I’m linking up with Rach & Sara for this post. If you wanna play, too, grab the button, write up your week’s lessons on life, and link up!
- Sleep is still an issue in my house. Although I cope with crappy sleep much better now than I ever did before, it still messes with my head (and body) every once in a while.
- Working out, even when you REALLY don’t want to, actually feels good when you’re done. Who knew!
- Working out after a night of crappy sleep is just not gonna happen.
- Caffeine makes me anxious. Which totally sucks for someone who is chronically sleep deprived.
- My mother taught Jax his name while I was in New Orleans. I’d been working on it with him for a while before then, but he gets it now. And he pronounces Jackson like this: Yat-yin. It’s mega cute.
- It’s a natural high to attend a La Leche League meeting. For real. Meeting other breastfeeding moms was uplifting. It was nice to meet some women who’ve had c-sections & some who have high-needs tots & discuss the things going on in our lives.
- Getting out of the house is pretty nice. I think I’ll do it more often.
- When I have rare time alone in my house, instead of enjoying the silence and doing something just for myself, I will clean something. Or try to cram in as many other chores as possible. And then I’ll go back to complaining I never have time for myself.
- Jax likes art. Our first trip to the art museum with him was a success. I think there will be more museums in our future. Hooray!
- Maybe I like Facebook more than I thought I did. I’ve been a Twitter junkie for a while now, bashing the FB from time to time. But maybe I don’t have to choose between them, but rather use each one in a different way depending on their strengths. Maybe FB doesn’t have to be all about long-lost acquaintances whining about their crappy day at work.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Have a great day! Don’t forget to link up so we can share what you’ve learned this week!
Oh elusive sleep! I tell Donut I’ll get her back when she’s a teenager. I do the same thing as you–when things are quiet and I can get some rest, I start cooking or cleaning or doing not-fun things and then wonder why I don’t get to relax more.
Getting out of the house is a must for me now too. Donut likes it and she always behaves in public!
This was a great list!! I need sleep too- although I can function on a minimal amount. People just wouldn’t want to be around me. That should be fun when I have kids….
Thanks for linking up!!
I completely agree with B and C. I dread running in the mornings, but I feel great afterward. Then again, I go to bed so late at night that waking up in the morning to run, is sometimes impossible. I also complain about not having a lot of alone time. My son will spend the day with my parents, but I end up getting absolutely nothing done for myself. We have to work on that because time alone is very much needed!
Have a great weekend!
I’m into Facebook for groups. I’m in 4 different mom/womens groups and I have to be careful not to just hang out posting on them all day. I almost never even look at my timeline anymore.
Janine, groups are why I suddenly don’t hate FB. I’m in 8 all of a sudden!
The thing about doing chores when you’re home alone….I totally get that! You can turn on your fave musice and no one is in your way or interrupting you. But yeah, sometimes you have to make yourself NOT do chores.
I never did LLL, but yeah, having support while you’re breastfeeding is a good thing.
