Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Balance

April 7, 2016

I like this definition of balance:

“An even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady”

That is not happening in my life. There is not an even distribution of weight and I’m barely upright and more shaky than steady. I know what this means for me. It means I need to get people to help out more around the house. It means I need to invest in myself more so that I am a saner happier mom and not a grouchy tired mom at the end of the day (and that is usually around 6pm). It means I need to get into a routine that works and stick to doing some things at the same time each day – like meals. It means not just reading self-help books (yeah, fell off that wagon) but also reading literature too. It might mean learning something new, or going back to school. It means not doing things that aren’t working and replacing them with things that do. Or maybe not replacing them at all so there is more time for the other things in life I want to do. Or need to do. It means limiting caffeine and giving up processed foods and sugary treats and eating more whole foods. And moving more. I’m running on empty and need to fill my tank up so I can regain my balance.
