Weekly Diary – February 1 2015

Still not taking many photos. I feel like January went in a blur. I have been brave and taken risks and done so many more things than I usually do. But I also felt more hectic than I’d like to at times. I think I need to work a bit more on organizing my days better, chunking up my time better so I am not context switching so many times in a short period. I also need to just go to bed early, no matter what. Eight hours of sleep is a bare minimum for me. I need to honor that.

Here’s to hoping February feels a bit more settled.

In the spirit of keeping tabs on my priorities and goals weekly, here’s some of what worked and didn’t work this week so far:

Worked Well:

I got caught up on some of the art I hadn’t finished in the last week.
Still doing well with the skin cream.
It was a tough week for food but I still tried more than usual.
I really love teaching math to the boys.
I spent a lot of time with David and Nathaniel, working and playing.
We had a successful benefit pre-party.
Organized a social at work and one more coming up.
Bought both boys some books and took them out to celebrate for having such good feedback from their teachers.
Did more research into middle schools.
Did better on sleep. I went to sleep at 7 two nights in a row.
Finally bought presents for David’s birthday.

Needs more Work:

I am still not journaling but I have a plan, now.
I did not exercise this week. I feel really sad about this
I didn’t drink enough water or take my vitamins.
Still feeling disorganized and not-grounded.

So for this upcoming week, I really want to focus on coming up with a plan. Be more focused. Feel less frazzled. Feel more in control. And if I can also exercise, I’d consider that a big bonus.

Here are a few more photos from this week:

Nathaniel has started reading more and more and it makes me so happy to see it.
