Self Care Check In

JoJoGee

Caring for a child can be difficult.  Caring for a child with special needs, even more so.  Therefore, it is important that you take care of yourself.  Tell us...

Last week's self care challenge was to step outside your comfort zone.  What did you do?  Will you do it again?  Plan on trying anything else?

This week's challenge:  Take a nap.  Arrange childcare if you have to, but see if you can catch some extra Zzzzzzz's this week.

DH cooked Thai food mix and it was okay. The Korean food was better.

I did take a nap on Sunday. I stayed up to late on Saturday because DH scared me with a ghost video.

The nap was great considering the time change. I felt good afterwards. I can't remember the last time I took a nap.

Still struggling with LO's GI issues and didn't get positive news from the GI doc today.  On top of that, the laundry has taken over the house.  So, I took a mental health day from work and did laundry.  I organized the piles, and even got to cook dinner without rushing to feed 2 starving adults, pump and feed a hungry LO before 9 at night.  Ahhhhh!  Well the laundry isn't quite done, but at least company has a place to sit.

First time checking in. I need to take some time for myself.  I have been stepping out of my comfort zone and allowing more people into our circle for social opportunities. I plan on getting in a nap this week.

We went to a wedding this weekend, I'm not a social person so it was out of my comfort zone.

I'm doing well otherwise, gearing up to get the transfer from EI to the school district started, I'm nervous but ready.

A nap sounds heavenly, I'm putting one in my calendar to make sure I do it.

I applied for a new position within my company.  I've pretty much been doing the same thing for 13 years and this would be something totally new so I'm taking a chance.  *crosses fingers*
