YIKES! I cannot believe how caught up I got in my laundry catch up and other housework...where did the last 2 days go????
OK...so it isn't quite that bad, but let me tell you that all of a sudden it is 10:30 on Wednesday morning, and I'm not showered (I'll explain that later on), I'm in day-old clothes (something I rarely do), and I'm feeling a bit befuddled...
I'm committed to doing my Wii Fit workout every day. As a result, I awoke this morning at 6:10, and spent the next 10 minutes in the bathroom. Something I ate yesterday did not agree with me at all, but I'll spare you the details. I came down at 6:20, fired up the Wii and TV, and got started. 8 minutes into my workout, BB came in and said "Are you going to do the whole thing?" FYI - the whole thing (what we've unlocked so far and do daily) takes about 45 minutes to do a 30 minute workout, due to screen navigation (which is my only complaint thus far about the thing). I replied "I guess not", and he got a little huffy with me. I simply looked at him, smiled and said "You are the one who has to be at work. I can stay in my workout gear all day long if I wanted to." (For the record, I do not do that...I have this thing about stale sweat) and let him take over.
It turned out to be beneficial, as the children woke up. At 7:15. They never do that...it was odd...somehow, they knew I was awake, and I became convinced that they have a similar notification system as when I sit down to eat food...they immediately need me for something. (Am I the only one that happens to???) So I headed upstairs, where I proceeded to bathe and dress them, and bring them downstairs for breakfast. After feeding them, cleaning up the dishes left behind by the other members of the family, caring for and feeding the animals, I sat down to breakfast and to peruse the paper. The children were playing in the family room, safely guarded by my awesome Summer brand play-yard that MIL bought us shortly before Tiny Princess' arrival last year. It rocks. Every mother of more than one child should have one. But, I digress...I ate breakfast, put my dishes in the dishwasher, started it, took Tiny Princess upstairs, changed her diaper, and put her down for her morning nap. Captain Chaos is sitting and watching the Disney channel, and I'm stealing a moment while I've got a load of whites in the washer, and dishes going...
I have fallen horribly behind in my planned schedule of scrapbooking, and am feeling a bit dismal about it.
I have let my Mary Kay office go to ground...it is, in no kind terms, a disaster area. I can't find anything at all. It stinks.
I feel a little discouraged today as the Wii said I'd gained 4 pounds since yesterday...which is odd, as my bathroom scale said I'd actually lost a pound...hmmmmm...myabe the Balance Board is jealous of my amazing skills? If you could see what I'd actually had come in as my test results on it, you'd not have to imagine the sarcasm dripping off that statement...
I'm finding it a bit difficult this morning to not think negatively about BB, but am determined that, with God's help, I'll make it through the next 28 days of this challenge, and that, at the end, my heart will be changed, and it will be easier for me to stay in the positive and affirming mode...
Speaking of which, today's challenge is :
Tell your husband how much you value and appreciate him. Tell him you appreciate how he works hard to take care of you, and make sure, at the end of the day, when he comes home, that he knows he is loved and appreciated.
I'll be working on that one, as I do have a rather large tendency to dump all the icky things that occurred in my world as soon as he comes in the door...and I did that prior to the kids, so I know it's not that I need adult conversation that doesn't revolve around "sit down on the potty!" and the like...
Praying that you're finding this challenge a blessing, even through the difficulties it may bring about in your heart and mind.
