Week

⭐️ annual review at work/summative is done; received very complementary feedback. They love me at GL and I love them. Looking forward to yet another year of teaching, learning, collaborating and growing in my practice. Education is life.
⭐️ I am into a show! 1899 is a multilingual show on Netflix
⭐️ spring weather 💐
⭐️ the kids picked daffodils in our back yard and “gifted” then to me. It was so cute.
⭐️ consistent with my morning routine
⭐️ feeling better mood-wise. More positive!

❌ what is “exercise”?
❌ haven’t read as much- feeling anxious when reading. Need a different book perhaps?
❌ time outside – nope
❌ house 🫤 + laundry +all that jazz

Tony was away overnight so just me and the kids on Monday/Tuesday. I thought we did well. We have our evening routine, and I’ve done this many times before.

Discovered, listened to, watched…

Podcasts Edit Your Life , Better Laid Plans and the Productive Woman

Reading: Coffee and Crumbs on Substack and bloggers on Feedly (SHU, Lisa’s Yarns, etc)

Focus music for writing on Spotify

Weekend

Date night scheduled but canceled [sitter got sick]. Gave Westfield players theater tickets away, ordered sushi, watched a movie. Turned out to be nice.

Time for myself. Saturday- went to Panera for about 3 hours to write, plan, and read. Sunday: closed the bedroom door and worked on calendar, blog, journalling.

House: cleaned as a family in the basement. Laundry: always a work in progress. Floors: could be cleaner. But then again: could be dirtier.

Thoughts: want to rake the outside, prune roses. Sweep the side porch. Create a list of things to do in Denmark (trip coming up next Saturday). Get myself into a low expectations mindset for travel with L and R next week. Later on today – a ballet in Morristown! Tony is travelling next week so make a meal plan.

A few random pictures from my camera roll from this weekend:

Next week

Teaching Monday through Thursday. Have a personal day on Friday. Use it to prepare for our trip to CPH: clean the house, take time for myself, and, of course, pack: carry-ons only. Outline possible activities to do there and create a blog post about preparing for 8 days in Copenhagen with two small kids.
