HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY.
I'M A MOM OF THREE BOYS.
LET'S START WITH THE BASICS,
SOMETHING YOU CAN DO NOW TO
GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR FOUR WALLS
AND FAMILY AND CHILDREN.
PUT YOUR KIDS TO BED AT THE
EXACT SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT.
WHY?
WHY?
WHY? BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN
PUNCH OFF FROM THE MOM CLOCK
AND HAVE SOMETIME FOR YOURSELF.
AS WELL AS FEED YOUR CHILDREN
THREE SQUARE MEALS AT THE EXACT
SAME TIME EVERY DAY SO YOU ARE
NOT CONSTANTLY CLEANING YOUR
KITCHEN.
KITCHEN.

SYSTEM.

IT STARTS WITH SLEEP AND
SCHEDULE, IT ENDS WITH HAPPY
MOM MY TIME.
I KNOW WE ARE ALL CRAVING HAPPY
MOMMY TIME.
MOMMY TIME. WE HAVEN'T BEEN ALONE.
EVERYONE IS IN OUR FACE.
JUST KIND OF TAKING LIKE REALLY
SIMPLE STEPS.

SCHEDULE.
SCHEDULE.
SCHEDULE. SCHEDULE IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE HUMANS, WE ADULTS, CHILDREN,
WE THRIVE ON A SCHEDULE BECAUSE
WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

LUNCH OH TAKING THEIR CLASSES
WE CAN FIND THAT TIME FOR
OURSELVES?
OURSELVES? >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. WE CAN FIND THE TIME FOR THE
ZOOM WORKOUT, THE TIME TO DO A
LITTLE MEDITATION.
LITTLE MEDITATION. WE CAN JUST SIT AND ZONE OUT
AND TRY TO FIND A LITTLE GRACE
FOR OURSELVES AND KINDNESS THAT
WE HAVE SURVIVED ANOTHER DAY IN
QUARANTINE.
QUARANTINE. >> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE MOMS
FEELING LIKE I'M FAILING AS A
MOM OR CAN'T DO THIS?
>> I SAY TO EVERYBODY, ALL OF
US, WE ARE NOT FAILING.
WE ARE NOT TEACHERS, WE ARE NOT
EQUIPPED FOR THIS.
WE ARE NOT EDUCATED TO BE
TEACHERS, WE ARE NOT EDUCATED
OR TRAINED FOR SPENDING 24/7
WITH OUR LOVED ONES.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH YOU
LIKE OR LOVE YOUR FAMILY OR
PARTNER, THERE ARE NO RULES AND
NOT ENOUGH SUPPORT THAT WE CAN
EVER COME OUT OF THIS FEELING
LIKE, HEY, WE ARE ROCKING IT.
I SAY, LOWER THE EXPECTATIONS,
GIVE YOURSELF SO MUCH KINDNESS
AND GRACE, I'M ALL ABOUT A
MANTRA, MINE IS, I'M A REALLY
GOOD MOMMY, WITH THIS MANTRA,
REMINDING YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE
A REALLY GOOD MOMMY.
