Sometimes........

Sometimes, it's hard but we as moms need to be selfish a little. I have not been very good at mastering that ability and balancing it with being a non-selfish mom. Sometimes, I need that time to myself, or with Kris by myself. Sometimes I need to eat the healthy food (ok all of the time) in the house that I always guilt myself out of doing so we have it there for the girls. My health is just as important, so I can take care of THEM. Sometimes I need to step back and let Kris do more, let him give the baths, even if he doesn't do it the way I do it, because my way is certainly NOT the only way! Sometimes I need to pick my battles. This applies to both the girls and to Kris. I need to learn how to deal with the little things that can easily get blown out of porportion (and often times do) because I don't handle them correctly. Sometimes I need to remember who I am, remember what I like, what I want, what I need and find ways to allow that into our lives. I am not a super mom,

What a week!!!

Kris has been working so much lately, its worn us all out. While I appreciate his efforts to bring home more bacon =) I am glad he's home tomorrow! We miss that silly guy! AND I know he is exhausted. This week has been exhausting. Not sure why, but lots of ups and downs and all arounds. Today's dreary stay-in-bed-all-day weather hasn't helped =) BUT I did find out at Weight Watchers today that I managed to lose 5.2 lbs in my first week. Financially I may not stay with the program when it comes to paying for meetings etc., but I'm ready to embrace the plan and Kris is on board too! SOOOO lets see how healthy we can get before summer. I would love for both of us to lose enough to wear clothes we like and to have the energy to enjoy our girls. SO, while this has been an exhausting week, it gives us a lot to look forward to! INCLUDING a big game Saturday between KU and UNC, ROCK CHALK!
