HI, everyone! Our Country is in a mess, isn't it? It's real and downright scary, and for many of us my age and younger, the first time we've all had to face something like this and it seems so crazy.
First of all, it is so important to maintain a routine during unsettling times. The kids are out of school & for my kiddo, it means extra hugs, kisses and reassurance to her and for her. She isn't sure what's happening, but we are just trying to maintain some normalcy for her.
And who am I kidding? I'm a very busy person and I NEED routine as well. My work just called it off for the week.. last night when I heard I was very unsettled about it. What was I going to do at home? How was I going to be able to get things done around the house and get classwork, real estate course and my Budget Mom stuff done (I can get it done when I'm working 3-4 jobs a week, but how can I keep the pace up when I'm home all day?? Right.. doesn't that sound ridiculous!!). Okay, I'm putting myself on a routine this week & just trying to stay positive!
Day 1 at home: I went to H's office for a few hours with him this am & cleaned and organized his space. I did some budget mom/wife stuff; and then came home.. had lunch with Grace (she is eating Sour cream & onion chips like a champ) .. did a wee little bit of real work stuff, cleaned out the refrigerator & now updating my thoughts to paper.. before I have to start dinner, bath & get on an online meeting at 6:30pm. A productive day to say the least.
And for excercise.. I walked up 3 flights of stairs (before I was really out of breath) & ran down all 4 flights of stairs. It's chilly out, or else I would've gone for a walk. My goal is to plank later for at least 10 seconds (i'll get it up to 15-20 before the end of the week).. as long as Grace isn't around.. I can't plank with her right near me.
Just stay positive & get into a routine people! And wash your hands.
Thanks :)
