I was supposed to have a friend date/girls' night out tonight and my friend canceled, so I'm thinking of just going to a movie by myself.

I am going to try to do my meditation/seated yoga on the roof again this afternoon. And I've been making an effort to stay hydrated.
What I really need to do is learn to not take it personally at work when people literally repeat my exact words as though they've just had their own bright idea. It would greatly reduce my stress.

I dropped the kids off at 7:45am at daycare, then didn't go to work until 9. I went home (on the way), and made myself breakfast.

Oh! Me, me! I'm taking care of myself!!!
My FIL surprised us by showing up a day earlier than scheduled. I did nothing special for him coming a day early... I cooked what was already on my meal plan, I put the kids to bed regular time. I didn't let his failure to plan become my emergency!
I came to the gym today anyway, even though FIL is at the house. He isn't my dad, I don't have to entertain him.
After I'm done at the gym, I'm going to hit up target for stuff gor E's party next weekend, then go to physical therapy.

I love this line, I'm going to use it the next time my in-laws fail to plan things. :-) |

I went and got lunch in the cafeteria today and savored the extra time I got by not having to make lunch or going out to get lunch. I got to relax and take some time for myself.
And now h gets home before I do, so he deals with the dogs, the dishwasher, and starts dinner before I get home with the babies. Things are so much more relaxed now. I look forward to getting home and the time before bedtime now. Even if one baby stands at the coffee table to be fed like a baby bird. (We don't always humor her when it comes to feeding.)

Anyone here have experience using headspace for meditation? Love it? Hate it?

I'm actually running more consistently, now that I have a goal race. I didn't realize how much I missed having a reason to run.

Decided to hang out with my BFF and went out for dinner at a brewery and it was lovely. So nice to have a night off and be an adult for once.

I went jet skiing yesterday, alone, for a long time and it was so peaceful. That's my kind of meditation. No one was on the water so it was very calming. I'm going to do it again tomorrow.

Go swim stringy. Then you can enjoy your tv without feeling guilty. |

I went to the gym 4 days this week. My body is exhausted. I ate really good all week. My belly is starving. And I didn't drink all week. Until right now.
And I'm leaving in a few hours to take E to a friends lakehouse for the weekend! No H, no P. Just E and I, and our girlfriends. Happy bday E.

Well. I both failed and succeeded. BM got home a little later than expected and in the mean time M had a meltdown over her fucking purple plate and while she lay in the kitchen screaming I drank a corona and made and ate nachos. Not good.
BUT the good part is when BM got home I said "bye" and left her with the chaos. Now I'm in a parking lot probing and don't know what to do. Apparently I should pack things in advance for a quick exit.

I dunno why I feel like my life is in shambles when it appears just fine.

Earlier in the week we had a play date where I was able to have adult conversation. Then I went to bible study last night and a comment from one of the other ladies prompted me to ask her to lead a small group of us on a short term study. I think we're both really excited about it.
Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment and I'm going to do some shopping alone afterwords. Probably for school supplies. I'm getting somewhat excited about school starting and not having to worry about keeping all of the kids entertained all day. Not looking forward to all the driving back and forth though since O will be going half day and C will be full day at a different school.
