You enjoy those last moments of RELAXTION not laziness before heading back into busy busy working mum mode.
Way to go for you mother, hope she can persist.
Funnily enough I was doing a PD for teachers today about self-regulation and the difficulty kids can have identifying their triggers, naming emotions and finding ways to deal with them, especially those with trauma in the lives. We have been trialling a program that helps them find their common triggers but also helps simplify it with taking away the need to identify a specific emotion - if they get into the 'ballpark' of a representative colour they can still work through it with the use of tools for that colour which we refer to as a 'zone' if that makes sense. So I guess what I am saying is hang in there emotions are never easy - find what 'zone' you are in and fix it from there if necessary. Or maybe its been that you have been soooo busy that the things that bugged you kind of snuck up on you and affected your mood without realising it.
Yes they do. I guess whilst we are 'chatting' we are being quite reflective and pretty much writing a journal entry with each post. I never did get into writing a diary when I was younger or over the years - I guess it felt a bit weird to be writing to nothing as in 'dear diary' or to myself I suppose but on here it feels like a conversation - because it is but then sometimes it is just a aaahhhh here are my thoughts and doesn't even matter if no-one really responds it is just out there - in our shared collected supportive reflections. okay I feel like I am rambling - time to shut that down.
Last night was NOT good. My day started off great - did a gently 15 minute walk to shops and back, had a great day at work, probably got a little warmer than I liked at work due to wearing jeans and then we had quite the warm weather day (I told you all spring is on its way for me with a vengeance), came home, cooked dinner for the 3 kids all had work, had another 15 minute walk while they got ready and a 15 minute gently yoga, took them to work, came home made myself dinner and then BAM right when I was finishing the washing up - another aura migraine - as I was home alone this increased my anxiety to the point that I ended up knocking on my lovely next door neighbours door (owner of our shared kitty I talked about the other day) and she was kind enough to chatter away to me for 20 or so minutes until it passed. I have had the left over foggy headache today

So no walking today - but I have stayed on track with my eating today. I think I pushed it all too hard, got hot during the day and the stress of worrying about statin or not statin and blood sugar all crept up on me.
WOOHOO Wednesday for me is for my neighbour when I needed a friendly face last night.
WOOHOO - I am re-doing my hard work I am down 2kg in just under a week.
WOOHOO - kind of - I booked accommodation for my mother and I for the weekend in Brisbane - we are going to my nieces wedding who decided for some weird reason to have her wedding in a distant, random area west of Brisbane - no where near where anyone lives - including herself! And no, it doesn't have any sentimental meaning either. Staying where we are doesn't put us super close (as there is no accommodation really close to the venue) but it will break up the drive from 90 minutes one way (not accounting for any traffic) into 60 - get ready at hotel - and then 30 minutes to venue.
