I didn't plan on blogging tonight as the day was far too busy.
Little Urijah gave me quite the fun time by managing to fill our toilet with diapers and the rest of what was in the rubbish bin. Once I managed to get all of that out and put him in the bath, I flushed the toilet and it started to overflow. I suppose he must've gotten a toy stuck in there. So when I ran off to call maintenance, he flushed the toilet himself while laughing histerically at the overflowing water. My panic mode was also quite a comedy for him. Luckily the maintanence office was still open and they arrived to a bathroom with a happy toddler in the bath, a panicked mom and a flood of water making it's way to our bedroom. Every towel in the house was on the floor but there was just far too much water! Luckily Zuri was peacefully asleep in her crib. Which is great because just a few moments before the water episode she had let out one of those newborn explosive diaper poops! Oh boy!
How awesome is this post? Hope you weren't reading it while having lunch or something.
So that was part of my day. Now these little ones are finally asleep and I get to open up my laptop and get working on my business which is helping some deserving women lose some weight. Nothing makes me happier then receiving an email/text or whatsapp message letting me know that someone has reached their goal weight. It makes me all giddy inside. Not just because of the physical but because I know how hard each woman has worked to regain their confidence and feel comfortable within their bodies. That feeling is just priceless!
So this post is really to check in and to let my future great grandchildren know that motherhood is a crazy amazing journey. Every mother is not the same and it is important to look within and be the best that you can be. You need to learn to understand yourself and what makes you happy. I love being a stay at home working mother. For a long time I concentrated solely on my little Urijah and that was glorious. Yet, there was a part of me I was missing. Some moms don't have that feeling. But I had to admit to myself that I'm the kind of person who likes to have an influence outside of my home. I enjoy working and connecting with other women. I'm a born change agent and when I tuck that talent under the rug then I fizzle into an unhappy little prune. A fire dims and this year I decided to ignite it because I want my children to grow up knowing who their mother really is. I want to teach them by example so that they too can have the confidence to live life by design and not by default. So this is me writing to you and saying that it's ok for you to be you.
Do what makes you happy mama. A happy mom will raise happy children. This I know. Don't ask me how, I just know it in my heart.
