Started a lottle rocky this morning, the energy in the house was high so we got out wrnt for a little brunch, took the kids to the dollarstore to get some new bird houses to paint and then took the oldest skating. It was another really good day, overall a reallg good weekend. I know that sounds ridiculous but some weekends with small ones are just not great!!
This week I work for 3 days, then have 2 days to get the house tip top for the home exchange. A bit nervous about that as its our first one, but its kind of nice in a way that its given us a push to get things done around the house. I love the purging and organizing and getting those little (and big) things done you just havent had a second to do. son has his appt tomodrow for a hearinf test and then heāll be able to see the ENT finally. Only been waitinf 2 years for this! Hope we get some answers and maybe get him a little relief. Supposed to hear back from the CPS supervisor as well and have a meetinf and meet with nephews case manager. Its a busy week stacked up but im excited to see my mom and nephew next week (even though I am also sad at the same time I wont be working. That sounds hilarious to me. But i love this job).
Anyway. Wishing you all an awesome & restful night xo.

Had a bit of a trying start to the day with some car issues. But it lead to a good day.
Gym in the morning then got a new battery for my car.
Picked up the kids from school, why is it that if its going to start raining itāll be when school pickup is on?
Now just doing some homework with the youngest while cooking dinner.
So good.

Was very mindful with food yesterday. Kept my food journal. Kept listening to my signals.
New week, new Monday. Last week was about studying game design. This week Iām going to start a project to recreate video game classics in order to learn design patterns. Iām starting with a very simple one: Pong.
Iāll have a class at school today, my daughter is still running a cold, and Iām hoping for some yoga in the afternoon.
Whatever comes today I want to listen and stay on track.
Have peace, kindness and freedom in your day today
Mission complete upstairs, the only thing missing is the fooring in the guestroom still.
Yesterday I dragged the family out of the house again. We went to a candy store even if it was Sunday. Surprisingly none of the boys found anything they wanted to buy or try. So we ended up dining at a hamburger place instead.
Just read in this mornings newspaper that Norwegians are going to Sweden for grocery shopping. Nothing new really, besides that the news said that a lot of them are going for the Gluten free assortment and prices. Mostly by the border where we usually go for vacation.
Fun thing is that we also go there dor the gluten free assortment and prices. We usually jokes about that itās crazy that we have to travel to the border to buy groceries.
Couldnāt sleep tonight, nightmares. Not about the past this time. Canāt remember when that actually happend so itās a good thing. Eventually I decided that I wouldnāt try to sleep anymore. So I went up really early. Did some exercise and took a long shower. Prepared everything for the boys going back to school and then I woke them up when I felt ready.
It was a new experience for me. Usually I do the opposite, I do everything for everyone else first and then If Iāve got the time I make myself ready and wakes everybody up.
Maybe the words from both my psychologist and life coach actually is starting to make sense.
And as usual Iām amazed on how much I actually get done when Iām not prioritizing drinking instead of everything else. It really makes me wonder why I keep getting back to drinking.
Iām so sorry for your loss @Sunny11 , lost my mom almost 20 years ago to breastcancer. Itās such an awfull disease
Welcome back, we are here for youā£ļø
Itās usually the same when I decide Iāve got enough winter and puts away all the warm clothes and boots.
I usually starts around Valentineās day, and wants spring. My mother usually keeps reminding me that the year I was born (-85) there was a huge Blizzard in the middle of March, so on my birthday (The 9th) no one could even think about coming to visit me at the hospital.
So she had to be all alone there for the two weeks I had to stay. And my father was so sad that he couldnāt visit me. I was born with jaundice so I had to stay under what we call a barn lamp for two weeks.
son has his appt tomodrow for a hearinf test and then heāll be able to see the ENT finally. Only been waitinf 2 years for this! Hope we get some answers and maybe get him a little relief. Supposed to hear back from the CPS supervisor as well and have a meetinf and meet with nephews case manager.

Hope you had a relaxing Sunday and were able to get out for your walk
On my way!
