Its OKAY to be BLUE sometimes

This morning by some miracle, my children and I didn't get up until 9:30. sorry to you other moms but I had to brag. This is extremely wonderful as it has been -fucking cold here in Saskatchewan the last few weeks since Christmas and I have been loosing my enthusiasm to get up and do ...well anything. I am recovering from postpartum depression with my third baby (now 4 months).Those of you that haven't had any type of baby blues , amazing! Good for you . Those of you that have, know that is quite difficult to get out of the I don't want to do anything rut. Not only do you not want to do anything, but you lack any energy to anything also. The overwhelming feeling and anxiety can strike you at looking at something as simple as the laundry pile , or at a dirty dish. Even feeding the cat seems like running a marathon some days. Today the only way I am managing is taking 25 minutes to myself(almost daily) to exercise . I have started beach body's T25, an intense home workout that is only 25 torturous minutes a day. Doing something for your self I found to be the key. I also try to escape the house without a child latched onto me at least once a week for a tan which I find relaxing. All pending of course if my Oilfield Mr is home in time to watch our little terrorists. Its definably not easy as a parent period, to find time for your self in between breakfast, school sports ,doctor appointments, and endless house work . But I want to remind you all that with out a happy mommy there is no happy house hold. At nap time today I will be doing my T25 leg day , So come on all you hot mammas lets take a few minutes for your self today. Whether it be a break on the couch with your favorite coffee, A tan, an oh so coveted nap if your lucky enough. Or join me on a new fitness journey! (I will post pictures and links on how to do so in an upcoming post if any one is interested ?) Whatever you pick, take a break and remember you are loved ,you are beautiful and most importantly , YOU CAN DO IT !!!!
