I was picking up my lil man yesterday and figured I would swing by and pick something up to eat considering hubby was out of town. I considered chinese and my favorite chinese place would require me to order, wait, and take him out with the car seat and walk in for a total of 2 minutes and then come back out. So I opt’d for the drive thru. then I had an epiphany.
Many single working moms only have this option being it is harder to try to go home and cook when you can just swing by the drive thru. Now, I am referring to when the kids are non walking, first months of their life when they basically travel in the car seat and you carrying their ever so getting heavier ass.
It also made me realize why so many are not healthy. Many try SO hard to work out and be a better them but with a kid or even several kids running around, I can see where it would be an issue.
I also realized that even though your priorities change, you should not neglect yourself. Whether it be time with the hubby, yourself personally, or even just YOU time which EVERY WOMAN NEEDS.
I have to admit that I put lil man first above everything else and I need to stop that. I am mentally working on it.
I feel that my current journey personally is going to put everything else into places for me and I am excited about it all.
To ALL the mothers out there. do NOT neglect your ‘ME’ time. it will show up later and you may go postal on everyone. Than again, if you decide to, let me give you my list and have at it. I promise it’s not long…lmao
