Hello life!

I finally, FINALLY, have my life back!  For this week anyway.

Monday was a bit of a bust, but I think I got a few things done.  Yesterday the kids were home sick, but I still got stuff done.  Today, I have all day to get stuff done!  I got gas, because my gas light went on.  I normally don't leave it under half a tank, but I guess I was busy.  Then I washed the car in and out.  It looks so nice!

I have to update my devices, and keep going on the den.  One day, this room will be clean all the time! Maybe...

I am hoping to get enough of the den done to go to my room in the basement and get that under control.  Once I have all that stuff done, hopefully I can keep up with it and move on to the next projects!

This weekend I had a soccer tournament - we won bronze!  I played 4 games, the first game on Saturday I had a 10 minute shift!  Normal shifts are 30 seconds to 2 minutes.  I was a bit jello legged after that, but I still played well.

My husband tried to inject some chaos into my life again by wanting to go to Germany this weekend.  Yes, in 4 days.  We really wanted to go to the FC Barcelona vs Bayern Munich game in Munich, but we just can't get tickets.  Ok, we can, but they are $400 and up and we're not sure if we can even trust the ticket site as it is second party.  It would have been amazing!  I guess we'll try again another time.

I'm sure I could have pulled an overseas trip off in 4 days, I really am.  But I don't like last minute things.  I'm not really good at spontaneity.

The fundraiser for the school went well, well enough that I will do it again next year.  Behaviour modification therapy has also gone well.  I've learned a lot and know its time to put all of that into action!  A lot of it is day to day stuff, but there is some work I need to do too.  Making goals, having plans....that might take some time for me to figure out.

Overall I am feeling positive and excited about what is to come.  I am excited to get more crap out of my house.  I am looking forward to getting back to the gym to compliment what I already do in soccer. I am also looking forward to focusing on me for a little while.  What do I want to do, what my goals are, that sort of thing.  I am learning to say no, I am panicking less, I even answer the phone from time to time.  But I usually just hang up on people now.  It feels good!

On Friday, I spent the whole day at home working on my stuff.  After school, the kids asked me how my day was and I got to answer - awesome!  To be honest, it was awesome because not one person bugged me all day!  The phone didn't ring, no one asked me to do anything, and I didn't even get any texts!  It was a great day. (I am not anti social - but I do get to decide how much social interaction I have in a day, and I didn't want any that day!) Ha - behaviour modification in action!

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
