Finding YOU!

  Hey boo!! Sometimes you gotta just do you! You're a busy mom and wife. You have a full time 9-5! When do you have time to do you? I know right! It's down right impossible to fine "ME" time. I mean dang, I can't even pee without someone calling for mama or Mrs. Teston. Yes, my students have literally stalked me to the teacher restroom before and knocked on the door just to ask me a question. (3rd grade) Do the kids get to watch their favorite cartoons or play their video games? Does the hubby have time to sit in his chair and scroll FB or research his next home improvement project? Then, you should have some YOU time. Do SOMETHING to BUILD yourself physically! Take a 30 minute walk, do a home-workout, go to the gym after work BEFORE you get home, do an online yoga class, join in a ZUMBA session. Whatever fits your fancy! Just do something physical and get those endorphins going! While your running kids to and from extracurriculars listen to YOUR music or a podcast. Turn off the radio and read a book. Listen, I've ran kids to and from for years, rarely does practice ever end when coach said it will. Heck, I was a coach and I set a time for "pick up" just to ensure parents would be there to pick up their kids when practice was really over. Sorry, I was that coach... But hey, look at the bright side, this time can now be you time! When the walls start closing in, GET OUT!! Go play in the dirt or flower beds, grow a garden, or pull some weeds. In the south, we like to go ride dirt roads and shoot the breeze. Go for a walk around your neighborhood. Or maybe even take the kids fishing. Just get some fresh air. Drop everything and JUST GO! You were made to do awesome and amazing things! Know that, believe that, and live that! Consider the fact that you are one choice away from a completely different life! That’s because good choices (and bad choices) tend to be like dominos! No body is waiting around to do it for you. Empower yourself make positive choices for your mind, body, and soul.
