Are you a Scatter Brained Mom?

I have so many things that I intend to do everyday. Usually they just end up as thoughts and never amount to anything. I will be honest I used to be a super active, over achieving, busy body. I have been a stay at home mom for almost 3 years now. My first round of being a SAHM  I was super busy. I ran an in home daycare with lots of planning and structure for my daycare kids to make things run smoothly. I later returned to work as it was feasible with one child and frankly I like to work.
Well when baby #2 came it was no longer feasible for me to work. We would have less money with me staying home but our kids would be raised by me. That was important to me as my Mom was a working Mom like so many other moms out there. With a new baby I was busy and I think I was trying to prove myself as a SAHM. I would make sure the house was always spic and span, grocery shopping always done, nice dinners every night, made sure I spent quality time with my oldest so she didn't feel left out with the new baby.
Then things started to change. I didn't notice really at the time but I was becoming extremely lazy. I still took a shower and got ready every day because that was important to me. But I was lazy as in house work, cleaning has never been something I really enjoy. My house wasn't filthy just not clean and organized. Was I spending enough quality time with each child? Dinners were not as nice and fancy as they used to be. Grocery shopping...ugh I hate taking my kids to the store with me. My patience has definitely shortened. My body I let it get out of control. So this is my NEW LIFE. This blog will help me be an out to express my creativity. (Not a strong point) I will talk about things I do with my kids, my business as a Romance Consultant, (I help imp[rove relationships...awesome right?) Healthy Meals, and fitness tips I am using to get my body to where I want it to be, and any other things that some to mind in this little scatter brain.
