I’m sorry I haven’t been posting as much lately.\u00a0 I’ve found that since Tim is back to work I’m finding my motivation is a very fickle thing.\u00a0 Some days I feel like I can conquer the world and I get TONS done.\u00a0 And then other days I feel completely overwhelmed and all I want to do is sit on the couch and eat junk food all day.\u00a0 I know, I know, we probably all have weeks like this… so I’m sure many of you can relate.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Things otherwise have adjusted just fine to the work season again.\u00a0 The kids are finally adjusted to waiting for Tim to come home at supper, and they (a.k.a. Chloe) don’t ask where he is anymore throughout the day.\u00a0 They’ve also adapted nicely to having a nanny here in the afternoons.\u00a0 And for the most part they are sleeping much better throughout the day.\u00a0 Josiah’s naps had been a bit wishy-washy at the end of Tim’s off season, but he’s settled into a wonderful groove now.\u00a0 The only battle we’re still tackling is Josiah waking up at night to “talk” to Chloe.\u00a0 So for now she gets to sleep in our closet.\u00a0 Everyone is sleeping better and waking up happier.<\/p>\n
I had a bit of a pity party for myself this morning and I decided that I didn’t want to exercise (insert whiny voice here… “I don’t waaaaaaaaaaanna exercise…. “) so Chloe and I sat on the couch and watched pointless t.v. and ate popcorn for a half hour.\u00a0 At which point I realized what a lazy bum I was really being…\u00a0 So, we went outside and mowed the lawn and pulled the chairs out of storage for the patio set and made chicken for lunch and got the laundry going and even walked over to the school to (re)fill out her registration form for class that they apparently lost.<\/p>\n
But that brings me back to my motivation… it sits in such a fragile place.\u00a0 Just the mention of a candy bar or rich creamy chocolate cheesecake… mmmmmmmm… cheesecake….\u00a0\u00a0 mmmmmm………….. wait, where was I?\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 motivation.\u00a0 I have to laugh at myself at how quickly I feel like giving in and eating whatever I want.\u00a0 It’s pretty ridiculous actually.\u00a0 Ah, well.\u00a0 I’m still working through it.<\/p>\n
At least God gave me a daughter who is a constant “do-er” like me.\u00a0 I said to her yesterday, Chloe I don’t want to exercise.\u00a0 And she looked at me and said, “but Mom, you HAVE to exercise.”\u00a0 It made me smile.\u00a0 And at that point she went into the living room and waited on the couch for me to start my workout video.\u00a0 When I didn’t emerge from my studio to exercise a few minutes later she yelled to me, “Mom, you need to come out and exercise now!\u00a0 I’m waiting!”<\/p>\n
Ah, yes.\u00a0 I need a good push now and then.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
