Maintainence....Not Just For Your Car

It's been a while. I have missed warmer days. I can't wait until it is consistent enough that I can go outside with my girls and go for walks. I have learned a lot over the winter. This winter has been the most stressful season I have ever been through, but I feel as though I have come through with flying colors. Work has been unbelievably difficult for me. There have been many times when I could have easily thrown in the towel. probably more then I can count. I have had a difficult time with coming to terms with Big H going to school this fall. It has been eating at me all winter. I am just not ready.
But through it all, I have maintained my weight! Usually in the winter I pack on the pounds! Not this year! I maintained! I have also learned that I am beautiful! even if my kids are the only ones that think so. And my husband. I have learned to not shrug off when he tells me I am hot or that I'm "lookin' good." I will take advantage of this. As long as he isn't repulsed by me, things can be alright! I am working really hard at concentrating on the things I love about myself. I'm a great mom. I work hard. I am dependable to a fault! And in this process I have discovered that there are even things about my body that I am no longer ashamed of.
I have big boobs. Always have they been my Nemesis. Now they are my friends! I have stretch marks, but I also have two wonderful little girls to go with it! They were worth them!
I am slowly getting there!
