I am not healthy.

There I said it.

OK, Maybe that is a little exaggerated but I don’t feel healthy. You would think I would feel awesome since I’m 5 lbs down past my pre-pregnancy weight and that all my clothes fit me. But I don’t.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been cooped up in a house with a sick child who constantly wipes his snotty nose on me and coughs in my face.

Or that I have been living off of cookies since the cookie exchange. (You think I’m kidding … I’m not)

Or the fact that I’m sleep deprived and my only source of exercise is picking up our 17 lb. baby and running errands.

Whatever it is … it sucks. I don’t feel like my normal self and I just feel blah. I am constantly tired and dragging ass. My joints and muscles literally ache all the time and I can not seem to get hydrated for the life of me. Overall, I just feel weak. Which is not cool, I’ve never felt this way. So I’m not sure what is up with me but something needs to change and it needs to change asap.

Around this time of year I look forward to writing down my goals and looking back on all my goals that I accomplished. I’m glad it’s that time again because boy do I need it. When I became a mom, my life has been put on the back burner to take care of little man. Which is totally fine, I mean that is my job. But I need to find a balance so I can take care of myself AND my family and house. I consider myself lucky if I get in 3 meals and a shower. I’m not sure how I’m going to figure out how to balance everything but my first main goal for 2012 is taking care of myself. Selfish? Maybe but  I want to feel healthy and strong again. Now the question is … how do I go about doing this without letting all my other “duties” go.

What is your Main goal for 2012 … Is it to get Healthy too?

I missed a post yesterday which I’m super bummed about. I’ve been trying so hard to be consistent with my posts. I feel like I haven’t accomplished anpything since we’ve gotten back. I have a ton to catch up on in the blog world. I still have a ton of errands to run, a butt load of laundry that still needs to be folded, Christmas decorations that aren’t fully up yet, a bunch of Christmas presents to buy, a house that is a disaster zone, a dog that needs to be cleaned and an on-going to do list all while running on little sleep. I’m over whelmed to say the least.

And to top it all off my little baby isn’t feeling well. We’ve had some hard times this past week with his teething but this morning he woke up feeling really hot and was just not himself. I took his temperature and it was 101.1 so I called the doctor and spent the morning in the doctors office. No matter how overwhelmed I feel, everything will have to wait. My job as a mom is to make sure this little guy starts feeling better right away.

So you’ll find me snuggling with Caden in our house with dirty floors, un-made beds and a butt load of laundry sitting next to us for the rest of the day …. because well that’s my job as mom.
