I feel like I’m under pressure to make EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. COUNT.<\/p>\n
I feel like if\u00c2\u00a0 I take some time as down time, then I’m not going to be able to get everything done and if I get behind on stuff then how will I ever manage to stay on top of it all….laundry, cleaning, organizing, planning….so much stuff to do….<\/p>\n
See, today is my home day.\u00c2\u00a0 Right now I have 2 days during the week that I am fully at home and while I realize that this would be a HUGE luxury for some, this is a HUGE change for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I am used to every day being a home day and there is a\u00c2\u00a0HUGE part of me that liked the slower pace of being at home.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
To be completely honest, there was also aonther part of me that was completely bored…and so it’s a good thing that I am now able to be busy, but I am still in the whole “adjustment period” of things.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’ve had a child go from being at home every day to going to pre-school or kindergarten and they come home and are so over-tired from the overstimulation of the day…..that’s where I’m about right now.<\/p>\n
I come home absolutely exhausted whenever I’ve been working.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know how all you “working mom’s” do it.\u00c2\u00a0 I am finding that as with just about everything in life that I see both the positives and the negatives in our situation.\u00c2\u00a0 I do trust that it will eventually work it’s way out to a great routine, but this sorting things out and figuring out the new “normal” is a bit taxing – on me.\u00c2\u00a0 The kids seem to be doing good…Sunday’s are probably our hardest days just because of the length of the day, but again…we’ll work it all out soon enough.<\/p>\n
I know that I need to add some sort of an exercise routine into my schedule<\/span> life as it would probably help me out too.\u00c2\u00a0 Still working on a “schedule” – I hope I can figure one out soon.\u00c2\u00a0 I do so much better when I “know” what to expect, as opposed to just flailing around spontaneously…..although I recognie that a certain amount of spontanaiety can be a good thing especially if you tend to be a bit too controlled..not that I’m anything but completely balanced in that aspect…Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA!<\/p>\n Oh well……Today I’ve managed to\u00c2\u00a0made a big pot of chicken veggie soup from the roast chicken that we had for dinner last night and that should last us for dinner tonight as well as for a couple of lunches.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n The kids have tomorrow as a ProD day and we are just going to take them into work with us.\u00c2\u00a0 It should be interesting!\u00c2\u00a0 They can play and watch videos and I just have to figure out what to take for us all for lunches tomorrow….fun!<\/p>\n And then…..Then we are going to hang out with our friends<\/a> tomorrow night.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s been far too long since we have spent any time with them and it will be fun to just hang out and relax.\u00c2\u00a0 We can always use a little bit of downtime, and this is some of our most favorite ways to relax….hanging out with our friends…no agenda, just chillin’…<\/p>\n What are some of your favorite things to do to relax…either personally or as a family?<\/p>\n ps.\u00c2\u00a0 I added some of our pictures up over at Flickr so you can either click over <\/em>HERE<\/em><\/a> to check it out or click on the “Photos” button in the menu at the top.\u00c2\u00a0 There are about 6 new albums that you can click through – if you’re interested??<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I feel like I’m under pressure to make EVERY.
