So, hi. How’ve ya been?
Let me tell you, it’s been a ::sigh:: long week.
Andy was out of town from Saturday through Wednesday. I thought I did pretty well. In fact, I thought I accomplished more than usual. That might be true, but the headache I got today… yeah. I guess the stress built into one big ball at the base of my neck. I had the same headache last time he was out of town for more than one night.
That’s what I do with stress. Swallow it down and plow forward, like maybe if I don’t sit or breath I won’t have time to feel overwhelmed. I have a feeling I’m not alone in that department, right ladies?
Now, I’m sitting here with my spa heated neck wrap thingy hoping that a good night sleep will mean I won’t wake up with the same headache again tomorrow.
Anyway… I just wanted to check in and tell you a few things:
- I miss you and need to find a little more time to read and write in the future
- WE’RE STILL ON FOR #aHeartFitFriday TOMORROW!!!
- Though a hectic week, I managed to make it to the gym more than once AND I <3 ZUMBA!
- I’m cloth diapering after a bit of a hiatus and I want to talk about that
- I need advice for my toddler in the potty training department!!
That’s all for now. I hope to see you link up tomorrow or in the days following! Or just talking on Instagram or Twitter about your fitness goals or how your feeling and any advice if you’re already where you want to be fitness wise with our hashtag (#aHeartFitFriday).
Oh honey! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been overwhelmed this week! Please, please, please use fb to let some of what you’re feeling out. I may not be able to run to you to physically help, but I can most definitely be supportive and talk you up to face the every day challenges of parenthood especially when the hubby is away! So vent! Vent! Vent!
those headaches are definitely stressed induced! Did the heating pad help any?
About potty training some kids need a little more encouragement than others! I know with Lucas I made a poster and hung it on the bathroom wall, I gave him happy faces every time he made it to the potty. I also got a bunch of dollar toys and such to give as rewards when he hada good week! That seemed to encourage him! Of course I later what to slowly wean him out of that reward system but he learned to go potty by the time he was 2 1/2 approaching 3! I really stuck to my routine with him because otherwise they would not move him up to preschool level at the daycare he went to!
Thanks Jeanette! I know, I should. I honestly didn’t have much time to breath last week to get online and vent. Thank you so much for your words. You always know exactly what to say
I also <3 Zumba! There is a dance studio kinda near me in Lawrenceville that I LOVE LOVE LOVE, but it's too hard to get to multiple times a week
That’s the problem. I feel like the classes are never at convenient times! There was a studio right next to the Chinese place we used to go to when we lived closer to you, which was the first time I ever saw a class in action.
Do you remember the name of the Chinese place or the studio? It might be worth checking out if its closer to me (like Princeton or Plainsboro area).
The shopping center was Manor’s corner in Lawrenceville. It was closer to Pennington, though. I don’t know if that’s closer for you or not?
Hang in there! Solo parenting for several days is a big challenge and you did great! Try and give yourself a break. I am glad he is back and that you are enjoying zumba
I gave up on cloth for nighttime, he and our sheets were always damp, so he is n ow in a disposable at night 
Whatever, I can’t handle everything! Hang in there!
It is so hard! Every time he goes away it gives me an even greater appreciation for single moms. It also reminds me that it’s ok to need help.
Exactly! You can only do so much. I don’t even try at night. Dylan always soaked through and woke up with a rash. Wyatt doesn’t pee as much though, so maybe one of these days I’ll give it a shot. We’ll see…
