#thisisforme
.
Weekends always feel the most challenging to me, being home with both kids and my husband. I feel like its two constant days of giving them my everything.
.
When I was younger weekends meant long runs and long naps, enjoying an abundance of ‘me-time’ , it was all about running and recovering, it was bliss 😂😂🤩
.
These days my weekends are filled with some of the most special moments,magical family moments. But they are also most surely followed by emotionally exhausting moments 😂🙄😶🤦🏽‍♀️ being a parent will most definitely be the hardest and most rewarding experience of your life..😮😐❤️ taking care of little emotional beings that are still learning how to deal with emotions can take so much from you yourself emotionally, I think that is the hardest part for me is the emotional part. Not the physical exhaustion, but the emotional exhaustion that is the most challenging.staying calm and in control when you yourself also just want to throw a tantrum 😶😐🤭
.
So on a Monday I get to take a breath 😅🙄😶 after dropping them off at school and kissing my husband goodbye for work, I get to go for my run -because you cant give from an empty cup - #Thisisforme

Hugs 🌸
.
These two ❤️☺️ Lily now understand what a hug is, and is is absolutely adorable, coz she just wants to give hugs☺️😅😂 and Paul love giving her hugs back 🥰🥰
.
Swipe to see all the hug / wrestling going on today, 😂 the kids look super comfy in their new @cottononkids pajamas 🌸Paul refused to take it off today, So I just left Lily in hers aswell 😂🤷🏻‍♀️
.
But as I type this, my coffee is cold and I’m sitting in the dark breastfeeding Lily (shes been awake/ asleep sice 19:50)... who seems to be coming down with flu or something 🤭😞 and my husband also doesn’t seem to be feeling well, Paul also said that he’s not feeling well but I brushed it off as him being tired coz he basically missed his nap today... and me well... I’m trying to tell myself that I’m not also getting whatever they have, because I don’t even want to think about being sick when I have to take care of others 🤭😐😶
.
Please can this day end now 😞🌸

Quick Trail ❤️
.
This morning I decided to keep driving and go for a bit of a trail run🥰 oh goodness was it nice!
.
I also loved finally testing my @asics_za Fujitrabuco Max 🤩🤩 Mannnnn these shoes are incredible!? Definitely gonna go for a longer run tomorrow to stretch them a bit further and see how they feel on going the distance. But as for my short run today, they were amazing , it felt like running on clouds! Seriously I didn’t feel any rocks, total support🤩⭐️
.
Can’t wait to review these babies further 🌸🌸

Honestly my transition from 28 to 29 and maybe still to go up to 30 feels a bit eye twitching! 🥺😂 I mean WTF people?! I’m where I’ve wanted to be for so long, what I imagined would be the best time of my life. My own business, & working with my husband on his business, two kids, with allot of flexibility in my day.
.
Every few years I’ve been able to see or realize when I’m going through a big change, a life shift if I can call it that, like new phase that gets grown into, & it is though 🙁🙁😞
.
Change & then uncertainty of the unknown has the ability to freak us out a bit. 😐😐
.
My husband & I find ourselves in a very difficult phase in out lives. Two small kids, who we love so much, but it can be allot most days, lol or every day😱😥😂😂🤭, & you won’t understand it till you’re there,
.
Complete & utter financial uncertainty. Working so hard towards things we hope will pay off in the future. Whilst were not even sure how were gonna pay some things the next month..😮😶
.
Fighting and not getting along at all, 😦😑it’s like amazing one minute and then chaos the next. Little sleep, stress, constantly putting someone else’s needs above yours. 😞it can lead you to crack hey, 😅😂🤭🤦🏽‍♀️
.
And when I saw this picture it was like a light went on... 💡 I have to stop resisting whatever changes are happening, try as hard as I can to adapt to them. Make peace with the life that I might be outgrowing 🙈😞 no matter how sad it feels to let go of things, and TRY to accept the next phase and hopefully then things will feel a bit better.
.
Becoming a Mom of two is a big shift, you give so much of yourself on a constant basis to someone else...some days I feel like I’m actually mourning my old life, 😶🥺every day after dropping the kids at school I get so caught up in the nostalgia and memories of younger years that I feel I might be overshadowing my present life, procrastinating on my current life...
.
I’m gonna try & stop that now... I need to find a new way to be confident & achieve my goals.

Night 3 of Solo patenting 😶😐
.
It has truly not been that bad, I’ve not lost my shit once with the kids😂🤩🥳so that is always a win, 😂 but what I am sorry about is missing our run tonight because of the rain, it was very light rain, but I can’t run with them in it...🤷🏻‍♀️ and the whole idea of the three of us going for a run is, it’s a way to waste some time before dinner and bath - ⭐️
.
The kids get kids get kinda emotional here close to the end of the week when my husband goes away, it’s like we all miss him and were all kinda swimming in emotions and it can clash a bit if not guided 😂🙄🤭so the pram run usually helps.
.
But tonight I ended up going to the store with them when I saw it’s raining... and we needed some pizza 😂 But it was quite the mission 🙄 Paul whines, Lily whines... Paul cries ... and so on,
.
But despite some challenges we made it to bedtime, and when Lily pushed me away when she was feeding so she can chat and make noises, I felt like crying - I really just need her to go to bed easily tonight , and then Paul said those dreadful words ‘ Mamma ek voel nie leke nie ‘ 😩😵
.
I literally went downstairs made them both a bottle, gave it to them , closed the door and left and sofar it seems they are both sleeping?🤷🏻‍♀️🤭😂🙏🏻🤞🏻 please lets hope it stays that way!

