That’s what happened to me last week. I put all my focus on the kids and family again. Well, they were sick and this damn Swine Flu scare makes me even more stressed out.
Plus, it’s volleyball and gymnastic  season so every weekend is focused on the kids’ sports. And my volleyball daughter sprained her thumb pretty badly at practice. So last week I felt I was either at a sports event, or at the doctors.
I know, excuses, excuses.
Every time I get to my Monday post I have to look back carefully at my week and try to think of all the little things that I accomplished for myself. Here’s what I found.
1. I took a walk 3 times with the dogs.
2. I got my haircut which I totally spaced on the other week.
3. I sat down at the piano two days to practice.
4. I researched Japan Vacation Packages to get an idea of which areas beside Tokyo we would want to explore.
I actually did more than I thought! But of course it could be a lot better. My goal for this week is to have a longer list. And on that list will be more exercise and better eating.
More piano practicing. And maybe even finding a date for Japan. That would be exciting!
Till next time,
Kim
