The kids went back to school today after a week off for Spring Break. I was feeling kind of bad that we didn't really do much but then I looked back over my journal and realized that we did a lot. We may not have had any big trips but we had fun. When I picked them up from the bus, they were in great moods so it made me feel better. They love their school and their friends and that is a good thing.
I was in such a good and motivated mood today and excited to get lots done for my day job, our business, this website, the kids and their new YouTube channel adventure, and to really get healthy. I get like this every once in awhile and then I pile all kinds of things on myself and then get quickly overwhelmed. I am making lists in my Passion Planner but not assigning any real timing to it. I can't allow myself to get to that place of extreme overwhelm. It makes everything worse because I just give up on everything for a week or so. Not a good way to run businesses or families. I'm glad that I am at the point that I can recognize this happening, I just need to work on the tools to getting to the point of no return.
I picked the kids up from the bus today and we hurried to Nova's practice. Sawyer and I went to CrossFit and did a great workout with lots of pull-ups. We had to run a bit and the weather was just so perfect for it. I will be sore tomorrow, no doubt.
For dinner, I made a nice spinach and strawberry salad tonight to accompany the ham and cheese and Chic Patty sliders. I felt that some greens were pretty essential to balance out the butter and cheese of the sliders. Everyone loved them and I will have to make them again. It was also the only thing I photographed today. I kept meaning to go outside and photograph some flowers to celebrate the first day of spring but I never got around to it. My new phone has some great camera features that I am really having fun with.
I worked a little bit on the blog tonight and am planning to get at least one new recipe post out this week. I know that consistency is key but consistency is hard when I am trying to juggle so many things.
