Finding Balance: One of Those Days….

Being lost in your anxiety when literally everything needs your attention…. doesn’t help.

In fact, it sucks.

Big time.

But, sometimes I feel that exhausting yourself to the point you feel numb… is worse.

And today was one of those days. A day where no matter what I did to give myself peace…. the world wasn’t having it.

5 loads of laundry when you don’t have a dryer (yeah, it went out, and he decided other things deserved our money more) is a lot of laundry.

And I mean….. A LOT.

Mix in a gas station run. Sweeping. Picking up toys. Emptying a 20 pound container of water everyday (old window air units suck). Cleaning a pool. Swimming in the pool. Gathering items for a doctor’s trip first thing in the morning. Filling out said paperwork for doctors visit……. it’s been a long and tiring day.

I think the only thing I didn’t do was cook. Left overs came in handy.

Did I mention I was tired?

No self-care for this worn out mama except some YouTube time. It was nice to sit and just watch something and be as lazy as possible for a little bit. But the constant bending and whatnot everyday just has my muscles worn out.

And then not sleeping well last night? Man, that’s a recipe for a grumpy mama. Although I think I’ve done well today, considering. Then factor in all the mental stuff going on…. yep, I’m done today.

But! I am in bed right now about to go to sleep. I’m typing this as my form of last minute #self-care therapy, just to clear my head and get today out.

Wherever you are in life…. Be at peace, or try to make peace with yourself . Be patient. Treat yourself with kindness. Practice self-care in your way, even if it’s for 5 minutes.

Take care of YOU!

And take one day at a time.
