happiness project: Energy (May)
May is here! And now it is time for me to buckle down and retackle my Happiness Project. As I outlined last month, this month I’ll be focusing on energy once again. The main categories of items I’ll ba\e tackling this month are : sleep, food, drinks, supplements, exercise, and environment. The first week, I’m
Happiness Project: July – Energy
A new month, a new item to tackle for my Happiness Project! As a reminder (to myself!), May’s focus was on Diet. Unfortunately, our month on the road negated most of what I had gained (or lost) during May. Thus July is going to be a dual focus — getting back to where I was
Struggling to Keep Up
I had been doing so well at staying on top of everything and even moving forward on a number of projects. But after our trip to New York last weekend, I have managed to fall behind on just about everything, except for work. It is so frustrating to have a to-do list that is a
weathering the weather
Today, despite being it being Thursday, I am surprisingly content and relaxed; the Thursday run-a-round isn’t bringing me down for a change. Perhaps this is because I am feeling healthier than I have in a long time (fish oil? blueberries? low-carb?). Perhaps this is because I don’t feel behind at work (though I will be
under control
For the first time in months (or years?), I don’t have an overwhelming sense of panic. Things seem to be mostly under control. No big piles of things that need to be sorted. No to-do list that is threatening to explode. An inbox that is almost empty Slow and steady progress on longer term projects
chaos in the house
I thought we had packing down to a science. And I thought the work I had done to outfit Evie would make it so we could just hop in and go. But, somehow, things did not go well this morning. Three hours later and we are still not sure that we have everything ready to
Thursday, Thursday
As I’ve mentioned about a million times to anyone who will listen, I hate Thursdays. I admit, it is partly a monster of my own creation. I choose to schedule library day and Chloe’s gymnastics on the same day as homeschool classes in order to free up the rest of the week. Having only one
It’s the Blueberries, I’m Sure!
Uh oh. Having been home for two weeks straight, eating better (it’s the blueberries, gotta be the blueberries), and, perhaps, the arrival of a taste of spring have brought me loads of energy. I’m getting all my usual things done with lots of energy to spare. With this energy and time, I’ve been tackling all
One Small Step
A bunch of my friends on Facebook have started to post simple thing they do each day that bring them an “incremental step” towards being who they really want to be. I’ve avoided this movement for a while, but, this weekend, decided it might fit well with my plans to find more energy. There are
Feeling Better, Though Only Slightly
Today I caught up on hours missed at work last week due to what I now think was a virus (I should have taken a sick day!). I stayed on top of my other “projects”. I did a little more than the minimum amount of homeschooling with the girls. I made chowder from scratch for
Home, for a while
After our January of trip after trip after trip, it feels a little strange to not be away or anxiously prepping for the next trip. I haven’t counted yet, but we really haven’t been home much this month (I think November 2010 is still in the lead with five days home, however.). I do feel
Where Oh Where Has My Energy Gone?
As I ease into the weekend, I’m feeling anxious. I did not get done everything that needed to get done this week, and here we are trying to beat the clock to hit the road. When will these things get done? I believe myself to be efficient at time and task management overall. I (usually)
Iโm Tired
I have so many things I want to blog about. Our trip this past weekend to LEAF. Thoughts on throwing out the baby with the bathwater (and all the dogmatism that drives me nuts). Our upcoming trip to Turkey and frustrations of not being in control. The girls and their knitting and pottery creations. But
