Water Challenge Update
It’s been a week since I’ve challenged myself to drink water. I have to admit that the last few days I got off track. Sickness has run rampant through the house and between a baby that is up all night anyway and a toddler sick with fever and vomiting, it’s been hard to remember which way the toothpaste is supposed to go on the toothbrush much less to drink my 6-8 glasses a day.
So, I’m extending the challenge another week - heck - I’m actually gonna try to live this way because even WITH the sickness, mine, my husbands, our son’s, I can tell that drinking water like that has made a difference in how I feel. On days I drank water, I felt more energetic, thought with more clarity - just an overall cleaner feeling on my insides.
Being sick is also why I have slowed down on writing. When your child is sick, all your priorities change. Which, reminds me that I’m thankful that we have health insurance (I remember what it felt like when we didn’t), and am grateful that our elected officials approved the CHIP program with enough votes to override a veto. (I hope they stick to their guns). Having a sick child you can’t take care of is a horrible feeling for a mom and it is one that NO mother in a America should have to experience.
