Self Care Monday 10/24

[cam]

What did you do this past week? Did you get at least 5 minutes per day for you?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Be proactive about or get a head start on something.

I got some good walks in. A couple with DH and a few solo. The park is gorgeous this time of year and the weather is really conducive to longer, more comfortable walks- not too hot anymore and not too cold yet.

I lost another pound which is great.

Not feeling the head start; I'm still plugging away on all the shit that hasn't gotten done in the last 3 months.

I have not posted lately, but I have not forgotten myself. Last week was extremely busy for us.

Last week: DH, DS and I went out of town on Monday and Tuesday to visit my parents as well as an appointment DH had. On Monday, we were so exhausted from DH's grave yard weekend shifts and my driving most of the way for almost 3 hours, we just relaxed at the hotel on Monday. On Tuesday, we visited with my parents.

We had a pumpkin patch event on Saturday at 7:30 am. with the ASD support group that we actually RSVP'ed for, but DH could not get out on time because the coworker that was suppose to cover DH came in like 20 minutes late. She is always late every weekend. I told myself forget it, we will go to IHOP as DH suggested for breakfast and have a good time. I am not going to let DH's coworker ruin my time with my family.

I have been working on DS's costume for weeks now with all the painting, glossing and cutting card boards. DH helped me put the costume together by gluing and taping it all together.

No exercise was done for awhile. DH hurt the back of his knee. I have had some awful stomach bug or the new medication has caused this. Maybe it is crap food.

This week: I am recuperating from whatever it is I had last week.

I did schedule an appointment with the doctor. She wants to follow up on the new medications and I can't remember what else. I don't want to go.

DH and I will be finishing up DS's Halloween costume this week. We have the ASD trunk or treat this Saturday and on Halloween is yet another trunk or treat.

I have plans to make mummy dogs and caterpillars for dinner on Halloween. I was talking to DH about what I needed for Halloween for dinner and how I needed crescent rolls in a can for mummy dogs. DS got upset and said "no mummy dogs, mummy cats." Good grief! I am going to add breaded ears to the mummy dogs to look like mummy cats.

Challenge: I don't know what I will get a head start on. We will be going out of town for DS's evaluation and we want to do one fun thing before the eval.

mamaturtle, I laughed so hard at mummy cats.

Past Week: I was out of town by myself last week so I kind of got time to myself. I didn't make it to the gym, but I did eat healthy the whole time.

This Week: So much to do this week. I'm in survival mode so probably won't get much self-care done. I did download a book that I've been wanting to start reading.
