My day started, as usual, with DD1 practically stamping on my head demanding that I get up. I dragged myself out of bed at 7:45. At 8ish, shortly after I exited the shower, the phone rang. It was our playdate saying the daughter was sick:( No playdate this morning. I called someone else and managed to arrange for a playdate for the afternoon, so all was saved.
Then we ate breakfast and actually cleaned up the stuff that DD1 had shoved behind the chair yesterday. So, yay for a nearly clean house:P
Then it was past time for lunch. We inhaled lunch and got on the road lickety-split because I saw the school bus pass by our house. O.o.
Drove around for a little more than 20 minutes for DD2 to fall asleep. Once I started playing the magic music, it was like five minutes. Wish I'd figured it out before that.
We came home and I emptied the dishwasher and played some mean scrabble games.
Woke DD2 up and got her set up in front of Barney. I started some beef stroganoff cooking and picked up a few more items that had gotten strewn around.
Walked to school to pick up DD1 and her friend. Walked home. Farted around and didn't do much. Finished off stroganoff and ate dinner.
See, there's my exciting life. I'm about to go lie down and read for a bit while the barbarians make cake:) Then we will go dancing.
Ok, here's the real excitement.
Ask Moxie has a 60 day challenge to better oneself. I'm too late to join them and not much of a crowd follower anyway, so I thought I'd do my own, starting tomorrow and running through the end of April. Ok, that's more than 60 days, but it's easier to remember. She challenged people to pick three things to do that would change their lives for the better (most people focused on health things). Here are my three things:
- do kegels every day (I'm not going to say how many; doing any will be an improvement)
- be more present with people, especially at dinnertime
- no more eating after dinner
It was hard to narrow it down to three things, but I think I can stick to these without any of them feeling too onerous or as if I'm punishing myself. The idea is to better one's life; not to punish oneself:P
If anyone wants to join me (or Moxie), feel free. I'm going to be checking in every day on these points (barring absence, etc).
