Finding My Inner Strength

Dear Moms,

Have you ever sat and thought about the things that you have been able to achieve? The goals you have met, the things you thought you would NEVER be able to do- but did?! They have recorded instances in which moms obtain almost superhuman strength when their children are in danger- like trapped under a piano, or a car or some junk. I mean, I personally never thought I would be able to survive a HUMAN BEING coming out of my va-jay-jay; but oddly enough I DID IT! TWICE! Lol I also NEVER believed that I would be able to successfully make it through a Cesarean Section...but I did that too- THREE TIMES to be exact! But, that's neither here nor there... I am thinking more along the lines of actual practices that you initially thought could not be done by you and then, lo and behold YOU DID IT?!

Isn't it the BEST feeling in the world? Don't you just SWELL with pride? Don't you feel like a freaking SUPER HERO?! I have been getting that surge during this last week because I am redoing my bathroom! I am doing mud work, for the walls- plastering and filling... I had done my kitchen about three years ago in the same manner, but that time I had a bit of help to pick up the slack in the areas I was unfamiliar. THIS TIME- I am doing the WHOLE job! I have been spreading mud and doing a DAMN good job!! I am exceptionally proud of the job I have been doing and have done! I mean, HONESTLY- I have been kicking ass and taking names in that bathroom! I have been making that MUD my bitch!!

But, in the interim I have been noticing that I am truly stronger than I thought I was. I have been able to rebound from a seriously awful breakup, and I am making my way into new adventures and avenues that have truly surprised me. I have been pulling myself out of a funk that I honestly never thought I would emerge from simply by trying things that I have never tried before. I have been able to draw strength from achieving things I would have never thought possible and I have been able to watch myself grow in ways that I would never have thought I would.

Personal growth should NEVER stop, we are capable of learning and growing well into our adult lives. Taking up challenges keeps our minds sharp, and allows us to feel competent into our golden years! Plus, being willing to try and learn new things is always a great way to be a role model for our children!! That's always a plus- especially with us being driven to day drinking due to homework, potty training, teething, sibling fights, the kids BREATHING... lol ok, maybe I'm the only one setting a poor example with MY day drinking! LOL Either way, you get my drift!

Until Next Time- try some new sh*t!!

Dear Moms,  OMIGERD!! I have been swamped! Let me fill ya in: I am STILL in school full time, for my Graphic Arts Associates Degree.  I am getting the kids ready for a brand spanking new school year in an entirely new city AND state. I am getting my company: Essential Bath Elements off of the ground. I am working with the susband (soon to be husband) on both the ministry AND the cleaning company.  Oh- and did I forget to mention that I am MOVING?? AGAIN?!? Yeah, moving- once again. We have been in this house for a little under six months...but, the landlord was doing fraudulent things by renting it out during a foreclosure. Long story short, Fannie Mae purchased our home and then asked if we would like to continue renting, OR they offered us, "relocation assistance" to move. $$$$$ Cha-CHING! I was ready to pack while we were still on the phone with the broker! 👀 Am I alone?! Hands? Needless to say, I am scouting places for boxes and taking art...

Migraine and Anemia Rantings  Dear Moms, I recently had to face the truth about the seriousness of living with anemia. I have had anemia my entire life and never knew the true depths of how ugly it can get. I have discovered in my research, that living with anemia is wrought with hidden pitfalls that deplete the body's natural iron levels. Seemingly, every other thing one puts in their mouths on a daily basis is a culprit; robbing the body of iron. Soda, cow's milk, tannins in tea and coffee, and omeprazole (active ingredient in Prilosec an OTC heartburn medication) all deplete your iron levels. So, having an already depleted blood iron content (being anemic) and enjoying the ingestion of the abovementioned items... ¡No es bueno! Anemia is linked to restless leg syndrome and also known to be a cause of Anxiety and Depression. It causes insomnia, and even migraines! And all this time my mother just said I was "special" lol I was obviously being driven mad by ...
