Multiple Sclerosis: Awareness

August 10, 2018 LanaPummill Leave a Comment

Multiple Sclerosis: Awareness Multiple Sclerosis Awareness holds a special place in my heart. What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Multiple Sclerosis: a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe,…

It always seems so boring and cookie-cutter like. If I get bored writing it then I know my readers will…

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt like giving up on something. ⁣
⁣
Your goals? Your diet? Your side hustle? Just a difficult mom day? ⁣
⁣
Oh Yeah, I’ve had those days too. I don’t try to hide the fact that things can get TOUGH. But here’s what I do when it ALL gets too much: go for a run with some banging hip hop on my AirPods, hang out with my besties and drink copious amounts of coffee, or my personal favorite lately, take 15 minutes to cry it out. ⁣
⁣
What do you do when you feel like giving up? How do you turn things around?⁣

Sometimes, when my little guys are sleeping...I still look at them and think...⁣"wow! I made that!" ⁣⁣
⁣
Feeling grateful to God for my many blessings this morning and getting a little bit longer to drink my coffee alone this morning!⁣

Let’s be honest, sometimes our significant others can walk a fine line with our nerves. This is true in any marriage. However, if you add kids and being stuck at home (quarantine, anyone?) then you can bet you are both going to be annoyed by the other at least once a week…ok, at least once a day. HAHA! I don’t know about you, but date nights are always a good way to recenter your relationship and remember why you fell in love. Remind each other that you are a team. However, with parenting and the new challenges that have come about today, it is hard to imagine a regular date night. So I have put together a list of stay at home dates for parents.⁣
⁣
1. Exercise Together⁣
2. Dinner at home, cooked by someone else.⁣
3. Dance⁣
4. At-home wine and cheese tasting⁣
5. Cook Together⁣
6. Trip Around The World⁣
7. Theme Night⁣
8. Upgraded TV Time⁣
9. Breakfast In Bed⁣
10. Living Room Campout⁣
11. Game Night⁣

What is something I think you should know?⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Build a support system! This is HUGE!! I can tell you that if I hadn't had a support system of fellow bloggers or mompreneurs, then I would have quit early on in this adventure. It was so crucial to have some people that I could vent to or bounce ideas off of! The brutal truth? Often, people who aren't into blogging or fellow mompreneurs aren't going to understand your dreams, concerns, fears, doubts; this is why it is essential to have people in the same boat as you. ⁣
⁣
⁣⁣I am here for you if you need someone to reach out to for advice or inspiration. ⁣
⁣
You can do this, Mama!⁣⁣⁣⁣

So are you ready for spring? Or are you still enjoying the winter where you are? ⁣

I love winter, but we don't really get much of one here in Texas. ⁣

I remember a time where I would slide into bed at night, tired but wide awake, feeling trapped, unsatisfied, guilty, wondering if I was a good mom and that I just didn't have enough time in the day. ⁣
⁣
I would cry in the shower or in my car because I didn't want my husband or kids to see me break. I knew there had to be more to life than this. I often wondered where did that woman go that knew what she wanted and went and got it? Where was the woman that oozed confidence in her walk, talk, words, and smile? I would catch glimpses of that woman in the mirror while brushing my teeth, somewhere behind the mom-bun, milk-stained stretched out t-shirt and 3-day old yoga pants. I would feel her nudging at me to let her out, as I stared out the window while driving to run the millionth errand of the week. ⁣
⁣
It doesn't have to stay that way, Mama. I can help you close the door on survival mode and start thriving. Together, we can find that woman again. ⁣
⁣
You can have it all, Mama...and still rock those 3-day old yoga pants, while making money from your living room.⁣

Do more things that make you forget to check your phone! ⁣
⁣
YES! So true. I know that when you run your own business, especially a business that relies so heavily on tech and social media, it can be hard to put your phone down. However, if you don't put your phone down from time to time, you will miss out on life around you. ⁣
⁣
One thing that always makes me put my phone down is spending time with these two sweethearts. They are the reason I do what I do. ⁣
⁣
What are you going to do today that will make you forget to check your phone? ⁣

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴⁣
⁣
The truth is I rarely get to pee alone. They will find you. Seriously fingers clawing under the bathroom door. I feel like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson some nights after I put them to bed. They will stare at you in the middle of the night until you open your eyes, say a bad word, and then have to remind them not to say the word you just said. You will have amazing Friday and Saturday nights of laundry and mopping up bathwater (oh yeah). Their dirty, sticky hands will always find the new shirt that you have only worn once. You will step on blocks and toy cars in the middle of the night and swear they are going in the trash the next day.⁣
You will have nights where you sit by their beds and rub their backs and little tummies and night after night of “just one more story, mommy.” Lots of accidents. Lots of messes. You will eventually wake yourself up at night singing the Paw Patrol theme song or most recently for me “Baby Shark….” Your new things won’t look like new things for long. You will find a sippy cup with milk in it under the couch. Word of advice. Don’t open it!! Just throw it away. Trust me.⁣
I think my response can still be boiled down to what I told my friend. Being a parent really is the best thing that has ever happened to me because even in all the chaos, the messes, the dirty smells, the pee, you have moments where they look at you with such love and your heart skips a beat.⁣
Moments where they reach for your hand and look to you for guidance. The first time they say “mama” or tell you they love you. Times where they draw you a picture or make you a flower out of play-doh. The times where they come up to you and say “you the best mama,” for no reason at all. Early Saturday morning cartoons. Late-night cuddles to scare the monsters away. Playing in the sprinkler and moments where they make you feel like a kid again. Those moments definitely overshadow the messy ones. My boys are my greatest accomplishments.

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.” – Leo F. Buscaglia. ⁣
⁣
I used to worry about launching my course. I was so afraid that no one would buy it because what makes me an expert on building your own virtual assistant biz until I realized it was holding me back from succeeding. If I don't launch, I will never know. So my goal is to launch by the end of April. ⁣

Is there something you need to let go of?⁣

I was asked recently, “what is parenting like?”⁣
⁣
Well, it is NEVER a dull moment.⁣
⁣
I gave my usual answer, “it is the best thing that has ever happened to me.”⁣
⁣
As the day went on, I just couldn’t get that question out of my head.⁣
⁣
𝗠𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔 𝗠𝗼𝗺- 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻⁣
I will be full of joy, happiness, and love for my kids at all times, no exceptions. I might as well be telling you that animals come into my house and help me clean, just like Snow White and Cinderella. Bahahahahaha!!⁣
⁣
𝗠𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔 𝗠𝗼𝗺- 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆⁣
Some days are really hard. Some days I cry and some days I want to scream. I am full of doubt, fear, stress, anxiety, loneliness, moments of guilt because I find myself wishing I could be selfish again, and thinking “oh, man! I must be messing these kids up!” But, and this is a big BUT, in between those days are days full of love, giggles, lots of hugs and kisses, moments of pure bliss, cuddles, and kissing away boo-boos.⁣
