Wednesday March 30, 2011 Feeling Springy

Today's Good Things:
A bit of extra sleep this morning
On track with lessons and chores
I did great with food choices/calories today
Gorgeous weather got me out for my afternoon mile AND another family mile after dinner :-)
Enjoyed using my new washer..yay!
Watched a movie all to myself. That was lovely.

Today's Not So Good Things:
My sweet boy's pet gerbil was found "expired" this morning. Funeral was held after lunch. ;-)
Afternoon snack was too carb-y
Missed my Morning 15
Staying up too late to get this in!

It was simply a lovely day.  (well, not counting the sad details of the burial ;-) ) The weather had that hint of warmth to it. The sun was shining down and in and filling up my mind with thoughts of clean windows and walls and basements and yard. Ahhhh...I can still smell the freshness. It won't last long, as I hear tell we are to have 6-12 inches arriving by Friday. Give thanks in all things, right? Right. :-)

I'm finally finding the groove again of paying attention and caring about how I eat during the day. Two days in a row I took the time to make my own lunch rather than gobble down what was easy at the table.

I did end up feeling a little edgy by the end of the day. I think I was just getting to that spot in the week where I needed a little time to myself to regroup and relax.  I seem to need that alone time every so often to refresh my mind and remotivate my brain.

Tomorrow is Thursday which is our wrap up day for the week. I'm so grateful! I admit, I am the one who is counting down the days until spring break. I am the one who is longing for the freedom of no books, tests, and assignements. I am the one who is wishing it all away instead of enjoying and embracing the moment as I should. Serves me right to have winter blast me yet again. I will be grateful and I will rejoice in the challenges of our days. I wonder how the family would feel about turning this next snow into a Farewell To Winter Party? That sure would turn the frowns around! :-)
