As a mom of 4 daughters and one grand daughter, I have just realized how much I do for everyone else in my life an how little I do for myself. I know I have stated in previous posts I was going to take more time for me to be able to rejuvenate myself. But old habits do die hard. A lot of things are going on all of the time and I do feel like I am going a 100 miles a minute. I don't want to sound like I am complaining, I love my family, I love my life, just feeling a little run down and I think I am upset in the back of  my mind that my family is not seeing the signs that mom maybe needs some help. But like a good mom I pick up my boot straps and charge forward. I guess from now on I will say there is always tomorrow for what does not get done today. I am watching my children grow and become young adults and it just amazes me to see how my children have grown. I still have a  5 year old at home, boy is it different raising children and being in your forties LOL. But she is a challenge and a joy all rolled up into one. Some days I don't have the energy for her, that is when I say, Cheryl, that is why you are doing so many workouts so you can keep up with this little bundle of joy. And a joy she is, she was a surprise to me and her father, but she came just at the right time, many family issues was going on and she gave us something else to focus on. To all the moms out there that do so much for there family and ask so little in return, my hats off to you. Hug yourself and do something special for yourself.
