It’s Sunday again, and I’ve been keeping up with SPS lately. No smiles this week. The hives are returning. What a fabulous Mother’s Day gift for me. I’ve got hives on my eyes!! I made a run to the drug store and bought a big ole box of Benedryl and I”m trying that before I resort to going to the doctor to get shot full of super strength Benedryl and Prednisone again.

I really hate being on the steroids all the time, it made me hungry and thirsty constantly, and I think I gained a good ten pounds in that two week period. But, at least I wasn’t itchy!! And not being itchy was so…. wonderfully amazing! I’m only slightly itchy compared to my last trip to the doctor, but now that I remember what it’s like to be hive free this little bit is just making me miserable today.

And it’s Mother’s Day. The boys got up all early and made breakfast and brought it to me. My kids definitely know me, they brought me favorite thing, peanut butter toast and a banana. Such sweet little boys I have. Then they checked on me every ten seconds to see if I had eaten it yet. I got the usual construction paper cards with wonderful letters from them inside, and Ethan painted a butterfly keychain for me at school. So, other than being itchy and blurry eyed, it’s been a good day with my little guys.

Happy Mother’s day to all the Mommies out there!

Find the Time Mama

You love being a mom. It's one of the best things in the world and you'd never turn it in for any other life. Me too!

But, there's no need to strive to be Super Woman or to put on any fronts that's it's all a breeze. Fact of the matter is, being a mom, a spouse, the cook, cleaner, nurse, chauffeur, bookkeeper, event planner, organizer and [fill in the blank with your many duties here] is not always easy. All those roles and duties can really wear you out (even if you love doing them) and make you feel like there's no time left over to do the things you want to do.

Now is the time to get your Find the Time Mama guide and start making changes.
