a mother but I also need "me" time to be the best mama I can be.
Thats why im writing this blog, to address my problems and try to fix them. Weight issues and OCD are 2 things I have struggled with for awhile now. Now with that said, please oh sweet family of mine, no Interventions, or I told u so's. I have never claimed to be perfect.
