So THAT was me yelling at my body to wake up. I have got to get out of this slump I'm in. For the last couple weeks I have just let myself go. Mostly meaning, I've been...should I say it out loud for everyone to hear? LAZY!! *sigh* there I said it!! I've been doing really good cleaning up the house but it was like, one day I woke up and the nesting phase left me and took all my energy along with it.
Ok so let's back up a little bit. A month ago I was doing so good with everything! Our daily routine was:
Wake up
Brush teeth
Change diapers
Eat breakfast
Morning walk
Snack, which was always some kind of fruit
Playtime
Naptime
Lunch
Playtime
Another nap
Dinner
Evening walk
Bath
Movie
Bed
You probably didn't care to know our schedule but oh well. And I did so well keeping up with it for a couple months. I felt GREAT. I felt healthy and full of energy. I wanted to start morning and evening walks so I can get out and get some exercise with my pregnant self and also so the boys can get out of the house. Since Zeus started coaching, he's been gone a lot busy with practice and working full time. The boys and I have basically been at home 24/7. Not that I mind. I LOVE having our own place and space. And I loved the time I spent with them. We have yet to set up cable because Zeus wanted to get it after the lockout ended and also because we needed to get a good AND sturdy TV stand for our TV...and I LOVE it. I have grown so much closer to the boys, really learned about their personalities, their likes, their dislikes. And honestly, no cable has been the best thing I could've ever done and would care less if we ever turn it on!
Ok so back on subject. Point is, I felt a little accomplished as far as fulfilling my duties as a mother. I made homemade lunches and dinners. Always had fruit for snack. A little exercise every morning and night. And besides spending quality time, and I mean REAL quality time, with my boys, I even managed to find time to clean during the day.
Some of you reading this would probably go bonkers staying at home all day every day. But I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home with the babies. You know the saying, "If you want it done right, you gotta do it yourself." Yea, that is ALL me when it comes to my little family and taking care of my kids. Basically, Zeus's only responsibility is to bring in the income. And I'm the mommy, which also means I'm the cook, the maid, the secretary, the handyman, the nurse, the mechanic, and whatever else mommies are, right?! Seriously! But I love it. I like being in control. I like to know who what when where why. I ASK QUESTIONS. From paying bills to rearranging our house, I'll do it all by myself because I know how I want it done! I guess that can be a little overwhelming to some spouses, but Zeus doesn't seem to mind. Haha
Omg back on subject again. I didn't just wake up and decide not to go on walks or to eat frozen pizzas for lunch AND dinner. It somehow over the last couple weeks ended up that way. And this morning I woke up EXTRA tired and EXTRA lazy. I mean, my body was physically tired and exhausted. I blame it on no exercise and eating poorly! For real, a couple days ago I had fruit snacks, brownies, and Mountain Dew for breakfast!! Ugh. No bueno. Today, when I woke up feeling like CRAP, the only thing I wanted to do is go to a spa and get every service they offer! And I told myself that's exactly what I'll do when Zeus gets that nice fat check after football season is done. Not necessarily because I deserve it, but because I WANT IT!! haha no, but seriously, I think Zeus and I will rent a hotel room on the strip for a night or two and have a nice little getaway without really getting away before baby is born and I'll really have to test my mommy skills juggling 3 babies under the age of 2. Holy moly. Then, I'll get my spa treatment. I'm excited!! Little does Zeus know. Lol.
Anyway! Tomorrow I am going to do a nice big HEALTHY shopping for the week and kick myself into high gear because I'm tired of being tired and lazy all the time!
On a totally different subject, I weighed in at my doctors appointment on Monday and I've only gained 2 lbs this whole pregnancy!! Ok 6 lbs. This coming Tuesday I will be 6 months!! I can't believe it!! I thought my pregnancy with Waylon was fast, this one is flying. With all these holidays just around the corner, the next few months are gonna go by so fast and before we know it babygirl will be here!! :) And we have yet to come up with a name. :(
If you made it through this post, you deserve a big fat massage because my mind kept wandering!! I think I drank too much Mountain Dew.
