Cleanliness is next to godliness? If that's the case, then I'm going to hell! Our living room looks like the stomping ground of a baby war zone. While I'm sure that's perfectly normal, its my lack of motivation to keep things clean and tidy that I think might not be normal. Yes, I try to clean, but really its nothing like my old Hotel George standards where the house was scrubbed from top to bottom. Now everything has a hefty coating of dust, bathrooms are dirty, laundry is piled as high as Mt. Everest, and I don't think I've vacuumed in a month. To be frank, everywhere I look there's work to be done and I honestly don't care. I feel tired, and ragged, worn down and just plain old. I'm nearing 30 in a few weeks and my body aches like I'm 50. Maybe from the extra weight that I unrealistically thought would miraculously disappear? Possibly from the perpetual sleep deprived state I now live in? Whatever the case might be, it sucks.

I know now that I had extremely high expectations going into post-pardum. After the near picture perfect pregnancy, rebounding back into my old figure (or better) was going to be a piece of cake. Days, weeks and months have slipped by, and well, I'm still waiting for that to happen... The glaring truth of the matter is I know I should be working out, but I can't find the motivation to actually do it. I tell myself every Monday, this is going to be the week to get back into a workout routine. The week flies right by and I've gained another couple of pounds. See, I associate working out with, well, work (and I work enough as it is). 40 hours a week in the office; all the other hours of the week as a mom and wife. I struggle to find 10 free minutes a day, and when I do, the last thing I want is to workout. I want to sit my tush on the couch, eat some comfort food and mentally check out.
Its time for a change. Its time to reinvent me.
1) you posted a picture of yourself in a bikini and you look freaking awesome so don't be so hard on yourself
ReplyDelete2) Dylan and alexsis want you to play with and love on them more than a clean house any day of the week
3) As a working mom, you deserve some help. If you can find some funds for it in your budget, look into having someone clean your house for you, even if it is only once a month.
Honey, give yourself a break. You're house is going to get even messier as they get older and they're not going to be able to put their toys away for a while yet. Embrace the mess. It means you have two healthy kiddos who are enjoying playing and learning. Or hire a maid to clean. (I've been thinking about doing the same.) As far as your figure goes, you looked hot in your bikini. Mine doesn't even fit right now. I've started having to get up at 5 am to work out and I gotta tell you - it sucks. And I haven't even lost any weight yet...
