Like anyone else I too have the potential…

Like anyone else, I too have the potential for violence; I too have anger in me. However, I try to recall that anger is a destructive emotion. I remind myself that scientists now say that anger is bad for our health; it eats into our immune system. So, anger destroys our peace of mind and our physical health. We shouldn’t welcome it or think of it as natural or as a friend. ~Dalai Lama

I’m going to be up all night because…

I’m going to be up all night, because either 1) Keira is going to be up all night since she has taken 2 naps and is sleeping now.
Or 2) Because she’ll sleep all night and I’ll be up checking on her every 15 minutes scared to death that she ingest some deadly toxic poison.

  • We have to get this mouthing thing under control or before Mommy goes on medication.

*Chores accomplished in the 11 days of Keira’s…

*Chores accomplished in the 11 days of Keira’s Summer Break:
1 Floor washed.
Several loads of laundry that took 3 to 4 days to complete.
I may have done the dishes.
*Chores accomplished in the 5 hours Keira was in Preschool today:
Post office
Walmart
Steam cleaned kitchen floor, dinning room floor, living room floor, hallway floor.
2 loads of wash folded and put away.
Dishwasher emptied.
Keira’s bedroom cleaned, toys sorted and packed for donations.
House straightened.
*15 minutes after Keira arrives home from Preschool – there is no evidence of what I’ve accomplished today.

“Feelings like disappointment embarrassment irritation resentment anger jealousy…

“Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.” ~Pema Chodron

Keira is exhausting Not because she misbehaves but…

Keira is exhausting. Not because she misbehaves, but because she Constantly wants to be given a task, complete that task and get praise. One would think that would be great “Go clean your room” Right?
No such luck. Cleaning her room goes like this “Keira, pick up that yellow lego block“ pause “put the yellow lego block in this bin” pause “Good Girl Keira! Very Good Job!” “Keira, pick up that red lego block“ pause “put the red lego block in this bin” pause “Good Girl Keira! Very Good Job!” “Keira, pick up that blue lego block“ pause “put the blue lego block in this bin” pause “Good Girl Keira! Very Good Job!”
And that continues for EVERY SINGLE item that must be put away.
Do you know how many lego blocks this child has?!?!?!
Trying to constantly find tasks for her that keep her occupied at the same time is the challenge. She’s only going to pick up so many lego blocks before she’s ready to move onto something else! lol
