Changes
Welcome! Today's theme for me is Changes.
This whole ordeal with the kittens has consumed me and I've decided to put it aside. I can't think of it anymore. They have good homes and they are loved, so why am I sad? I can see them whenever I want to! So I need to put it aside, not think of it if that is the case, and find other things to occupy my mind.
So I've spent the past few cold days making mental lists. And now I'm making some changes!
I'm changing the way I eat, because honestly I feel like crap. No more of that. I know how to eat right and thats what I'm going to do. Just as soon as I go shopping this weekend.
I really need to change my sleeping habits. I can't sleep at night so I sleep mostly during the day while the kids are in school. Somehow that has to change for a few different reasons. I'm hoping if I can start being up more during the day I can do some walking while the kids are still in school, maybe some bike riding. But first thing first, changing my sleeping habits.
I need to be stricter with the kids. Seriously they run all over me and by the evening I'm wiped out. Sometimes all three of them are going at once and I can feel my head spin. Time to get some order. Actually I put this in action a few days ago, and there was some grounding. One of the big problems is at night they call me upstairs no less than 20 times, up and down up and down, for little things that could have been said at any point during the day. Just excuses to stay up, excuses to see how far they can get with me, maybe? So enough of that. I've laid down some rules, last night was a little better but still. I know I never would have gotten away with this sort of thing. I am way too lenient, and I am the one that pays for it, so it needs to stop.
There are a few more changes happening, big ones, but I'm saving those until I know all the details. I'm super excited! This is all some really big stuff for me and I'm pretty excited to see it all go into motion. This is going to be one big busy summer!
Have a great day!

Oh, I am so with you on the kids part. Glad to see mine are not the only Evil ones on the earth.

I like all these changes you mentioned. We are having a lot of the same issues. The kids trying to get away with things, groundings, me getting to bed too late. The eating the wrong foods at times. Yes, yes, yes LOL I totally relate!! We will both feel better when things even out for us this year. Hugs and have a great weekend!

can't wait to hear about your big changes!
I'm real lenient with my kids too (or I should say I was lenient; now they are 19/22 years old); it is good to set ground rules and stick with them, I have found often the hard way
I bet you'll be able to get your schedule adjusted so you are awake during the day and asleep at night; I suffer from insomnia at times but since I woke days, I've been learning to try to find out ways to get better sleep at night, still a work in progress though

Sounds like your on you way with what changes you have already started talking about. I think you will do fine, sometimes that's all thats needed is the motivation.
Love the picture of you and the kittens. (Hugs) Indigo
