Restful day

As a Mom I find that guilt free rest is rare. Yes I may sit down and rest but it is usually accompanied by a feeling of wow I suck, I should be doing laundry, cleaning out the pantry closet, calling an old friend. ANYTHING but resting.

However, I found the guilt free way. Get sick. YEP. I have full on head cold with chest congestion and I am going to park myself on the couch and NOT feel bad about all the things I am not doing. Even gave the pass of a no workout day which is hard for me. But listening to my body and all is good. Going to enjoy it and not be upset about it. Since it is rare.

A friend of mine once told me that her Mom told her guilt was a selfish emotion. I believe I could feel guilty about anything. Which means I must be one selfish bitch.

The Beginning

So hear it is....I while back after giving birth to my second child I was going a touch nutty. I found the world of blogs and started reading some, then i started writing my own. It was great fun, I was making connections, writing for some papers websites and such, going to companies functions to review their products.

It was very helpful to have other folks who understood what I was going through, a community. No judgement. I was doing it all anonymously, so I felt free to really be me. Then someone found me out, that changed it for me. Then I started reconnecting with the world and had other things I was focused on. I stopped blogging. But, I was still reading the blogs I enjoyed (quite a few), then google reader went away and so did me reading any blogs.

However, of late I keep feeling the need to get feelings out on paper. Not just feelings, but share ideas about my passions, parenting, health and nutrition. So I might just try again.
