Starting My Blog…
Okay, to be honest, this is the first blog post I have ever written…”why would she choose to start a blog if she doesn’t know what she is doing?” you may ask. Well, I feel like I have something to say that others need to hear, and that will help them. That is all I want to do is help a mom out there. That is at her wit’s end with her kids or is feeling anxious and thinks she is alone. None of my readers are alone!
In The Beginning…
I have wanted to start a blog for literally years! Because when I was working at the pharmacy, taking care of those people, I was thinking of my boys at daycare wondering where I was. I was thinking about all the things that I had to do. All the activities I had to get them to, while working as a pharmacist. And working as a pharmacist is pretty demanding so I felt anxious and stressed ALL OF THE TIME! I still do quite a bit, comes to why I am writing. If I was feeling this way, then there has to be other moms that feel this way and that is who I want to help!
Where I am at Now…
I still work as a pharmacist, part time, but that will be changing for about three months. My manager is having a baby. I also sell essential oils (where the natural part of my blog comes in). Being a pharmacist, I know how harmful the side effects of drugs can be. So I interested in using essential oils for me and my family. I still get anxious, I still get stressed (especially now that my boys are older and are in more activities). My thought was, it would get easier to be a mother as my boys got older, but it is just new stresses! I don’t understand everything about junior high (my oldest just hit this). I don’t understand all the dynamics of 4th grade (the grade my youngest is in), and I don’t know how to help him not be bored. So that is where I am at, but we are in this together.
What this Blog Means To You…
So this is my life, but this does not help you in anyway, to know that my life is stressful and anxiety ridden. This blog is to help you, number one, know that you are not alone out there trying to be the best mom you can be while feeling like you are failing. Number two, you can learn from me, and we can learn together, I don’t have all the answers, but I do have techniques that I have found to help keep your life straight, keep the anxiety in check, and keep you organized. So that we can raise our kids together to be great people. That is all us moms want.
