Taco Tuesday
We started a sticker chart to track good behavior. The morning checklist includes: getting dressed, brushing hair, putting on shoes and socks, brushing teeth and getting out the door on time. It was a great, smooth morning and I think we both started the day on a really positive note. I hope we can keep up the momentum.
The work day was very meeting-ful, including a two hour meeting straight through lunch. I felt tired and draggy. I needed a break or fresh air or to move my body, but I powered through. I told myself that if I just got through it, I could end my day a little early. Spoiler alert: I did not end my day early, but I did end it so there’s that.
The day felt like forever, but there were good spots, too:
I walked D to school and ran into friends when we got there. Short chats. A little movement for my day (before a very, very sedentary day). Smiles and laughs. Seeing the kids D plays with. Giving her a hug before leaving.
A delicious smoothie for breakfast. Gut healthy, no sugar added and so, so filling. Good flavor. Healthy ingredients. I felt like I was starting my day with good stuff.
Great updates from our canning in Washington. We made excellent progress on getting everything canned, in new package, with higher doses of CBD. Feeling good about getting these out into the market.
Taco Tuesday with the fam. Ground turkey taco meat. Salads for me and A. Tacos for D. Everyone sitting at the table together, talking about what we’re grateful for (D - a good morning and good listening! Mama walking her to school!). Homework completed. Dishes washed. A great end to the day.
We had some hiccups at bedtime. I think A was grumpy and kind of took it out on D. It’s hard not to intervene when I feel the energy ramping up in a bad way. I try to let them work it out on their own, but I couldn’t do it last night. I jumped in and I’m glad I did. D was so activated and sad, and had a hard time regulating. I was glad to be there to help her know that she is safe and ok and did such a great job listening throughout the day and taking care of her responsibilities. We ended on a calm note and I’m glad for that.
Tomorrow is another day.
