Great day

Kids still recovering from fevers, no fevers, but I told them we were chilling today anyway. They played really well together and I was able to get more than a few of my cleaning/straightening goals done. Which always feels good, especially when it is something the kids can't reverse in 10 seconds or less.

Morning routine is saving my life. Instead of trying to stay in bed and squeeze every last minute I can in bed, I get up, make it, brush my teeth, swipe my bathroom with a clorox wipe, shower, and dress to shoes. My bathroom is clean and I'm ready to go. It makes such a huge difference, I don't know how or why, but I am more able to function and the kids seem to know that the day has begun. So I'm loving that.

I also volunteered to help a friend with a roadshow (1 skit out of 6, so not too huge). I know, I know, I'm supposed to be taking things off my plate to get to a healthier me, however, I have ALWAYS wanted to help in one of these, I've been in a few as a youth and had the most fun! I'm really excited to be a helper, that way I'm not 100% necessary to be there nor am I in charge which is always good.

So adding something you love is very healthy I am finding. I also added some yoga back in. I'm so sore and tired every day, I needed something to help me out, I'm not 80 afterall.....yet.... I can't tell I feel better and am smiling more, another plus!

Subtracting, I have ended an unhealthy relationship. And normally I would stew and stew over what happened and if I said the right things, and if this person thinks I mean, or that I was the problem. This time, I stewed for a day, picked myself up (thanks to very supportive sisters and friends) and have only glanced back occassionally hoping I did the right thing. We tell our kids all the time how important it is to pick good friends. I think as adults we tend to be more of a friend to all (may be a woman thing) but anyway, I feel the need to be nice to everyone and hope that being nice will bless me with their friendship. Naive and a little sad that this is not always the case. So movin' on! Lookin' for some more pleasant friends that I can communicate more easily with. And ENJOY!

It's good to feel successful! What did you get done today? Notice how waking up was an accomplishment for me! It's all about the little things! Make sure you are giving yourself credit!
