H.A.L.T.

Hi mommies,

Today will be a quickie - I’b sick! And in that vein, it is an excellent reminder to get enough sleep. I think I was susceptible to this cold because I didn’t get enough sleep a couple nights ago. (maybe, maybe not)

Here’s the acronym that should be setting off warning bells all over your head/ eyeballs:

HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) Any of those things are cause for a little pause/ halt to review how well we’re taking care of ourselves. Sometimes it is unavoidable - i’m thinking especially of the tired thing if you have an infant. And then, it is an excellent time to cut yourself some slack. When I’m tired I have to realize that the my children’s very breathing is going to get to me, and I just gotta relax. Set the bar lower.

Have a great day, Mommies & don’t forget to HALT!
