It's been a CRAZY week. We got our cooking for the month done on Saturday with a small bit of work left over on Sunday. Once again, I DIDN'T do the prep work the night before, so if I had, we'd have been done on Saturday. I'm also getting less than happy with the once a month mom website. The first month was great, the second month and last month the menus had SO many errors. But I've liked a lot of the recipes so far. I think we'll be ending our membership with them soon, though. Especially as we've made a lot of progress on our own software. Not as much progress as I wanted (blasted migraines!) but some good progress.
I've managed to get so much done this week, but not spaced out each day like I want to, but in big clumps of effort followed by days of tired....which defeats the point of trying to establish new habits. I've been so busy, it's been hard to maintain my habits. But I've gotten about three or four loads of laundry washed and dried today, and half of them folded -(I plan to get the other half tomorrow!)- which is more than I've done since Christmas (we were getting pretty naked, not that my husband minds.....but the neighbors.....I'm sure they would!).
Tuesday I spent the day at the University with a rented vendor table and was able to get 11 new bookings for my Mary Kay business, so excited! (It was a much smaller result than I had hoped for, so I've had to talk myself into being excited, but I am, it's a good start!)
I've gotten cleaning and laundry and Mary Kay and some organization done this week....and yesterday I crashed hard. Today I got back on the horse, but my house still looks like I took a month off..... oh well. I'll do more tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to report new bookings, better laundry habits, and more feelings of self joy.
I have to say, I feel like I am making progress at being more responsible. Maybe not at doing my habits EVERY day, regularly, but at actually being cognizant of the need to get them done, and steadily (several times a week) getting it done. It's more than I've done for years of my life, and I think that's a start. Someday, I hope to look back at this blog and say to myself, look how far you've come. And I think I will be able to. I keep telling myself I will.
You can do it Crystal!! You've already moved forward more than you think. :) I haven't heard you talk about Mary Kay in quite a while, I'm glad your making time to work on that while still being the mother you want to be for your kids. :) I'm so happy for you!
