Over the last two weeks I’ve seen some really great mom post
so I wanted to share them here with you all...
Ok now let’s dissect these two mom voices.
When you watched the video or read the article what’s your
first reaction as a mom?
When in mommy mode do you take time for yourself? Would you
put your own oxygen mask on first?
I can tell you now my first thought is my child so in my
mind I always figured that I’d disregard the flight attendants advice and put
my baby mask on first. Right, wrong, or indifferent I’d rather sacrifice myself
first, and when I said this to myself I thought...if you are not whole how will
you take care of her Sheena. This
thought then lead into many other thoughts and internal back and forth with me
lol. However, seeing/reading these mom
perspectives let me know its ok to take care of me sometimes and made me think
about the ways I choose to take of me.
The biggest thought that came to mind for me was I take care
of me by looking forward to Monday’s lol.
You can judge if you want to. However, believe me when I say this, there
is no greater love for me than the one I have for my daughter, she gives me so
much joy, she is the light of my life, and I just love her life. She’s by far
my greatest accomplishment but after a weekend of busy little Liv, Monday’s are
just what the doctor ordered. I get to recuperate and recharge my batteries for
another week of toddler goodness with my External Heartbeat.
