I have been going to so many seminars and lectures about time management, and really focusing on figuring it out. The last seminar I took made it all clear, it is all about priorities, and especially as a mom, sometimes putting our needs aside to make sure everything runs smoothly and everyone is happy.
Things have to flow, a mom has to be the conductor of that flow, that is really the course that should be given. Making mom's aware, that it is a day by day thing, and whenever there is time, then look at the list of to do's and whatever takes priority goes first. It is also so important to let go of the pressure and frustration if things do not go perfect - THERE IS NO SUCH THING! Honestly, Perfect is Boring :) How can we grow, learn, excel, and know that there is another side of things if we do not know what does not work?
So today I REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY wanted to go to my teacher's Yoga class. I finally had the opportunity, my usual client is out of town, and there was a way that I could make it happen. My baby is getting bigger and I think my back and shoulders are really feeling it, plus just the non stop with the kids over Passover vacation, I was excited to do some Yoga just for me.
We all woke up at 6:30am, the kids had to be dressed, lunches ready by 8:30am, the Yoga class was at 9:30am. I could have grabbed the baby, ran some Herbalife to my client, who said it was OK for me to come at 7:30am and still make it to the Yoga class. I had to really evaluate what was the best for everybody, I had to work at my children's school at 11am, and we were meeting our cousins for pizza after school at 2pm.
The baby needed to have breakfast, the kids needed their clothes picked out and their lunches made. My husband gives them their daily shower and takes them to school, and spends the rest of the day preparing our house and meals for Shabbat. I also had to help him with some administrative work for his clients.
Also if I had gone to Yoga I couldn't take my baby, there is no more kids club at that gym, so my husband would have to have compromised his busy day for an hour and a half.
I decided to help the day be smooth for all and for the kids to have fun, and to do my Yoga with my teacher this coming Wednesday morning at another club where they do have a kids club for my baby. Once the kids left for school I got me and the baby ready, drove to downtown to my client, and made it just in time to work at the school. The funny thing is I really enjoy working in the school office, the baby is sleeping, I get some quiet and to sit down, I love seeing the teachers to their creative magic. Who knew? I used to loathe office work, and I am actually really good at it. Sitting for a few hours is such a treat!
Thank God tomorrow is Shabbat, our Day of Rest, I am having all the kids go to Synagogue with my husband, and I am sleeping in, after I help get them all ready and fed of course. Those few hours to myself of complete quiet are GOLD!
I am tired, my back and shoulders are aching, but it's all worth it!
Have a Great Weekend Everyone,
Shabbat Shalom
