Sleep training

 One of my resolutions (that I really started working on in February) was to have a better relationship with sleep. I’m being mindful of my water intake before bed, stretching (legs up the wall is supposed to be a good one), and not checking the time if I wake up in the middle of the night. And if I can’t get back to sleep after about an hour, though it’s hard to tell when you don’t look at the time, I get up. Which is what happened today and why I started my day at 5:30 and had a headache all day. Because remember my Lent goal is also no naps, which I am acing but is sah hard without a good nights sleep.

I trip planned a lot of the day. I made a couple healthy new recipes and exercised and PTA’d. Adi talked me into letting her stay home to study for several tests tomorrow. She still went to seminary, so did she really win? 🤷‍♀️

In my trip planning excitement I realized I want to be caught up on my blog so I’m going hardcore. Also because I have the time, I’ve just been pacing myself. We leave 3 weeks from yesterday and since I’m on week one of my 4 week cleaning schedule, that means I’ll deep clean the house before we go too. Although I have made an intentional decision as an adult to never be precious about having to have a clean house before a trip. Of course I would always like one, but I don’t get twirled up about it. I know too many people that go a little cray cray and get a little mean and that’s one promise to myself that I’ve always kept that I won’t be that way. 

Adi made 2 top notch pizzas for dinner. She put a little curry powder on the one I tried and it was actually really good. She’s quite the cook, I’m always impressed by her. 

Frankie stayed after school for conditioning, and then asked if we could take a friend home to wildwood, so I picked them up, dropped d at dance, dropped her friend at home, and then annoyed Frankie because I wouldn’t drop her at home too. Our car pool buddy is out of town and I wasn’t about to drive back and forth for an hour and a half class. 

When Frankie was in kindergarten she learned a cute alphabet song where she sang the letter and then some letters had cute phrases, like “AB - C you later! DEF - G, I’m gonna miss ya!…” and at the end it went “Z - Zats all!” And Alexis and Christian loved it and still say it all the time. So anyway, zats all.
