being okay.
somedays i feel like i worry.
and i worry about things. alot of things.
and worrying is so ridiculous.
then there are days like today where i just feel inspired.
and here are the things i remember today and that i need to keep in mind next time i worry:
it is okay if i miss a day, a week, a month of exercise. i am not going to magically gain 3500 pounds. unless my thyroid acts up again, and then it might really happen.
it is okay to go get an ice cream cones with your kids and let them play on the dirty germie slides.
it is okay to once in a while go to mcdonalds and eat a happy meal with my kids, so they don't feel like their mom is freaky, and so they can enjoy the cute box, and the cool toy you get with your food. and the hi C punch just is so good. it really is.
it is important to be outside. i want my kids to look at the clouds, sleep under a tree, run in the wind, and plant a garden. be barefoot in the dirt.
it is important to play outside in the cold. and have fun, and be cold and then come in and get warm.
it is also okay of some days we do nothing, but play.
it is okay that i like the smell of pine sol, and that i love to open my blinds and let the sun in, even though it might fade my furniture.
it is okay that i don't like hgtv.
it is okay that i love bright white walls, and pots and pans and blenders and toasters and pictures with bright colors.
it is okay that i am always on the lookout for perps, bad guys, burglers etc. and that i have a police scanner.
it is okay that some days my girls stay in their jamma's till lunch time is over.
it is okay that i love cloudy days, and bad weather. (minus tornados and flooding.)
it is okay that i love when the power goes out.
i guess it is okay that it never does.
it is okay that i am still trying to figure out how to eat on less then $100 d0llars a week.
it is okay that i am still trying to figure out how to get everything done, before nine o'clock at night.
i like being okay.
happy happy thursday!

I always love reading your posts.. but this one was especially good! Brynlee has still never played on a germie slide and she has never had a kids meal.. that is so NOT ok :) you are great
p.s. is it ok that I too stay in my jammies until after lunch time?? :)
i really liked this post. i need to remember that it is okay to go to mcdonalds without my hand sani.
I love this post!!! I let my kids play on the germy slides too much. And we're cutting back on our McD's.
And I don't wanna gain a zillion pounds in a day either {but some days it feels like I will!}
And $100/week for groceries? Cake.
