Goddess
Heard in yoga today: reverse warrior, also known as goddess pose, because it asks you to stay strong while bending over backward :-)

Do moms take days off?
To say I've been stressed lately would be an understatement. Sleep deprived and constantly feeling less than stellar at my job, I've been neglecting myself a bit. So, I decided last weekend I would take today off.
Challenge #1: if I take a day off and put Jack in daycare am I a bad mom?
Challenge #2: mr growth spurt has used up my whole milk supply ... So I must pump lots today
Challenge #3: to do list- groceries, clean car, nap, fold wash, pedicure, brows, haircut....,and pump!
What's a mom to do? This was my "day off"
- decided I'd take some time to myself but first enjoy a leisurely morning with Jack. Verdict: win. He had more nursing time and the morning was unrushed with extra cuddle and play time.
- went to a yoga class. Verdict: win. Karen taught a beautiful class and it helped me clear my head.
- lunch at home and out to get my pedi. Verdict? Neutral. Pedi was lovely but I wanted to be quiet and enjoy the massage chair and instead the guy yabbered on about his life to me. But still happy I went. As are my toes!
- to Wegs for groceries and a second lunch (breastfeeding makes me hungry!) of their fabulous sushi and a piece of dark chocolate. Became very tired at this point. Decided to skip the haircut, pump and go home. Verdict: win, I was very tired and needed a nap. And I truly love grocery shopping... Weird only to those of you that arent blessed with a weggies.
- get home. Time to unload groceries, fold wash, then a nap. I decide to only do a half hour because i really want to pick jack up early. Verdict: not a win. I could have slept more because jack was sleeping when I got there! And as hard as I tried to not disturb he popped
Awake as a put him in his carseat. Alas.
All in all- great day. Lesson? Go with the flow, make decisions from joy not guilt and joy will
Follow!
PS: more cuddles at home and the little guy went back down!
