It is a process, to re-learn all you thought you knew about life. Parenthood is the most effective teacher in my opinion. Lately, I am learning a bunch through my Shaklee experience.
Last week, I began to see "the ick" sneaking in with my daycare crew. We fought a hard fight, but after two weeks, we had to wave the white flag. With the nastiness, came the seeds of doubt. We got sick and I felt like a failure and was upset that our new regimen had failed us. I was able to stop those thoughts when I realized that it took almost 2 weeks, (of repeated exposure) to get to us and once we took control of the situation and used the tools we trust to work- I claimed victory!
A few extra optiflora, lots of performance to keep hydrated and some activated charcoal and I was better in less than 2 days and my symptoms were mild. I didn't miss one day of work. Now I will say the girls missed school-but that had more to do with varying levels of tolerance, the fact that they did not take what I took and school sick policy than the actual bug.
Additionally- today I was shocked when my 4.5 yr old counted to 30. Then his newly 2 yr old brother decided he needed to potty and bravely went into the bathroom and did his business. And we had it very first brother piggy back. #itreallyis #thelittlethings
After what felt like a lazy and dark week...these rays of sunshine are shining SO brightly and I can't help but be excited that this door has finally opened for me!
