Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

I Need A Reset

November 21, 2017

You know how it is right? School is in session and you’re running kids to and from and only have the time in between to take care of the house, meals, laundry, finances, and run errands because (guess what!) you’re out of milk…again! Then, throw a few birthdays and two holidays and – boom! – you are suddenly at the bottom of the to do list again. And your housework routine has fallen off too. That’s where I am at. And after all that running I am just so tired. Could be the caffeine I’m drinking to stay on top of it all, however, it seems to be a short term fix. Like sugar, I crash and I’m more tired than when I took that first sip. So, I need to hit the reset button and do it NOW, because if I’m crashing and burning with Thanksgiving, two birthdays, and Christmas coming up, no one is going to have a good time.

What is this reset going to entail? It’s this: get back into my daily and weekly housekeeping routines. In Sidetracked Home Executives they said that those are priority and should be done period. This ensures that if anything else comes up, at least your basic housekeeping, laundry, and meals are going to be/get done. The other priority is taking care of me. That means: Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Water – just like the Mom Operating Manual tells you to do. (I think that book is for moms and not kids :-P) Those really are the cornerstones of self-care. I’m going to add Vitamins in because I need the extra boost, and also Quiet and take 15 minutes of doing nothing each day in a place that is quiet. It’s not a crime to do that people. We all need silence and we can listen to ourselves and God (as we understand Him) better that way.

Okay, so TODAY I begin my reset. With that said, I’m off to take a shower. I have a hair appointment and need to run to the store for milk this morning so I need to get going. Toodles!
