Good morning! 

It’s thunderstorming over here today (and for the next couple days). 

So I’m over here debating if ‘bad weather’ is a good excuse to not send my kid to school. Ha. 

I’m not interested in walking outside during a storm.

But, I’m also not interested in having him stuck inside with me all day. Because that’s no good for anyone. 

So we’ll see which one of these interests (or non-interests) win out by the time he’s up and ready.

I’ve been sleeping in the other room these days. I’ll do the first leg of the night with Ankur and Ishu and then when I wake up, I’ll move on over to the other room and it feels pretty glorious to get some uninterrupted sleep (where I’m not pushed to the edge of my bed).

It’s like I get the best of both worlds. Cuddles at the beginning of the night, but some good solid sleep in the middle/end of the night.

We are going to transfer him to his toddler bed soon. 

I keep saying that. 

And then I also keep saying he’s gonna be in bed with us ’til he’s 35. So, again, who knows which way this pans out?! 

I had another session of PT yesterday and I feel so much gratitude for this body. In the last few months, I’ve come to the realization that I really have had it SO WRONG for most of my life. I thought my body was broken. Not right. Trying to always contort it, make it smaller. I felt so much hatred toward it for not looking a certain way.

But I had it all wrong.

I never stopped long enough to appreciate how miraculous it is to have two sturdy legs that get me places. I don’t ever pause to appreciate the way it functions, the way it brought my favorite little human into this world, the way it had me moving up and down and around the classroom and school, chasing my little ones all over the place. 

This body is so powerful. 

And I think I’ll never forget that again. 

Even on the days when I don’t feel so great inside this body. Even on days when I have minor setbacks and injuries. I think my body has proven to me – time and time again – that it continues to show up for me. And it’s high time I do the same for it. 

Anyway, those are my random ramblings. Just feeling some major appreciation this morning.

I must now go get the morning cuddles and kisses from the little guy. Those are the yummiest.

Hope you have a great day. 🙂
