I’m almost embarrassed to be writing here. It’s been ten months since I wrote anything for this blog and that was after a period of inconsistent posts that I know isn’t nice to do as a blogger (I’m sort of a professional blogger and I would be cross at my clients if they acted like I did with unmodern mom).
The truth is, I just was completely overwhelmed with life and I had to let something go. It couldn’t be my business, it couldn’t be my family, it couldn’t be my quest for wellness. So this was it.
But my business is doing awesomely well and I feel I have somewhat of a handle on it, family’s great (my 4 year old is in preschool 3 days a week so I’ve got a bit of time there) and my quest for wellness has turned into a brand new lifestyle that is just a natural normal part of everyday.
So no more excuses.
Besides, I’ve missed this blog and I’ve missed you people who read it and leave comments for me.
I’ll be posting again about my life as a work at home mom. I’ll be posting recipes and meal plan ideas. I’ll be posting lunchbox ideas because those in particular seemed to be pretty popular last time around.
I won’t promise to write new posts every single day, but I will post at least a couple times a week. I hope some of you are still around to read my ramblings.
See you back here tomorrow!

Yesterday was a pretty crappy day. After a day (Monday) filled with lots of puking from a very tiny 5 year old, we were exhausted and worried about her because the child can’t afford to lose any weight. Luckily she managed to keep all of her medicine and some food down so I think she’s on the mend.
On top of dealing with a cranky, sick child and her equally as cranky sister, our winter wood supply ran out so we had to order a tank of oil (just in time to get the new higher price with the price adjustment that day of 4.5 cents per litre) and our washing machine (which had started leaking the night before) had continued leaking all day/night leaving ugly water stains on my office ceiling.
It has been an expensive week.
This morning I have a ton of errands to run and meetings to attend so I got up extra early (5am) to get a start on the day. First stop was the scale cause it’s weigh in day. I didn’t see the number I was aiming for so I was a tad disappointed.
So I’m sitting down for the day already a bit stressed out about how I’ll accomplish everything I need to today while being in meetings for half of the day on top of being bummed about not reaching the weight loss goal I’d had in my head for this week.
Then I opened up my desk drawer to pull out my cheque book and what do I find?
My daughter, while she was laying on the couch sick yesterday, wrote me a love note and hid it somewhere I would find it when I didn’t expect it.
I hide notes in her lunch sometimes and the last time I did she came home saying it made her happy and she wanted to do the same thing for me so I’d know she loves me.
Needless to say, that little note from a sincere little girl puts everything right in perspective. I truly believe that child is an angel.
I love you too Casey and that’s all that matters.