Holding Back 😐😕 . I feel like I’m for some

Holding Back 😐😕
.
I feel like I’m for some irrational reason too scared to run..🙄🙄 I’m scared of how hard it feel to get back to where I was before I got pregnant with Paul... or even before I got pregnant again with Lily..
.
Getting back into the easy and amazing running routine I had feels absolutely impossible. And that’s simply because it is... I have two kids now, and my whole lifestyle has changed, I’m sleep deprived half the time and my anxiety creeps up on me like crazy?! 🤭🙄
.
And the most absurd thing of it all is that with my new ‘career’ (haha can I even call it that?😅😂) I am so flexible to work my run in when it suits me , but still I actively try to avoid it every other day...
.
It feels so hard to get back to where I want to be, so hard in fact that the effort I need to put in scares me,I wish things were as easy as when I thought it was hard😂 when running every morning at 4-5am felt difficult 😅🤭 now I have the time yet I’m constantly holding myself back. I’m so stuck in my own head?! Why is that though?
.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it...
.
Hard work will pay off...
.
Consistency is the key...
.
All these sayings and yet no remote motivation comes up..🙈😐🤷🏻‍♀️ I honestly think Mom guilt is my biggest enabler to this consistent ‘holding-back’ behavior..🤭🙄 but I have no idea hoe to get rid of that feeling?!
.
Moms, raise your hands if you feel me? 🙋🏻‍♀️or maybe it’s just me and I’m loosing my marbles 🤭🤪😶😶

Double Stroller Run 🥵🥵
.
Today’s run was hard but I’m so glad I got to it, more like, forced myself a bit, especially after both kids were basically a bit fussy as I loaded them into the pram...🙄🤭but I’m solo parenting this week with my husband away for work , so I have to , have to force myself to stick to a routine, otherwise all hell will break loose 🤭🤭
.
So we went for a run, had dinner, bathed and in bed⭐️
.
My day didn’t work out as planned, I wanted to run this morning to kick my day off on a positive note but - it rained 🙄 and I wanted to have my diapers washed and dry by the end of the day so I could sort the washing before getting the kids from school, but it rained 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️ I also didn’t finish sewing as much as I wanted- so then my anxiety started kicking into high gear🤭😐🙈 thats when I knew, I HAD to go for a run, even if it was with both kids, otherwise I’d end up with a bad start to what could be a chaotic week 😐😅🤷🏻‍♀️
.
It was hard and they were heavy, both making turns asking and moaning for something having me stop what feels like every 500m🙄🙄🙄🙄 so that was super annoying and such hard work, gaining momentum with the very heavy stroller only to be stopped again 😐😐😐🥵🥵🥵but we survived, I had to basically have a coco-pop ready to put in Lily’s hand, every time she lifted her hand 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️ the things we do Moms.. the things we do..😂😂😂
.
Both kids in bed now, now for a big cup of coffee and some washing to fold , school bags to prep🤷🏻‍♀️

You are such a grabber 🙄🤭nothing is safe from you hands😂 you love food, especially tomatoes at this point 😂 you are so busy and I don’t get a minute to rest when you are in a high chair, & when your on the ground it’s even worse😐😐 but your so easy for the most part, we enjoy you so much!😅 You make poor Paul have to cover for his wickets half the time coz you just want all his toys, but I think you just want to play with him thats all.😂❤️

You are my wild child for sure🌸My Lily of the Valley 🥰

So that was Fun - NOT! 🙄😂🤦🏽‍♀️😬😬
.
My run did ton go as planned 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ At about 1km jn I realized that I needed to pee so badly, and usually I’m up for a little wee if the run is going great, but today not so much 😕😕
.
I don’t think I’ve ever engaged my pelvic floor as much as I did on this run😂🤣 I was trying to keel it in so bad , haha but I soon rea I was not gonna make it and even though I gave it my all to try and make the run as best as it could be it was a , ‘let’s just turn around and go home’ type of run...
.
Meh, somedays it happens, 😕🤷🏻‍♀️ tomorrow we try again! 🤩😬
.
I have to say, I think I’m entering an older age now..(duh!)😂😐 but mu body is doing all wack kinda things, my skin is so bad and breaking out, my hormones are all over the place, tired Coz Lily is haven’t a bad sleeping week again....🤷🏻‍♀️😬
.
And other Ladies or Mommies going through weird transformations?🤷🏻‍♀️🌸 getting older is weird...
