I have been stressed out. I haven't had a single day where I have had nothing to do. No leasure time with my family at all. So after spending almost a month trying to identify where all my stress and irritability was coming from, I've finally found it.
I also think that it's the cause of my lack of motivation for doing things around the house. All I dream about these days is bedtime and for elves to clean my house and do the laundry. Well I'm done with this feeling, I think it's pathetic. It's still an uphill battle, but I believe I have the advantage. It may have kicked me while I was down, but no bones were broken so time to kick it's ass.
I started fixing myself last night. I did a workout routine and have set things up for myself so that I have ZERO excuse to not do it at least 5 days a week. I'll take 2 days off - Wednesday and Thursday (my husbands days off). I already feel good about it although I am soar today .
This morning, I did what I always find to be therapeutic, whether or not I need it to be. I made bread. Egg bread. I wasn't in the mood to go buy bread at the store so I did it myself instead. If it wasn't for Mia liking that bread for her PB&J's, I probably wouldn't buy bread at all. She will just have to adjust.
I also got a descent handle on the starting of my vegetable garden and I'm hoping that if I can stop Mia from making mud pies in that area, and keep up with the weeding, that will be an accompishment for me as well.
So in the beginning of the end, I can already say that I have won. Now, to schedule a massage and do some research for my next dinner party - I will be doing a Classic French dessert and the possibilities seem endless, so this should be fun. Can't wait!
