Today many breakthroughs have been had.1) The weather is gorgeous!!!
2) I had a Costco outing with the little bean all by myself and we both survived.
3) I had a solo outing in the afternoon without either of the kids (thanks to my amazing in-laws) and everybody survived.
What I've realized is that I need to just slow down, breathe and enjoy this ride. There is no way I can enjoy life spending all my time worrying about everybody's wellbeing, when I am not taking care of my own wellbeing. All the energy that I expend on this worry is not going to solve anything.
Just taking the time out of my day to go walk through the neighborhood, I ran into 4 people that I know (my two neighbors and two coworkers), enjoyed a nice afternoon coffee and treat and was hit on by a friendly older gentleman. I think this was all I needed to snap out of it. I have been in this postpartum funk lately and today was my breakthrough.
Each day, I am going to wake up, eat good food, play with my kids and enjoy this time. I am never going to get this quality time back, so I will just take everything day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.
