It’s hard to keep up with how swiftly things have picked up around here, and still manage to remain in a calm state of mind.
The kids have quite the list of activities outside of school, between the 4.
One is going through several medical appointments, trying to determine what the root cause of the issues she’s experiencing. I would say that December 2020, has the most doctor visits on record by far, in our lives. We have a total of 8 doctor appointments this month alone. It’s hard to keep up with who needs to be where, but if I didn’t have it written down, we would be in a mess of trouble.
There are 3 kids now involved with the Big Brother Big Sister program, and so they have outings once to twice a month also.. EACH… so, keeping that straight is also a matter of writing it down on the books, or it could be forgotten.
Then, we have the holiday cheery type of events, which mostly include virtual, at home, so we can relax a bit on those. If we miss one, it’s ok.. 🙂
We also have family activities, like this weekend, will be our family holiday baking time. Christmas cookies, holiday breads, and treats.
The kids are still off of their computers, but I have given them some time to play the Nintendo Wi, and they seem to be enjoying that. It’s limited, and when they get their computers back, it will also be limited. I am trying to teach them about balance, and responsibilities are first. We’ll see if anything stuck during this period of a break / reset.
They are hoping to get their computers back by Dec 18th.. I told them it depends on THEM.. I’m keeping their hopes up, and we will see how it goes down, as we get closer.
We have ups and downs, I still get stressed easily, and I’m trying to do better everyday.
Having the house decorated for Christmas sure helps with the mood, and boosts the happiness vibes, at least for me.
Feeling better about our daily routine, just hoping it continues.
Stress is no fun, and one of my goals for 2021, is to be more FUN!
All in a Day
