Labor Day

I am always in awe of friends who work a five day, forty hour work week or even more.  Even if you are doing what you love, it is still intense and exhausting.  My husband and I have been blessed to be our own bosses, but that also calls for hustling, and throw in three babies, and we just hit our seven year anniversary, it has been non stop.  We are so lucky that we got to raise our kids ourselves, one of us has always been with one of the babies, now all of them are in preschool so we have some breathing room and are actually excited to really get to work.

I love to do a little bit of everything, so I will be teaching PE in a middle school in our community five days a week but only a few hours a day in the afternoons.  It fits in perfectly into my current schedule, I have private clients and classes in the mornings and evenings, and my afternoons have been open for errands and naps.

I am excited to delve in on Tuesday after Labor day, it will be my labor day, not the baby kind of labor, but a fuller work load.  Speaking of baby labor, I have a client delivering October 1st, so it can really be anytime this month.  I am also excited about two other potential doula clients that are referrals.  It feels so powerful and fulfilling to be doing exactly what I am meant to do in this world.

Knowing that all of that stuff is coming up, I feel like I can let my hustle down and just enjoy, I just feel light. Every Sunday morning my cleanaholic husband deep cleans both of our cars, so we have to wait to get out for the day.  I always say I would happily take that addiction over any other addiction, but it can really get intense sometimes, kids and mommies need to get dirty, it is good for us all :)  We took full opportunity of our time this morning to reorganize the childrens books and room, and they were participating so nicely, and even telling me when I was putting something in the wrong place.  I do have a love for organization, I am excited the kids are catching on.  We are not to the point of when they play with something they put it right back, so the room inevitably becomes messy, but it is so cool when everybody works together to clean it up and knows exactly what to do and where everything goes, love teamwork!

The we went riding on the metro train all day, we took it to our favorite shoe store, and then went to Ross where I found each one of my kids a perfect end of the month gift for completing their sticker charts for the month.  My daughter got nail polish, she is 4 1/2, and I told her when she stops biting her nails, I will let her have polish, finally those fingernails needed a proper clippings.  My big boy got a cool car set with a tow truck and a car, and my baby got a fluffy bat and ball.  We then took the metro to a park where we played for a while, and after the playground they caught sight of balloons and streamers hanging on a tree and were so engrossed trying to get it all untangled, it was fascinating to watch. 

I dropped them at home and went to my friend www.rolandhealinghands.com, he was having Sunday consultations, and I brought a few friends to check him out.  Tomorrow my husband has family in town, so we will have a big lunch here, but before that I have two private classes, a hustlers work is never done.

Life is Good,

Labor is Good,

The work kind and the baby kind,

Happy Labor Day Weekend,
