Monday Motivation

After this weekend, I need motivation on two fronts today!!  I'm working on setting goals for 2012 and getting exciting to do what I can to reach them!  Once I get it settled, I'll post about it but it may have a 20 miler thrown into the mix!!

Now on the second dose of motivation I desperately need is hanging in there as a mom!  I know....terrible twos or whatever it is but this motherhood thing is kicking my butt lately!!  I love Em more than words can say don't get me wrong....and I cherish the fact that I am her mother but some days I feel so extremely defeated between getting her to eat more than snacks and getting her not to poop her pants daily....or maybe wear sleeves when it's 40 degrees out.  Any suggestions?  You know considering the fact that yesterday I was so down that I turned to my old friends.....

  1. Its rubbish to feel down and B&J are just took darn good at what they do ;-)
    I can so hear what you are saying about being "mommy" and its good to get it out, sometimes just saying it out loud makes it a little better. I've had days where I just want to not be mommy anymore either. My eldest is a super fussy eater and what he eats one day he won't the next. What I have found is that they will eat and won't starve themselves. Some weeks mine will only eat carbs, the next only veg & fruit (more a rarity these days though!), and the next only protein .....
    It does sound like she is testing your boundaries and learning what she can and can't get away with. Be strong xxx

  7. I wish I could say it gets better, the battles just seem to change. It IS worth it! Keira wanted to wear a sundress yesterday, and it is a good day if Soren only poops in his pants once. Neither eat much.
