Once the school year gets underway, I’ll take a breath and get a little time back to focus on me. I’ll make sure I get in for my annual check-ups, eye and dental appointments all in September. It’s not that things slow up at all in September, but you have a little more control over your schedule again.
I tell you this to gently remind you NOT to skip out on your own “back to school” physicals and check-ups. If you’re not healthy and at your best, then you can’t be there for your children. You also set the example. If they see that these appointments are important to you, they will value them as well. So if you’ve not been keeping up on your own health screenings, let this be the day to make the call and set up the appointment.
Happy moms, healthy moms.
