Let's get real y'all!! Being a single mom is hard (and I am one of the lucky moms since my baby daddy B is really involved and really great...) But it is still hard... Balancing home, work, my school and his school (not to mention all other activities) is hard.
We both did so good in school this past year... A&Bs for him and As for me!! Whoop whoop! Work went well all the events were successful... But the house... Well the house suffered. My mantra became... Clean kitchen, Clean bathroom and clean clothes (sheets included) good enough and done!
We ate out too much from March to May and I gained more weight than I care to admit!! My doctors warned me my weight would become a issue w all the new meds to treat my health issues but come on... At some point it is between me and the Reese Cups.
So I had the good intention of doing a 30 day Fit in Five and 30 day Purge on the house. ... Simultaneously... (And did I mention this is end of summer semester for me...yeah.. Brilliant) But once I decide on something and start... I am a little Bulldog puppy and I won't stop or let go!!
My beloved boyfriend KG who totally always has my back... Supports me in all things and loves me unconditionally (YES I know how lucky I am) was looking at me like I was insane when I told him this BRILLIANT plan of mine Friday night. Of course he supported me but warned to not over do it!!
Well last night it all caught up to me... I was physically, emotionally and mentally done... I had 2 house projects due, was supposed to study for a test and needed to do some things for Ts return from his trip w his dad. Wanna know what I ended up getting done last night?? NOTHING!
KG was right (and no he didn't tell me so... He just told me he loved me and would be over to take care of me if I needed him...YES once again, I know how lucky I am) I bit off more than I could chew and I had to go to bed at 8:45 last night and I was asleep until 9:40 this morning and in bed until noon.
Moral of the story... Listen to your body... Rest when you need... Don't keep pushing yourself when you feel exhausted and when you body crashes no amount of coffee is getting it back up!!
So say your prayers... Ask God to direct you and show you what you can and can't do. Ask Him not only for strength but for wisdom. Oh and put down the cake if you wanna lose weight!
Momma loves you!!
