Balancing Act

So, I'm a hot mess. I always try to handle everything by myself. I'm a military spouse so I'm use to being alone and doing what needs to me done...I know my other wives understand. You're married, but have a roommate that's never home. You're married, but a single parent. You learn to deal and do. My distress; however, is not being alone and doing it by myself. It is actually relinquishing the idea that I am alone and must do it by myself. I have a terrific support system and many friends who are willing and ready to lend a hand. But do I call on them? No! I'd rather be hardheaded. This only leads to more stress and utter dismay.


Well, I started this blog as a creative outlet. I used to write. I enjoyed it. I stopped for YEARS! I want to revisit writing and the enjoyment out of it I once experienced. This blog has no style and will most likely be all over the place until I figure out what I am doing. Mostly I am allowing my thoughts to travel through my fingertips into the key board. Hoping in the end that I have written something cohesive to the idea behind this adventure. Hats. Multitasking. Being which ever person called upon for or during a situation. 


Writing every 1 to 3 days. That's my goal. I struggle. I struggle with the notion that blogging is a waste of time? Am I neglecting my child? Could this time be put to better use? Does anyone really care what I have to say? Does it matter? I thought I was writing to revisit the enjoyment blah blah. Your words. I end up having a ridiculous argument with myself. I can't be quite stubborn! I never get to win!


Anyway. Point is I have a lot going on. My full-time job of being a wife and mother. Yes, it is a real job thank you very much! My part-time going on full-time job of being a Zumba® Fitness instructor. Personal Training on the side. The very FAR side! Last and could be least, this blog. How do I balance it all? How do other women in similar situations do it? Please share your secrets!!!!!!!

Vitamins

Vitamins are essential organic substances required in small amounts in our diet for normal function, growth, and maintenance of our body. Vitamin supplements are very popular, but not necessary if your diet is rich in fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads and cereals. The best choice it always to eat a balanced diet, rather then relying on multivitamin supplements.

Restart

I haven't been able to keep up with most of my responsibilities these past 2 months. Today Elora is 2 months old. She has nearly doubled her weight and is finally starting to get those adorable rolls. She is a very happy and active child. Only fusses of cries when hungry or needs changing. She outgrew her preemie outfits and almost too big for her newborn ones. Looks like I need to purge her wardrobe again and unpack her 0-3 month outfits.

I'm finally catching up on everything that I have let fall to the wayside. I have plans for May! I am back to teaching my Zumba Fitness classes and I'm about to start picking up my old clients. I miss training.

I have less then 10 pounds to go to be back at my pre-pregnancy weight. Almost back into my old clothes. More on that later.

5.5 weeks post pregnancy

My husband's new hobby - amateur photography. He really enjoyed it during high school and the birth of our child was the perfect excuse for him to get back into it. He has a good eye and he is improving.
