The good news is that I am getting more wise about who I am. Last week I started articulated that I was close to a burn out which meant I was already in the clear. And, as it turns out the 2 other mommas on this blog actually knew that.
I like to call it survival mode. It occurs when I can barely keep my head above water. I am not able to ask for help or even slow down a smidge to tell someone what's happening in my life, I can only stay focused on being positive and making it through. And drinking copious amounts of wine, for survival of course. The good news is twofold... 1. I am out of the woods and 2. I am beginning to key in that if I can say the words burn out, I am close to being okay again. Hahaha.
I kind of felt like a bug hitting a windshield.
So, last weekend turned out to be a perfect opportunity for me to relax my way back to normal. It was slow and relaxing. Brent and I actually watched 2 movies...The Cove and Avatar. I really enjoy both although (like most people) I found The Cove pretty disturbing. Had to cross swimming with dolphins off my bucket list.
Sadly in amongst all of this relaxing, I completely went to the dogs as far as healthy living goes. Is summer here already? Mimosas, ice cream cake, homemade cheeseburgers, french fries. Yesterday Kath had mentioned balanced, Nat and 80/20 in the same sentence. I think I need a couple more week days to make up the 80, got the 20 down packed. Worst part is as I stuff my face with all things delicious, I can hear the sexy Wendy Novotny whisper, calories in equal calories out. Hahahaha.
OK, Tuesday here I come. I have my first mammogram. I have a coffee/crossword date with Gramps (almost out of the hospital although I feel like a yo-yo talking about it) and I have a TON of work to do. I leave Thursday morning at the crack of dawn for spring meetings in TO.
You have to learn to shout out before your wings take their last flutter. Good luck on the mammo and keep it on your list of priorities. Say hi to Gramps and don't wear yourself out in TO. xoxo
