Getting Back to Me

A month of continuous illness rotating through my house and I have come to realize that a sense of normalcy might be the key to feeling less chaotic and stressed. The road to normalcy: creating a weekly schedule (check), including at least one social activity for Emma on said schedule (check), ease back into exercising after almost two years of little-to-no exercise (check). I realize life will continue to be gloriously chaotic and we raise two babies less than a year apart, but this will reduce some of the stress that I have some control over.

In order to get back into exercising, and getting in some activities that I personally enjoy, I will begin AM and PM yoga (before the kids wake up and after the kids are in bed), as well as belly dancing. Any kind of dancing would tickle my fancy, but belly dancing is currently what is on Comcast On Demand Exercise TV under Dance, and I used to actually be fairly good at it. Maybe that will be key in helping me lose the almost impossible to lose pooch left over from the cesarean section. If not, I will have a great time trying at least!

Next on the path to getting things under control:
Laundry:
Laundry has been impossible to get under control since I've had Emma last October over a year ago. Somehow there just doesn't appear to be time. I am still having to figure out how to conquer that one. Any ideas on that one?

Making sure I follow the schedule I created, otherwise that was a waste of time, but kept me busy while simultaneously watching late night television.

I am enjoying the new changes in my life, while also slightly scared, but that's the fun part of life right? The journey and the new challenges and experiences we face...and I am thoroughly enjoying mine!
