I’ve been having a really good week…on and off the mats. I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s important and trying to find the right balance between work and family and training. It isn’t always easy for a working Mom, but somehow we manage to make it work. So, if you are a hard-working Mama who loves to train jiu jitsu, what do you want for Mother’s Day? While flowers are nice and chocolate is always yummy, and jewelry is pretty, those aren’t things that I want for Mother’s Day.
Here’s Mrs. Ibarra’s top 10 list of things I want for Mother’s Day:
1. A one-hour massage (because our bodies take a beating training BJJ).
2. Manicure and Pedicure (because our hands and feet take a beating training BJJ).
3. Cool gi patches or jiu jitsu t-shirts (I have my eye on a Tap Cancer Out patch and I really want one of the new Fenom t-shirts).
4. While you’re at it, the new Fenom gi…I know I already have too many…but a BJJ Mama can’t have too many gis.
5. New ink (this isn’t for everyone, but this BJJ Mama wants some new ink). Thanks for the idea Kasey!
6. A BJJ private lesson with one of my instructors (and the BFF and the daughter are included in this private, because it’s more fun that way).
7. A chauffer for the next Girls in Gis in Plano…because I commute all week to work and I don’t want to drive on the weekends…but I really want to go to the next Girls in Gis on May 20th!
8. Breakfast with the family at my favorite Taqueria!
9. A day at the beach with a chair and an umbrella and a good book (because sometimes I need to feel my toes in the sand and the sun on my face).
10. Hugs and kisses and home-made Mother’s Day cards…because even though my kids aren’t little anymore, you can’t have too many hugs and kisses and cards made from the heart.
Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
looks like our lists match pretty closely. happy mother's day!
