(You know me and country music- it doesn't take much!) Amilia is the EXACT same way when I drop her off at our YMCA. They have actually had to come and get me twice now because she was crying so hard and wouldn't stop. It's so hard!! It makes me feel so selfish for trying to get in a little "me time". BUT, I do realize that that time is so very important for me as a mom. WHen I get my workouts in and can use that outlet for my stresses and frustrations of everyday life, it does wonders for me and, I think, makes me a better mom for it. Better to take it out on the elliptical or treadmill than my little girl! :) Lately, Amilia has been fussy which has been really hard because she's normally the happiest little girl, so it's at these times I take a few minutes and look through her newborn photos (sometimes even when she's screaming in the background). This helps me to remember how fast time has flown and when she's 13 and totally embarassed to have me speak to her in public- I will want this time again! :)heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233417711747500666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983151005451864301.post-16306823450823260032009-07-20T07:24:46.554-04:002009-07-20T07:24:46.554-04:00Our posts seem to have a reoccurring theme this we...Our posts seem to have a reoccurring theme this week!
