Wow! Sorry about that posted meltdown. And sorry for any of you that had to be around me during my meltdown journey. Thank you Julian who called up Nycole to "rescue me." And thank you Nycole for rescuing me. I had a great time. And thanks Nana for flying Ogden out to spend time in Texas. It's no secret that Ogden loves spending time there and is even "thinking about moving to Texas."
Yesterday in church they talked about treating our bodies like a temple. I realized I have some work to do. They said moms need to take care of themselves so they can take care of others. I've heard this before, but yesterday it clicked. I tend to put my wants/needs aside and take care of others, and if there is time, I'll do something for myself. The last couple of weeks I've barely been exercising, because at the end of the day, I just want to be together as a whole family. Or I'm tired. Or I don't feel like it. Also realized I haven't gotten a haircut in 6 months. Also realized I haven't bought clothes in over a year. Also realized, if I keep this up, I will quickly be on my way to wearing Mom Jeans. I know wearing a pair of bad jeans doesn't make you a bad mom, but it definitely would affects my confidence. And not having confidence affects the way I interact with others and the way I feel about myself. And pretty much results in another colossal meltdown. I'm going to do a better job.

This is exactly how I've been feeling. Maybe you should fly out to NYC and come visit me. We can do fun girly things that don't involve selling a house. :D I need a haircut too. I have that seething fear of mom jeans too.
You are a fantastic mom by the way Alicia! I love seeing the great things you do as a family. You do so well keeping in shape--running and everything. :D I'm trying to be like you.
I really liked reading the below post. Having three kids is such a big job, and trying to sell a house on top of it all!! I hope you guys can sell soon. Your Spanish Fork house sounds great. I agree with you though, we have to find time to take care of ourselves so we don't completely burn out. Balance is so hard to find, but you are amazing and I know you can do it.
