I'm sick, so what!?!

So I woke up yesterday not feeling the best and this little sickness decided to stay. I am trying my best to still push forward and get things done. It truly isn't the easiest, and I am irritable, achey, tired, cold... But honestly no one really cares. Being sick in no way excuses me not getting my work done. I don't get a pass because I'm not well from friends and coworkers. Had I been able to call in today I most definitely would have. Because that option is not readily available I've gotta keep grinding, get through the day. No complaining and just work, because I'm no wimp. 

At home I had to take care of the kids, get them fed, pick up messes, do dishes, get them out the door... And I am happy and proud of myself for being able to have this mindset that it needs to be done, test when you can work when you need to. ❤️

All eyes on mama.


Today I made time to get my 30 minute yoga in. The first 8 minutes are so were serene, the next 12 had me laughing and really trying to focus. Juliet was showing me videos from someone who multiplies and morphs images to music. Pretty freaky weird stuff. Maddox was being his hyper 3 year old self (repeating multiple times that when he grows up he wants to be a black fire fighter) and miss elli was chillin and making Maddox repeat himself. They see me working out and it's so normal to them that they just carry on as if I'm just sitting on the sofa. 

I try and shoot for early morning workouts so I can truly focus but honestly most mornings sleep wins. That is something I am striving to change.

And we come full circle!

The past year I have been focusing on building a better self and going after the life I want for me and my kiddos. I have really taken time to step back and evaluate where I want to be in the next few years and I have decided it is time to get there.
This is going to take a lot of work and dedication and I wanted a place to be able to be real and raw. I want to show the truth behind the journey. I want a place to share my life on this grand adventure of being a mom on the quest for a healthier life in all areas. 
So now to get off my butt and do my yoga and do the dishes. My least favorite chore everrrrr.
