I got up - the pain was there but I decided to just go forward - this is a new day - a new week and the first day of the rest of my life (yada, yada, yada) So I decided to clean house.  I cleaned up the living room, started my laundry, cleaned the kitchen and the dining room and did a load of dishes!  Yea and nobody was even up then.

My son got up and took a shower.  Then I started him on sweeping and mopping the floor.  He reminds me so much of my brother - he must of asked 1000 questions on how to sweep the floor and mop it.  Our little floor took 1.5 hours for him to sweep and mop - we are talking about approximately 200 square feet - even me being slow and in pain - I am able to do that in about 30 minutes.  It did get me in hysterics though - I just kept laughing.  I then took a nap and then got up and did more reading.  Now that I actually am getting to settle down and read a bit - I don't want to stop.

After dinner - I read for a bit more then talked to everyone about dinner for the week so I would know what to go grocery shopping for tomorrow.  Luckily since my son is on half days at school this week - I can pick him up and have him help me with the shopping.

Tuesday is his birthday so he chose that he wanted a particular type of special ice-cream (has to be dairy free since he is allergic) and steak and mashed potatoes with peas - not a bad choice for a birthday dinner!

16!  I cannot believe he is almost 16!  Where does the time go?

Waiting....

Image
I feel like I am just stuck waiting ... waiting to figure out the next part of our lives.  We just have to keep waiting for answers, waiting for people to get in the office, waiting for this or that.  It is scary and hard since we cannot even figure out what our lives will be in a month and we don't know the best answers or what should we do.  Do we pack up and move far away or do we stay and gamble on more than a part time job.  Do we hang on here and plan or will we end up being broke and homeless.

Balance

I have been struggling with balancing my life.  I am one of those people who is often an all or very little person.  When I get tired or depressed or my body is hurting, I struggle to do even the basics.  The house gets messy quickly, everything gets backlogged and so forth. But then I get energy back or feel better and suddenly I have a really good day of cleaning and I am able to keep up for a few days or weeks and then I slide back.  I am trying to find the balance - today I am soar because yesterday I cleaned house for 8+ hours - so today I am taking it easier and picking up and keeping things clean but not taking on huge projects. Although I took care of 2 annoying things.   The Master Bath Toilet whistled loudly every time you flushed it so I took care of that and our alarm was telling us the keypad had low batteries so I took care of that.  Let's hope I can keep up with things for a bit.

  This year I am starting to have to deal with some chaos.  I came back from the Priestess Retreat and found my husband is very sick and they don't know exactly what it is.  So here is where I am with my seeds of intent...   1.  Continue to work on my health - kind of have slipped but I am working on my diabetes. 2.  Start balancing my case load so it is not overwhelming - I have figured it out to be much better for me and allow me to work more while stressing less. 3.  Continue to follow the path the Goddess has put in front of me especially when it comes to being a therapist - with work I am doing a good job on this - I am taking on what is put in my path 4.  Continue to process letting go of my daughter - still trying to let go - making lots of progress. 5.  Be good to myself - trying - I am struggling a bit with depression and being overwhelmed. 6.  Focus on organizing my life so it allows me to do what I need to do to be...
