This month has been a long month, but it has gone by way too quickly. With the kids home, and James home, I’m behind on everything, the house is mess, but I’m just wiped out. I’ve skipped menu planning for the month, and I haven’t been sticking to my vegetarianism. That might explain why I feel so crappy.
I think I’m just going to try to get it back together in January.
So this is going to be one of those grumpy posts out of me, so I’ll just leave this here… Continue reading
This week the kids had a full five days of school. I set my goals for the week, and grocery shopped on Monday. I was feeling pretty good about getting a few things done. Then I got sick…
My allergies started acting up, darn ragweed. Weird symptoms turned into a painful migraine, and I’m well on my way through a cluster headache cycle.
It is just miserable…
I realized this as I was following my seven year old downstairs.
She wanted to go swimming with her brothers, but I had to get her ready first. I knew she wouldn’t be out there for more than fifteen minutes, and it takes a good fifteen minutes to get her ready to go to the pool. Nevertheless, I got her prepped for the pool, and we proceeded to head downstairs.
My glasses slipped off my nose on the way downstairs. No matter what I do, they just don’t fit quite right. My clothes were a mess, I had on a top for cleaning, and comfy pants that I was planning on sleeping in. My hair was still wet from the shower that I took earlier in the morning. I hadn’t even run a comb through my hair, I just threw it up in a wet bun on the way to wake up the kids for the day. I can’t even remember if I’ve brushed my teeth today. Damn! I’m a mess!
I’m in no way a girly-girl. I’m scared of complicated hair-styles and proper make-up, but I’m thirty-seven… Why haven’t I graduated to better self-care by now?!?
So I’ve decided to get out of my comfort zone, and get myself together this year. Help keep me motivated, and accountable. Leave me some tips, suggestions, or ideas to get this girl off of her butt and doing a bit better.
We have just one more week to go, and I hope I can stay sane enough to make it. This has been one of the longest Summer’s ever… I’ve already told James that I’ll probably be completely silent for the first two weeks of the school-year, my ears have longed for peace and quiet since May. I am already planning on cleaning, a lot, like everything in sight! I’m also going to watch something other that youtube or twitch. It will be nice to not have to break up a fight between kids every thirty seconds. One more week… Just one more week.
