I think as mothers we have all felt this way from time to time. You feel like you are at the absolute bottom of your own priority list. Well, I am working on shoving myself ahead of mundane things like laundry and mopping. I think I deserve it. ;) After all, if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
So today, for me and only me, I:
- took a multi-vitamin
- ate breakfast along with two cups of strong coffee :)
- caught up on my blog
- made a hair appointment for later this week
- ran with my husband at lunch (loved-it-oh-so-much)
- shaved my legs
- washed my hair and took the time to make it all pretty
- opened the windows and felt the breeze blowing in
- hummed as I made a new dessert for tonight (ok this one is technically for everyone...i will share, i promise)
- took time to do absolutely nothing in between

aww! so glad you took a day for YOU! you are exactly right, when we aren't happy, no one is! Because if they are, they better watch out!!! :) getting a drastic hair change?! and yes, share the dessert!
Ok well I loved catching up on your blog- I haven't read in awhile cuz I knew you were moving...but oh Heather, you have had SO much going on!
Your beautiful tribute of your grandma was so touching. I went through the very same thing with my grandmother 2 years ago. I got to say "goodbye" to her- the last thing I was able to share with her that I was expecting a baby. It was so bittersweet and amazing to see the circle of life. It's hard to say goodbye but what an amazing legacy your grandma has left with her family-I know she's so proud of you.
and I laughed about your "momma ain't happy" post. Cuz girl I can RELATE :) Except...wait I'm not losing any weight? Anyway...:)... I hope you take many more days like that-you deserve all of it and more.
I'm glad O-Hi-O is treating you well! Moving is no fun but settling in and the excitement of a fresh start is ... so I hope you're relishing in the joy of that!
Take of yourself mama!
