How appropriate was today's topic? I've been exhausted lately. It's all my fault. I haven't been getting enough sleep or taking my 15 minutes to slow down and read my book. The lack of sleep is catching up with me. I had less patience for today's tug-of-war with Sophia. Anyone have suggestions on discipline and raising a 3 year old? My parents were mainly the yell at you and give the evil look type. I think I need better methods.
Have a messy/dirty home is my main energy zapper. When the the kitchen sink is full of dishes or I'm running of clean chopsticks. The clutter drives me crazy. Internet surfing is another one. It's also a time zapper for me too. I love finding all the new things from my internet surfing, especially all the crafty inspiration.
What about energy juicers? A nice, relaxing hot bath makes me feel so good. When I don't have time for that, a cup of hot tea with a book or magazine makes do too. When I'm out doing my parties, I feel revitalized. Sewing and crafting are the best energy juicers for me. Why don't I make time to do more of them? I don't know. I guess I don't make them a priority, except for my parties. Or maybe I feel guilty if I do too many of these items? I guess just listing and thinking about them is a start.
That's my sushi messenger bag I made a few years back. I loved making it and love wearing it.

How to talk so kids will listen is my favorite parenting book so far. In fact, I should probably re-read it!
I ran a home daycare for 7 years and think of myself as an expert for children 0-3 (of course, my girls are 6 & 8 now, and I feel lost a lot of the time...) I think clear and consistent boundaries along with giving choices whenever possible are the best tools for 3 year olds.
I love the sushi bag!
(My 'word verification' word is magicsit! I hope I can magicsit AND get a lot done today!
I think you're so right that listing and thinking about them is a start. I hope you feel rejuvenated soon :)
Definitely an extrovert, you gain energy from being with others! I wish I could feel that way sometimes.
I'm with you on having a clean home, so important to me and so challenging to accomplish!
I hope you get to have a hot bath and relax with a cup of tea soon.
