Whew!!
I have been neglecting my journaling a bit again. I promised myself to at least take the time to spend a minute each day to think, vent, share joy etc. I'm getting ready to go to bed and I have never been so glad to be over hump day!!
After skipping school and getting in trouble, my son has been grounded from everything and amazingly has found the time to be the most helpful, sweet, wonderful boy I've ever known! My daughter finally got past the huge biology, animal science, history and english projects that were all due the same week. I'm not ahead, but not behind with my school work and so far all 100% grades. The puppies are settling a little bit on day 5. I have plans for us all to chip in to do some massive house cleaning this weekend and if everything goes well maybe try to fit in the puppies' first bath!!
I'm tired and have promised myself to get out this weekend, on my own, without kids. Even if it's just an hour - I'm overwhelmed and the first half of the week was rough. I owe it to myself and have this bad habit of putting me last. This needs to change. I need my time. I need adult conversation. I need to reestablish some connections for myself.

It\'s great that you are remembering YOU in all this. Family and school and home are all important but if you don\'t take care of yourself then what\'s the point? Remember you are strong, beautiful, resilient, smart and amazing - take the time when you can to see that in yourself. Hugs! xxx
Amen to you time, I hope you stick to your promise and come back a refreshed Rani, ready to take on the world and share all her wisdom on here. xx
