I missed 2 Mamavation Monday posts in a row…1 I was overwhelmed and 1 I was out of town. I haven’t been to a Mamavation TV show since the end of May-the audio for my computer only works when it wants to and it never seems to work on Monday nights lately. ow tomorrow night from 8-10pm is another Mamavation Twitter Party announcing our newest Mamavation Moms and I won’t be there because I have plans we made a year ago!
I’m feeling like the worst Sista ever and I’m waiting for Leah to kick me out of the Sistahood. 🙁 I haven’t even gotten weighed these last 2 weeks and I’ve worked out occasionally and I get in all my water every day and I am still eating well 90% of the time.
I am just overwhelmed. There is too much on my plate and my blogging and social media life is being ignored but…that is also what adds more stress because I have products to review and people counting on me to get things done in a timely manner. As I am writing this post at 6:26pm on Sunday evening, I am getting texts because I am supposed to be somewhere else but I felt I needed to explain my recent absence.
This summer job that I took because we need the money is exhausting me and even when I am home being mom, wife, maid and taxi driver I’ve not been much good to anybody…let alone my online family. I know this is just a season…and I’m at the half way point…6 weeks left. When the walls start closing in and deadlines loom the stress starts rising and normally I would jump in with both feet and power through the work. Lately I am so tired I just curl up in a ball and go to sleep, and get further behind.
I want to thank my Sistas who keep checking up on me via Twitter. I haven’t deserted you and I thank you for not deserting me. I will keep moving forward. My goals for this week are to drink my water and survive. We have events every night this week…starting with right now..I need to get going. I am going to Keep moving forward, and I hope you do too.
the hardest part of being a mom is figuring how to juggle it all. just be here when you can. thats the beauty of mamavation we are here for you and we are not going anywhere

Oh wow. Sounds like you’re in the middle of a serious rough patch right now. But hey, life goes in cycles, and you’ll be back to a place where you can take care of you…when it comes, try and snatch it!

Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself. Life happens! We as moms do things with the best of intentions and we certainly aren’t perfect. 🙂
{{hug}} Everything can definitely get overwhelming and be too much stress, so don’t beat yourself up, just stay focused and find a routine or schedule that works! You can do it!

Ya know what? You’re doing awesome!!! Why? ‘Cause in the face of everything youre doing you’re still eating well 90% of the time – when life gets hectic it’s more important to just focus on not gaining, then you can focus back on losing when things slow down. That way you always go down over time 🙂

I think you are doing fantastic. We as mom’s have so much on our plates… and it is hard to juggle it all… and occasinally a ball (or two or three) will fall. That is okay, it happens. We learn from this and move on. I hope your week(s) get better and look forward to getting to know you better. 🙂

Girl I am so behind w/ Mamavation posts and stuff that I had to come back to your post to read it because I didn’t read any post last week. WE all get overwhelmed, and I am going to speak for Leah on this, you will have to do A LOT more than miss a couple weeks to get kicked out of Mamavation. HUGS
I hope things settle down for you and you can get your groove back.
