Well, I survived it!  Surgery is complete.  It has been 5 days since the arthroscopic procedure on my right knee.  Other than a few scars, a few stitches, some bruising and of course swelling, I am doing great.

I have had a few days to recover at home and it has done me a wealth of good.  Not just for my knee but for my overall well being.  I felt as though I was stuck in a rut, and like a hamster, running on a hamster wheel.  I am not very good at taking a step back and reviewing my environment.  I just put myself on autopilot and plug along.

I travel 150km a day for work, manage a department of people in a fast paced environment, then come home to my family and run children around to various activities.  What I realized was, I was totally burnt out.

I read the beginning of Girl Wash your face by Rachel Hollis and she hit me right in the face…..why do I let myself break promises, plans, goals to you are never going to guess….MYSELF?

No more,  I will keep all promises to myself, I am worth that.  I always follow through with everyone but me.  I am no longer an option, no longer last person on my list of important things to worry about.

So buckle in Strong Busy Moms (dads and busy people).  I have soo many tips and tricks to help you get back on track, get organized.  Get cooking and having some fun.

Time to step off of the hamster wheel, join me in a crazy, exhilarating journey!  I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I am willing to try and find them!

Until next time,

XOXO
