Self care is where I struggle as a SAHM of two. My time and attention is divided completely among two other humans. Sometimes, I can't even find the time to sit and eat lunch on my own. I often feel like I'm running on fumes and the fact that I can only find the time to wash my hair twice a week is more of a reminder of how much of myself I sacrifice. 

I can't be a good parent if I don't have energy to give them. I can't look after two people if I don't look after myself, even a little bit. 

So my goal for this month is to force myself to take at least 20 minutes a day-be it for a glass of wine and a bath, a face mask, or just alone time to catch up on a show. And then see how that effects my overall self image and energy. 

When we found out where my husband was being stationed, I was less than excited. In all honesty, some days I still hate it. But I've learned to look at this as an adventure. If we have to stay here, why not make the most of it! We were paid to move here, and he is paid to stay here. Instead of continuously loathing this state, I'm starting to see the beauty of it. We're even buying a house which is an adventure in adulthood all its own! 

Why spend so much effort hating where I'm at? My adventure is learning to embrace this experience and cherish this opportunity to live outside my comfort zone!
