Top 5 things saving my life right now!

1. Getting up early.

- I know I know everyone says get up before kids. I have NEVER been a morning person. In fact I have always struggled getting up in the morning, however Tyler until recently was needing to nurse around 4-5 AM and I started staying up after I would feed him and I was loving the quiet time in my house with everyone asleep. Staying up after bedtime would usually be a challenge because I was so tired to enjoy enjoy the quiet. I love it right now. Will it change? maybe but right now I am purposely getting up around 4:30 at least a couple times a week.

2. My daily coffee

- Dunkin’ Donuts ground coffee from Costco. With a tablespoon or so of heavy cream and 1 ice cube. Don’t try to change my mind. This makes me happy EVERY single morning.

3. ADHD medication

- I finally pursued an evaluation for ADHD, and was diagnosed about 3-4 weeks ago. This is the end of my second week on medication and it is gam changing for my work life balance. I can get my work done, AT work. Which means I have my evenings back. And I feel less stressed and overwhelmed at work, and I think my overall work is just better. It almost feels like cheating.

4. Buying clothes that fit me.

- I’m not the size I’d love to be, but as summer is coming and I’m still postpartum with 2 back to back kiddos, 3 kiddos in 4.5 years, I’m just ignoring the size and buying what fits. I have too much going on in my life to have to even think that my pants feel uncomfortable.

5. Chobani zero sugar yogurt drinks for breakfast.

- gets me protein, fills my stomach with something besides coffee keeps me full until lunch. Getting them at Aldis in my weekly grocery order.
