Happy Monday!

For me, today was pretty good (and I needed a good day!). You all know I have been struggling with this whole working mom thing. Today was a day off from school which helps not having to rush around and get kids ready for school and then no kids to pick up and get to dance and practice ect. But, today I felt like a good mom. I had two massage appointments today, one at 8:30 and one at 1:00. I came home in between and watched a movie with The Boy, The Girl came home from a friends house shortly after. Then I went back to work for my afternoon appointment, then took The Boy to Orthodontist which took too long for the kids and I to catch a movie but The Boy got a call from a friend to come over for a bit, so The Girl and I went out to dinner together. I had some moments to connect with the kids. It was nice and relaxing, I so needed that! I am sure there were some things I could have done (organize the pantry, grocery shop, meal plan ect) but I really needed some down time especially with the kids. And I am blogging now so it will be done before The Hubs gets done teaching his class and I will get ready for him to come home and have some ‘down time’ with him tonight too (or should I say ‘up time’?)Monday Be Awesome

Anyway, I had a rough time getting up this morning. I need to work on a schedule. I am going to try to get my workouts in first thing in the morning starting tomorrow. I will get up with The Hubs and make him and myself a healthy breakfast then get my workout done before the kids get up. I will need to get up at about 5:30 or 6:00 for that. Depending on the time the Hubs has to leave for work. I will workout before breakfast if he leaves later and if he leaves earlier I will work out after breakfast. I will also add in Shakeology at least once a day! That is what I am working on this week. I am also going to focus on getting enough water. I know they say to do only one thing at a time but I really need to do more, right now! I have put off self care for so long! So first thing is getting in the workout and scheduling my life!

Life is hard, Mondays are hard. Working and supporting a family is hard! We all need moral support, and physical support sometimes and financial support! It is important for us to take care of ourselves and I am trying to do my best to take care of me starting this week with schedule! What do you need to work on for self care? Try not to take on too much all at once. Put in the work and make sacrifices but don’t lose yourself! As it has said on my business cards since I started doing massage 16 years ago “Take the Time to Take Care of Yourself”. Don’t forget about you!

Have a great night folks!

Well, it’s Friday evening at almost 10pm. I had 4 massages then worked mid shift at the bar tonight (4-9). I had a lingering Migraine from yesterday which tells me it was more migraine less hangover. I had a pretty good day. My massages went well and my shift at the bar was good. I gave away a $750 jackpot in Pull Tabs which always makes for a fun day. It was slow-wish but steady. The hubs and I started off a little rocky as we both are stretched pretty thin these days with our schedule and all. I am glad I have him and that we can get past some of these “special moments” without having a huge falling out. We love each other and we like to spend time together and when we can’t we get stressed and miss each other with is kindling for a fire of a fight but we are learning to not let it ruin us. On a bright note: Today was House cleaner day! So the house is nice and clean (aside from some laundry that needs to get put away) so we can just enjoy each other and not worry about the mess that we have to pick up or clean. So we can just enjoy each other.

Personalities cleanI really would like to spend every second of every day with him. We have so much fun together we are great companions. We love being together and we try to make as much time as possible to be with each other. We do a lot of things together. With football season being in full swing us going out on a Friday is a little bit of a bad idea so that we can have a good nights rest so that we can all be ready for the game tomorrow. So we are sitting on the couch watching a movie. Up next is some Hot Tub time!

Naked Hot Tub time! I may even go grab my Njoy and increase the enjoyment and start up some fore play for the night! What is on your schedule to make your night special with your lover? It doesn’t have to be a Hump Day Challenge for me to write about sex does it? Hot Tub, Butt Plug and maybe even some porn and hot ‘attitude adjustment’ type sex. You know the type of sex that makes you remember your younger days when you were dating and having sex for fun giving your lover what they enjoy and you getting what you enjoy from your lover! My Hub’s has a great way of making me feel beautiful loved and sexy and I plan to do the same for him!

Go enjoy your Friday Night, I plan too!

OMG, so I forgot to post a blog today!!! It was a nice day. Got the kids clothes “inventoried” so we know what to purchase for school clothes this year. Then The Boy had a friend over and they all went to Grandma’s for a sleepover and she is taking them to a drive through zoo tomorrow! She has my kids plus the Boy’s friend and my sister’s two younger girls. Yes 5 kids and a roommate she will be taking to this drive through Zoo an hour away! I am sure they will all have fun, they may all drive her crazy but she will love every second of it. That’s what Grandma’s do!

The Hubs and I went out for dinner and a few drinks before bed. Then had some “quality time” together before we went to bed to sleep… that is when I realized I forgot to post today.

Along with a few other things I forgot to do online. I.e. Fantasy Football Draft set up and PeeWee football Facebook update and maintenance stuff… Guess what I will be doing first thing in the AM after the Hubs goes to work?!

Anyway I feel like it was a productive Sunday and that it will be a good week. Starting it off with a productive, fun and relaxing Sunday that includes good sex (and the Hubs went shooting with his buddy so h had guy time and shooting time for some stress reliever) and quality time, we are set for a good week!

Happy End of Sunday folks!!

It was a long day. Started off by waking up with a Tummy ache. I almost had to cancel my first massage it was so bad. I have been having digestive/tummy issues for a while. I have another Dr appointment on Tuesday. I can’t figure out what is causing it, dairy, wheat, fatty foods, vegetables, sugar, all have been involved in both situations after I ate and I felt fine and times I felt bad. I have done a lot of tests including endoscopy and colanoscopy to figure out what’s wrong. It is starting to really affect my life and not just be annoying. I was late for work because of it and almost didn’t go. It sucks. And is tiring. I don’t have time or energy for this.

Then at the office I learned I had a massage today that I wasn’t aware of. The office staff should call me when they schedule am appointment, actually they are supposed to send a text but they don’t always. I usually catch it before the day of. I really needed my time today. I had to switch to doing a half hour instead of and hour massage, that was frustrating. Sometimes it just happens but today I was just irritated.

Then this afternoon I got a text saying the bartender I covered for On Monday is now in the hospital and I have to work for her Friday and Saturday night. I have to close both nights! I love my job and enjoy bartending but I miss my family and miss hanging out with my man and friends on the weekends when I have to work. Maybe lots of fun people will come in and I can make that money money money!

And now the Hubs and I are about to crash. We are exhausted. He stayed out till closing Monday night while I worked. Then he was fixing the computer Tuesday night and was awake until just before I got home at 3am and then we were up until 1am-ish last night after our “date night”. We are tired! I was counting down until Saturday night when we would have no football practice, dance or work and we could just chill together, now that’s not gonna happen. I love working and contributing financially to the family but I feel like I am abandoning them. I know it’s life and that’s what happens when you want to be financially stable and provide for your kids and have a comfortable life and have expensive hobbies, but I miss my family. Need to take advantage of the time off I get and make it more quality, I don’t have enough time, to not make it quality time.

So I am done here going to have some quality time with the Hubs. (I miss quantity time). But we will make every minute worth it and every minute count..or at least try to!
