I am typing this post… Guess where? On the treadmill!! In our basement. I am walking, and using this sort of a “standing desk” for the treadmill that T created. My speed is at 2.4, and it’s a bit wobbly but I already feel warm: my blood is flowing. Also, the laptop is blocking my view of time and steps and that is good. I will stop when I feel I have done enough.
Last week was LONG with a few late nights. L and R had their parent-teacher conferences at their respective schools. We then went to a tree lighting event in our town. Then on Saturday it was L’s birthday party!
Parent-teacher feedback was good. But if I were to read between the lines… L works hard, no behavior issues but can speak out of line. Nah, really???? LOL R loves people, participates, speaks in full sentences, gets along with other people. Not a surprise: he can be lazy and can zone out (he does it at home, too). I think we need to implement a little more structure with R. Spend some more time having him hold the pencil, write his name, and trace.
Tree lighting in our town was on Thursday night. I was gonna pull a Daria and cancel but then I got into the car, and we went. It was lovely! Although when Santa pulled up in a fire truck, L broke down in tears since, I guess, the siren was too much?…
L’s party was so fun! We had seven kids and… 10 adults? We got KFC and put the chicken into heating pans in the dining room. Per L’s request, got an ice cream cake with Frozen image from the Diary Queen. Placed chairs around the house, set up the drinks for kids and adults in the butler’s pantry (a little room off the dining room). The kids were wild, they played upstairs since that is where all the toys are. We didn’t set up a crafting station or an activity. They figured it out and everyone had a nice time. T really took care of everything: setting up, ordering food, getting drinks, plates, balloons, etc. Honey, if you are reading this, THANK you.
I am feeling better. After a very sickly November, I am looking forward to December, with its holiday energy and, hopefully, better health for all of us.
Some intentions:
- Exercise! No matter how little it is.
- Don’t forget about Daria this holiday season!
- Continue to stay organized and keep planning each week out
- Be like a river 🙂
How was your week and weekend?
