You know, we all put so much pressure on ourselves to do too much. I’ve been so bummed I haven’t’ had the time to work on my blog and post last week even though my mind was filling with ideas!
Last week was so busy because Brett was traveling a few nights, and the kids’ activities started up, too. So that means Soccer field on Tuesday and Thursday, Golf for Reece on Tuesdays, Dance on Wednesday. It’s a lot to juggle.
It means extra pick up days at school.
Less time at the gym.
More time in the kitchen cooking dinner, making lunches and meal prepping.
And hardly any down time.
I’m really thankful for the help when I can get it. And it’s not always easy for me to ask for help. I feel like I can/should do it all.
But we all need to accept it when it’s available or go easier on ourselves when things don’t go to plan. For anyone else who needs a pep talk this week… go easy on yourselves, you are doing just fine!
I needed a pep talk for sure last week to keep me going (Thanks Tricia!) and it helped so much to just hear someone support me and tell me that everything is going to be ok.
Anyways, I’ve had a wonderful weekend and I hope you did too!
We had fun at birthday parties on Saturday.
And that night went to Escape Goat, an escape room in Winter Garden, which was super fun. We all put our heads together and finished on hard with 15 mins to spare.
It was worthy of a celebration at Attic Door afterwards for good food and drinks.
Sunday we celebrated my Dad’s birthday with brunch at Cafe Tu Tu Tango, which was definitely lively and fun. After the mimosas were flowing the parents really got into it, ha!
And that night we did our family fantasy football draft. We are ready for another year of competition and a great football season.
This week my mantra is “do what you can, and give yourself a break when you can’t do it all.” I’m hoping to remember this when I just run out of gas at the end of the day and think about all I’ve accomplished instead of everything that I didn’t.
Cheers to a great week!
Here’s to a super great week for us all!
Still no baseball 🙄
