Self Care 5/21

How are things going?

Challenge: Try something new, or at least push yourself further on something you already do.

I got together with some friends this past week. I planted a few things in my garden. I was hoping to get some more planted today, but mother nature is not on board with that idea.

We went to a concert/ date night Friday night. I guess it was self care, but I was so tired because I had volunteered at 2 school events and worked the whole day before the evening concert.

Saturday I watched the royal wedding while DH tinkered around and the kids played. Not much else going on here.

We had an awesome girl scout event with DD1's troop on Thursday that the girls loved, and then we did an outdoor event with DD2's troop on Sunday. I had DD1 and another 4th grader from my troop helping. They loved feeling like they were leading the younger girls. DD1's IEP went into effect last week, and so far she seems to feel comfortable with the support. Her case manager is in the classroom with her for an hour during math, and then she has a 20 minute pullout each day with her.

My sister is coming to visit this weekend, so I'm hoping she and I will get to go out for a drink or something and leave the kids with DH.

As for trying something new...hmmm, I'll have to think about that one

I said I was going to step WAY back from my job, but failed miserably this week. I volunteered for a summer evaluation/IEP meeting for a current student because I am the only teacher that has managed to get him to talk all year, so I feel what I know is important. I have all.the.feels about this kid b/c I could see DD ending up this way at 13 if we don't get her anxiety under control. So, my own worry spiral for this kid and my own kid.

I speed walked a half marathon over the weekend though. That was 3 hours of needed active mediatation.

I was off work yesterday so I did an entire day of self care. Unfortunately I am sick though so still not feeling that great despite all the self care. Currently fighting off am infection and a cold virus. I go back to the doctor Friday and called him twice this week. I am off today too but haven’t figured out what I need to do yet for self care...Maybe some Tylenol.
