Oops! I skipped a few days. I've been doing better about being busy living life instead of gravitating toward the Internet. That gaping black hole of Internet. What has happened in the last few days? We've done great at being consistent with school in the mornings. Been playing guitar and ukulele more. Discovered the hated "F Chord" in guitar. I feel relatively well during the day, but after going, going, going for most of the day, I crash and feel awful in the evening. Before I seek medical help, I am determined to straighten my diet out, increasing my protein and lessening my sugars. I will also be exercising daily and taking a nap every afternoon. It will not be easy. Every fiber of my being desires to fight this will, and yet it will be done. Something has got to change. I can't be the wife and mother that I want to be this way.
Today will be full of working on those aspects (diet, exercise, sleep) as well as school and the never ending cleaning. Although, now I have drive to clean things out so that we can clean the house out, do whatever renovations needed, and sell it this spring. Praying we will be able to buy land and build a house on it and transplant our living.
School was a challenge today. Good points: Gideon did *amazing* reading his words in his Phonics book. Started out painful, but he was getting the hang of it and reading with less help by the end. Hooray! Zoe was incredibly focused on getting her bookwork done. In the midst of all of this great learning, Toby was throwing a major fit about not being allowed to play with the iPad (another big push to not use tv/electronics until the afternoon). After finishing Phonics with Gideon, I read books with Toby and reconnected our relationship. Since then, no fits of screaming and crying. Wonder of wonders.
Closed the day out with Papa Murphy's pizza and watching "Hotel Transylvania" with the kids. Fun ending to a week and great beginning for the weekend.
