I almost fell victim to the Busyness Olympics again. Someone compared me to another mom. “You think you’re busy! She’s much busier than you.”
I instantly felt shame. Well, she must be a better mom because she is busier!

As the real Olympics have already begun, I am fervently dropping out of the Mom Busyness Olympics. I will not be measured by how tired and how busy I am as a gauge of my worth as single working parent.

My mom burnout is more complicated to treat because I’m a single mom. I don’t have a co-parenting partner to take the reins while I step away, even for five minutes to take a breather. Like me, it may not be possible for you to schedule time away from your children.

What can we do instead?

I’m burnt out. I’ve been running on fumes for the past few months working full time as a software engineer and part time as a code bootcamp…

It’s crazy to think that at one point in my life, after a violent domestic relationship where he financially cleaned me out and almost strangled me to death, I ate out of the garbage. (Long before Ylvie was born.)
He took off when I was completely broke,
evicted, and my car was repossessed.
Fast forward: I can’t believe I can buy food with ease now. I don’t have to worry about Ylvie going hungry. In fact, I can be fancy and buy lobster rolls.
I have gratitude for this journey of rising up. From eating discarded food in the trash to eating lobster and treating my mom and brother, too.
These lobster rolls remind me of how far I’ve come. And no. No man came along and saved me from my financial ruin. You can do it on your own, too.
And if you are in a physically, emotionally, financially abusive relationship, I hope you find the spark to leave. I didn’t for a long time. Lost money. Almost lost my life.
Love and hugs.
And many thanks to ! It was delicious! ❤️🦞❤️.

When she asked me this, I was unsure of what bro definition she was referring to since there is such a thing as a brogrammer in the software world. 😂.
I soon figured out she is referring to the friendly bro term, and I love it. 🥰.

‘Merica! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂.
Ylvie used to take French classes with other kids, but now she takes classes on Zoom with her lovely teacher, who is patient and amazing with children. Including children who think English is the REAL way. 😂

Today is a run day! 2 miles! Run 5 minutes and walk 30 seconds!

I ran yesterday, because it was so cold this weekend! Yuck!

Remember: you don't have to strictly stick to this schedule. Like any fitness program, make this 5K training work for you.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Listen to your body! If you're feeling tired or sore, rearrange this schedule. If you have any questions, please reach out!

It took a long time for me to be able to learn what my body needs in terms of running. I used to try to run every single day. Rain. Shine. Hurricane. 110 degree weather.

It's not worth it. Be kind to your bodies!

I ended having really bad hip problems from relentless running without cross training and without rest. If I would have been kind to my body, I would noticed the signs of fatigue and stepped back.

Enjoy your Tuesday!
