This weekend I had a difficult time being Charmaine. Here's what I mean. I went to a business event and I had become that person that is showing pictures of her children and talking about family life. I had forgotten how to truly network and be about my business.
Driving there I felt bad about leaving the kids with their loving over qualified father. While there I felt guilty about having a good time. While leaving I felt guilty because I was not home for one of my sons seizures. I'm just a mess.
Then I came home only to have to go back out to the grocery store. Came back made dinner and left again.
Not once did I take a kid. I had a full day of adult interaction and conversation and I did'nt know how to act. I felt weird being out without my husband or kids and not be at the grocery store or Target. I felt guilty how dare I have a good time.
But Saturday made me realize a few things.
1. I need to get out of the house at least once a month to network. Not just with women either, because I've lost my edge. And that pisses me off.
2. I need to continue this trend of my children helping me around the house. Meal time went so much faster because my daughter was my assistant. Plus she likes to feel needed (well sometimes lol).
3. I need to start reading non children's books again to step up my business game.
4 I need to organize my life. I waste too much time.
There is more but I gotta go to bed. Goals for this week complete Vision Board and Goal list. Because I need to focus on me.
Slowly I'm figuring this thing out. Happy me happy family. This weekend proved it.
Homework lesson: if there is no you time carved into your life, then whose life are you living? Make time for yourself, remember your mental health and happiness is paramount to your families success.
Peace, Love, & Charm
