As always, I am enjoying having the extra time to be with the kids in an attempt
to maintain my sanity, unfortunately I spent the better part of this morning working (and that's DRAINING), cleaning and preparing for a playdate tomorrow. I am feeling super stressed lately, I do not know if its the compounding tasks I am giving myself to better myself or something else.
I managed to abstain from Social Media for the entire day, almost clicking that horrid little Facebook button, but was quickly able to shut the phone down and put it away. PHEW! That was close!
I never would have thought that the reading for 30 minutes, would be the biggest challenge! Today, I planned on getting caught reading but it just didn't happen, this I am struggling most with! There is such little time for me to sit and do anything....just cooking, cleaning and if I am lucky, even a shower.
Physical activity time was a hit today! Both, KC & JD raced in the halls and completed a Kinect workout! It really was fun! Tomorrow I hope we are able to incorporate a dance party, although it is Karate day!
Call making was also a success today! I phoned several friends AND family, everyone was slow to answer! It didn't help that I am having an annoying challenge from a home demonstration simultaneously. I plan to continue this throughout the Lenten season, never calling the same person two (2) consecutive days and just randomly swiping my phone to a letter to call someone I may not have phoned in a while. Actual human conversation and interaction is not what it used to be with the Internet infringing on human communications.
I am still undergoing my sugar detox and I feel it is going very well, so I plan to continue it the best I can.
I had a successful first day working out and actually managed a 40 minute boot camp routine without a problem. Continuing for the rest is going to be a challenge - one that I am up for! I am not going to set a specific amount of time, anything from 10 minutes to a full hour.
Now, I have also added, 5-10 quiet moments of meditation and prayer each day and to end my yelling. I feel I would be a calmer and more effective mother, and person if I had more time for reflection and maintained a nice calm voice.
