Long, exhausting day -- out of the house most of the day, doing some babysitting and giving a friend a ride, and still keeping ourselves mostly to our updated routine. We managed to do our homeschooling (including totally rocking at the narration bits, which can be a struggle for both me and Sarah), meditation, making progress at putting things back where they go, doing our bedtime routine, and Sarah did a phenomenal job of her practice work. And I did my morning routine, got in my exercise, got in a decent amount of healthy food, and continued to avoid the sweetened drinks. And the whole time I remained calm and upbeat, no matter how many gentle reminders I had to give about the habits we're working on. There's room for improvement -- I didn't get in my own reading, any music practice, or my reaching-out time (basically an opportunity to sit down every afternoon and reach out to one person I haven't kept up with as well as I'd like, or just to take a few minutes to catch up on getting back to folks over email or on LJ or FB) -- but I'm so very pleased with the progress thus far.
