Hydration...

I am sitting here and I am currently reflecting on today's events that have passed......

Got up at insane hour - 5am
Entertained/Fed/Diaper Changed Baby Raphael
Encouraged Elijah to use the Potty, and he is doing awesome and all on his own now
Fed him too
Got diaper Bag ready
Cleaned Kitchen
Cleaned one three year old's bedroom
Got kids dressed for Church
Got myself ready
Went to Church
Came home
Baby slept, Elijah went out with his Uncle David

House was quiet

An intense headache rose within me and I realized I was not being a good "mommy" to myself and remembering to stay hydrated all those times.....

How often as a mother do we forget to stop and take care of ourselves?
I mean I wake up and do pretty much everything the same everyday, it varies if Elijah has school or appointments come up, and I often find myself mid-day feeling either light headed or weak or all of the above.....

Then my darling husband will ask with that added touch of wit "well have you had anything to eat yet or drink dear?"

And of course he knows the answer, he has just watched me run ramped all morning and knows how I am, my motto is get things done in the morning, so that the afternoon is free for me to take the kids outside etc.....and I am often a freight train, I mean I am on this track each day and I am so determined to make sure everything gets done, except one thing.....I always forget me!

But that is sometimes what being a mom is about....

I am currently getting geared up for a newly added activity to my list, Elijah starts Soccer tomorrow night...he is on team Purple and he is so excited!

Pictures to come....

Well...........

It is such a nice day today......thinking of my friend Heather and her outside digging in the dirt potting plants for her plant sales......

Now I must go and savor this quiet home, because a noisy Elijah is bound to come barreling in at any minute!!!

Ta ta for now...
