How I shone this week: Last week was another week of a lot of work, a lot of meetings, a lot of being tired. David left for DC on Saturday and I left for Seattle on Monday and came back on Tuesday. By Wednesday night, I was missing him so bad, I couldn’t see straight. It took all my energy to make it to Thursday night. But I made it. I worked hard, I tried to show up in every way so that I could be the best version of me. I am proud of my work but I love my kids so madly that it’s where I want to shine more than anywhere else.
Things I wanted to get Done: I walked into this week without a big todo list but then the list grew and grew and I ended up working all night Friday and most of Saturday to get to a good place with my list.
- Work: I documented a lot more stuff, i have a lot more to do 😉 I made the most of Seattle and definitely made it count.
- Vacation: I did not do this, and it was not good.
- Personal: No exercise this week at all. Did all the glow homework finally. Have a plan for August art. I can’t even remember what I ate this week. That can’t be good, right?
- Family: Took photos! Spending time with Jake’s parents 🙂
I celebrate: David being back!!
I am grateful for: my manager. he is so incredibly supportive. i am very lucky.
I nourished myself by: getting a bunch of items done. i feel good about it.
Reflecting on my worries: nothing happened to David and he had a great time. Flight was on time and I even made it to an earlier flight on the way back. I didn’t annoy anyone so far. I am quite tired. I ate so so. I did the glow homework 🙂 The class at work was so so but I plan to make the most of it.
I let go of: i try not to have work seep into the weekend but this weekend i got a bunch of personal work to-dos done and i feel good about it.
Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
- bold: i am stepping into things at work, trying to be hopeful.
- mindful: mindful of summer coming and the shift it implies for work/home
- nourish: i am bummed about the lack of progress here. i have some thoughts but need to spend some more time with them.
- love: i love my husband who is always so kind, so patient, so loving.
What made me laugh this week: friends at work. i really enjoyed my trip to seattle.
What I tolerated this week: david being gone. a long work week. travel.
My mood this week was: rushed.
I forgive myself for: not going to mom’s night out.
What I love right now: snuggling with my boys.
Here’s to a wonderful week twenty-two!
