my daughter was sick a few weeks ago and i woke up in the morning feeling drained and unmotivated to do anything for myself since all of my energy was going to my baby and her needs. i found a post-it my mom left for me on top of my vitamins. it read: remember to take care of yourself too!
as a mom, it seems that your first priority in life becomes your children, but you need to remember that in order to be able to make them your top priorities in life, you need to be at your best, so......REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF TOO!!!!!!

Thank you for this reminder! My son was sick a few weeks ago, lasting 10 days, and I've been trying to figure out WHY I am so TIRED?! I definitely did not take care of myself, and now I'm paying the piper!
You sound like you have a great mom, leaving you kind notes. What a great support system! I hope to hear more inspiring messages...how do you stay motivated and take care of yourself?!

Especially since I am a mom who is feeling a little under the weather today myself!
