Me time

I was reminded today why I loved working out so much. Me time!!! You gotta understand, I adore music. It can turn my mood around, say what I can't put into words, get me moving and slow me down. It is rare anymore that I get a chance to listen to: A) the songs I want and B) an entire song without having to turn it down to answer a persistent "Mommyyyyyyyy" coming from someone! Not today though - and entire hour, me and my Ipod (really glad Santa brought those to the kids this year!) and every song I wanted to jam out to. Luckily my mom was able to watch my monkey man for me and even more luck, her road is a private road so no one was privy to my off pitch rendition of I'm Sexy and I know It, Country Girl Shake It For Me, We Found Love, Party Rock Anthem and the rest of the songs I was rockin' out too. It was quite fun!! And for an entire hour I didn't have to think about anything. Don't get me wrong, there isn't a drop of my life that I would trade for anything. I adore every moment that I spend with the kids and Brandon. I can't get enough time with them! They are honestly my heart and soul. It is nice to step away from it all and do something for myself too. A friend posted today something about taking the best care of yourself in order to take the best care of those you love. It's important to get that time to let your mind be numb, not think about laundry or dishes, and sing and dance to some music in your most off-beat tune and uncoordinated moves! For 2.1 miles I was belting it out  just as well as Rhianna :)
