Feelings + A Preview into My Fitness Plans

With four daughters our house is filled with a million emotions.

The other night after we had put the girls to bed we heard Sophia crying and not just any cry it was full of depth. Something about her cry told me she was in distress. Steve ran upstairs first and in the midst of her sobbing she began to tell him she never wanted to leave Mommy, she never wanted to grow up. As soon as I heard that I ran upstairs to hug her and hold her. I could tell she was truly hurting. Of course I told her she never has to leave me, I told her she could live with us forever. I will always be here with her. She began to ask me if I missed my mom and I said of course. (Over the past few weeks she has been asking me why I left Mimi and Papa’s house, I told her I fell in love with your Daddy, married him and then I lived with him.) I hugged Sophia again, tucked her in and went downstairs. Within 5 minutes she was in tears again. I quickly ran upstairs. She told me her mouth wouldn’t stop crying. She just had to cry. I told her it was okay to cry and never apologize for your feelings. Sophia then asked what if a boy wants to marry her? I told her she could say no and still live with us or they could live with us. Ha!! 🙂

I can’t lie apart of me melted when my precious little girl told me she never wanted to leave me. I never want her to leave me either. I can’t imagine me life without her.

I want my daughters to know no matter what it is okay to feel whatever they feel. We just have to know how to express ourselves. We need to learn the proper way to share our feelings.

Lately, Isabella has been very good about using her words when she is mad at sissy (she calls Sophia sissy; not McKenzie or McKayla). She will stop playing and come tell me I am mad at sissy. It is actually really cute. I want our girls to feel comfortable sharing their feelings with me. I want them to share their lives me with. I want to help them through everything. I never want my girls to be uncomfortable feeling what the feel. I want them to know it is okay.

Life is all about how we handing ourselves in different situations. I hope my girls learn that life is what we make it.

2013 Fitness Plans

I will go into this in more detail later in the week. But I thought I would touch upon what I am planning on doing in the next coming months and throughout the year.

Those that know me know I love a good challenge so this year is going to be my year of fitness challenges. I would love for you to join my in my year of challenges; we can keep each other motivated. This month I embarking on a 30 day ab challenge; since I am starting a little behind I am taking out the rest days. I really want to start a new challenge at the beginning of each month. I posted I was starting this a few days ago on Facebook, but then life happened and I kept forgetting to complete my days. So, I restarted it today and I am going to print on this schedule and post it on my fridge. Let’s get started!!
