What a Disaster!

2/90

       Wow! Yesterday was bad! I dealt with a fun round of mastitis this last weekend, so my life is getting back to normal. I feel like it takes a matter of hours for things to get out of hand like dishes, cooking, baby mess, and such. However it takes a matter of days to catch up with it all. Yesterday went almost as bad as it could have gone as far as not reaching goals. We did get outside as a family and I stayed away from processed sugar, but I didn't manage to really do anything else completely.
       I think part of it was that Zach was home for the day, which means I get to sleep in usually and that we spend lots of time together as a family. Another thing that really did not help at all is the amount of time I spend on my phone. I want to add a phone usage goal to my list, but I haven't figured out what that will be exactly. I use it for everything and more. I am going to see what things I can do with paper and the computer, that way I can know what a reasonable amount of time would be.
       On a better note...I feel like I am doing awesome with the no sugar thing. I am so addicted to sweet things and it makes me feel sick all the time. I have tried to set myself up well by making and buying things that are healthy to snack on. I have corn chips, pretzels, lots of fruits, cheese sticks, homemade yogurt, and homemade apple sauce. I do cheat a little I guess. I have made fruit jamish to go with the yogurt. Normally you would put the same amount of sugar(or more) as fruit to make jam, but I did half the sugar to cut it down. The cool thing is that I have done a week of no sugar and I have already lost 2lbs. I am not avoiding food if I feel hungry, I am just not eating candy and sugary things.



P.S. This morning I took these pictures just seconds apart. I had scared him with some noise I made and it took him a while to get over it. He never forgets that he was hurt somehow, even when he is laughing. lol

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
