One week down

Ever since I got pregnant with Baby I feel like I have fallen off my game.  I haven't stayed on top of Guy's homework at all.  My house hasn't been very clean except when other people have cleaned it for me.  My garden turned into a big weed patch.  And my children have spent way too much time in front of the computer.

Let me tell you, that doesn't do much to help my self-esteem.   I want to change it,  and every day I say I am going to so something about it, but most days I just spend my day doing worthless time wasting activities.

So my goal this next week is to only get myself involved in mindless activities on my tablet when I am nursing Baby.  I can give myself 30 min, or as long as he eats which ever is longer.

The rest of the time I will work on cleaning up my house or yard, play with my kids, or make sure the necessities like laundry and dishes are done.

Day 6

Today we went to an Easter egg hunt at my parents home.  This was the first time since Baby was born, that we have gone somewhere as a whole family, that we needed to be there by a set time in the morning.   It was rather stressful for me this morning trying to get all of the kids and myself ready to go.  I was afraid I would need to stay home with Baby because I wasn't ready.   But thanks to some help from the hubs we were all able to go and be there on time.

Day 5 Better late than never

I totally forgot to post anything yesterday.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping.  It felt great that I still had plenty of energy to put the groceries away when I got home.  It has been a long time since I felt that way.  And I didn't take a nap yesterday either.   Not because I didn't get a chance,  but because I didn't need one.

Day 4

Today I took some me time.  I took a bath, and I went to Costco,  bought some flowers,  and made an arrangement for my table.

Day 3

Today was better.   I am still feeling sick, but with pain meds it wasn't too bad.  I spent some time outside with Spike.  It is different seeing the world through the eyes of a 2 year-old.   I didn't get a shower today, but I did get two naps. BIt is nice having my sister here so that I can do that kind of thing.  This is her last week here, so I am hoping I can get over this cold while she is here.  I will have to see how my emotional wellbeing is effected by her leaving. BI will have to do more, which could be good for me, but I won't have as much adult interaction,  which could be hard.

Day 2

Today I think I am getting sick.  I have a sore throat, and ache all over.   It is hard to say how much my emotional well being is related to how I am feeling physically.   I didn't get a shower until noon, and didn't feel motivated to do anything,  while I wandered around the house in my pajamas until then.  But was that because I was still in my pajamas,  or because I am sick?  I wasn't feeling sick until after my shower,  just tired.   I helped Guy with his homework this morning and hung up the girls dressesbin their closet.  But I feel like other than feeling Baby, that is all I did that was productive.

Day 1

Today I took a shower, and cleaned my sewing area.  Having a clean area helps me feel better, and it helps me feel like I might actually be able to do some of my sewing.   I also read 1 chapter out of a book for recreation.
