So yesterday was a lot of fun, we managed to get to the park, even got my 10,000 steps in, spent a good amount of time together playing and even made a huge dent in decorating our D.I.Y barbie house (a well crafted, well decorated box).
That was when a new problem came up, is there ever enough hours in a day, after managing all the fun things i wanted to do, looming over me was all the grown up things i have to do.
Teaching, cleaning, cooking and sorting and don’t even get me started on bathing. Before i knew it its late and I’m still having to do things, there was so much that needed doing i decided to save it for today instead and get a decent rest.
There needs to be some sort of balance, if i am always saving things for tomorrow, will it ever come, my bedroom will be the dumping ground for all and no one wants that.
I am proud of yesterdays achievements but there has to be an easier way surely, stream lining, cut out all wasted time, work faster but surely putting more pressure on myself to do more and more is going to make me burn out, or yet again quit.
Today i am devising a plan to divide and conquer, it is only in the beginning stage so today will be a chaotic mess, but i have managed to get the children to at least say they will co-operate with the promise of if we all work as a team on the little things surely there will be more time for fun big things.
I will smooth out the rough edges to get it as organised as i can whilst trying to stick to yesterdays enthusiasm for a month, if it doesn’t, back to the drawing board and see what else needs to be changed, but one thing i know for sure i am not going back to how things were.
So day two of trying to transform my life i am feeling a bit sore, pretty sure my knees have decided to begin a revolution against the rest of my body, im really tired, but i am still feeling optimistic, proud and excited, I can feel that this time is different, there is a new energy in the air and it makes me excited for the future.
