Stretching not breaking...

How many women out there can relate to the idea that you can only be stretched so far before unavoidably your head pops right off? The thing is that the rest of the world doesn't recognize this as FACT! I'm not anti feminism or against women's movements or anything but honestly whoever decided that we as Momma's and Wives should be superwoman should have their head examined! I mean, I don't know about you but I'm doing well most days to be sure that everyone is fed at least one item that is whole and pure.... I know, I know we all have our good days and our bad days. Sunday,  my friends is one of my BAD days. I don't know why but the responsibilities of being a wife and a mother came to a catapulting head today. Mess after mess was cleaned up. Item after item was placed back in the appropriate area. Went to the grocery only to leave the deli purchases at the pick up area. What was supposed to be my day to get all laundry washed and put away slipped right on by with one load completely done and 76 more to go! Haha. I can't even celebrate that. But then it hit me as I was lying down to fall asleep (significantly later than everyone else in my home) I love my mess. I love my life. I often place unexpected rigid goals on my daily life. I make list after list and forget that life is full of challenges. I'd i approach my family life in the same way that I do my fitness life, then WHOA! I think I would be 1000 times happier. 

So from one Momma to another: Be gentle with yourself. It will all get finished. Give yourself grace. Love yourself and embrace your talents. Even if the talent of the day is making the best pbj your children have ever seen!
