Why the title “If You Don’t Sit Down Somewhere!”

Growing up, occasionally, my Momma, Aunts, Granny or Gaga told me, “If you don’t sit down somewhere!” because most likely, I was doing something that I was not supposed to be doing or in my culture they would say, “I was doing the most.” Therefore, to help get my life back together, I would find a place to sit in which it was hard to find me (lol), think about the consequence of not settling down and reset so I would not get in trouble again. Ten out of ten times, I would rejoin the rest of the household without any further consequences.

Now that I am older, the tables have definitely turned, and as I always tell my momma, “I get it.” I now say to my children “If you don’t sit down somewhere!” Also, I am finding myself saying to myself “If you don’t sit down somewhere!” As a wife, mother, educator, entrepreneur, sister, friend and any other hat I need to put on, I find myself “doing the most.” For instance, I have full-time job as well as have a part-time job, homeschooling my three toddlers and have started my own business (Do you see what I mean when I say I am doing the most?) As a result of all these hats I wear, I have started gaining unhealthy living habits. Therefore, I have forced myself to sit down and reset.
