Weekly Reflection 2017 – 20

How I shone this week: This week Jake was out of the country so I was alone with the kids. Most of the week, this ended up meaning that I worked in the evenings and tried to get ahead of my plans a bit. I got some work done but of course not as much as I’d hoped. I went to work a bunch, I went to Nathaniel’s school, I had coaching clients, I went to a party for Nathaniel and his classmates and then had a 1-1 with a friend and then went to a social event with parents from David’s school. I did math with both of the kids. I showed up. I tried. I also yelled and wanted to give up and felt hopeless at different times this week. But I got up and kept going and sometimes that’s the best shining I can do. 

Things I wanted to get Done:  I did a pretty good job on my todo list this week!

  • Work: I more documentation but I still have a bunch more, of course. I did some meetings and scheduled some more. I feel good about progress here.
  • Vacation: I made no new plans for memorial day. 
  • Summer: I did it! booked both camps for both kids! woohoo!
  • Personal: I did exercise, albeit for a short period. I did a ton of art, I finished OLW and ate some veggies though not as much as I would have liked.
  • Family: Made the eye doctor appointments (amongst many other appointments.) Didn’t go hiking just in case I would be unreachable. And we took family photos!

I celebrate: a long but productive week this week.

I am grateful for: my son’s teachers. his school. for all the experiences he gets to have.

I nourished myself by: some lovely alone time this weekend.

Reflecting on my worries: david, jake and nathaniel are all doing fine so far. knock on wood. they’ve all been having fun! I’ve eaten so-so and only exercised ones. I did journal a teeny tiny bit. Did A LOT of art. I am grateful.

I let go of: being able to get it all done.

Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):

  • bold: i booked a trip to Seattle, I signed up for a class at work.
  • mindful: mindful of the precious time left with my kids this week as they grow up so fast.
  • nourish: so so this week. 
  • love: i love so much and i think i did okay job showing that this week 🙂

What made me laugh this week: my family. they are my light.

What I tolerated this week: a lot of work this week. two summit days. just long long long.

My mood this week was: tired.
I forgive myself for: not going camping.
What I love right now: warm summer nights.

Here’s to a wonderful week twenty-one!
