Therapy

I sought out my own therapy today. I decided to color with chalk.  I had a moment to be extremely bored and I was also alone outside. All the kids were occupied doing something.  The girls were both with a friend and the boys were playing with the boys across the street.

 This keeps happening more and more. The kids playing off with other kids, which is totally fine by me. I just have to make sure I have eyes or ears on the boys. They’ve been extra rowdy this week. (Side story-they have been going puddle hunting and I can’t keep up on their laundry! 🤦🏼‍♀️) 

Anyway- back to my therapy. I was kinda proud at my stars. That’s what I like to doodle when I have chalk. They’re bright and bring life to my driveway. Wow that sounded so cliche. 

Henry was the one who snapped a picture. I didn’t ask him to or prompt it. All the kids kept asking who decorated the drive. They were slightly shocked that their own mom would do such a thing. It’s like I’m not allowed to have down time or do something I enjoy. 😂 

I got lost in my thoughts while coloring. I kept thinking about being on the treadmill this morning and how the music just sort of pulsed through me. It felt amazing. I had my headphones on but I blasted my voice. Isabelle even looked at me and said “sshhh” 😳. I decided to then debut to her my lip syncing skills. 

Anyway-I had two very good therapeutic sessions that I did for myself at home. We all need to do this. Self care is so vital-especially during all this insane stuff going on around the world. 

Now I’m ready to find a good movie to watch and crash! 

Until next time!!
