Did I blog at all for week 6?! I seriously can't remember...*sigh*....I am overwhelmed by life right now.
Sign #1 you have too much on your mind...you forget to plan a birthday party for your daughter...again...two years in a row. Seriously should have planned a winter baby. This time of year always seems to be so hectic for me and I really don't know why. This year it's extra time consuming just trying to get this shit-show of selling the house on the go. (Almost there...)
This week is all about quiet time...which I am desperately lacking, so I don't care if I have to live in a tent in the woods, I'm getting my hour of silence each day! I would love to say that I'll get it every day at yoga, but sadly...I haven't been in like 3 weeks. I have been managing some yoga time in the shower and a few stretches before bed. It's likely I will give up my studio when I move anyway, so I guess I should start trying to do more home practices anyway. Hopefully the kids don't mind seeing my upside down ass in the living room!
I haven't figured out yet how I'm going to manage a full hour of silence. I tried today, but managed about 45 minutes before the kids came flying in the house, demanding food, and leaving a trail of dirt behind them. I still haven't nailed it into their heads yet that I only have to provide food items in the house...I do not have to prepare it and hand it to them on a silver platter. Tonight I decided it was a "fend for yourself" night. That ended up with tears and hissy fit...apparently Grace doesn't think cheese and crackers is an acceptable supper?! So she cooked pasta and ate it with no sauce, like I forced her into it. (Pffft....like that's gonna make me feel bad?!)
I need a plan. Nightly baths will result in too many knocks at the door. Sitting outside means dealing with my lovely neighbors. Going to bed means I'll fall asleep and that wouldn't count. I am not safe in house when the kids are home. It's like "MOM" is the only word they know between the hours of 6pm and 10pm. The only logical thing I can think of it to duct tape the kids mouths shut for an hour and lock them in their rooms....seems legit so I'm going with it.
