I'm a bit late reporting Day 5. I definitely felt rushed. I was late to our Mocha Moms support meeting. We had a mini-preschool fair. I didn't want to miss it. Thankfully it started late. I realized that we're too rich for HeadStart. Ha! That gave me a chuckle. And it also made me wonder how a family of four can survive on $21K a year in our neck of the woods. I am thankful that doing Passion Parties allows me to stay at home with Sophia.I was invited to speak to some students at George Mason University Wednesday. The event was Sex in the Lounge and I presented a mini-Passion Party after the sex educator. I got to see her in action. She did a great job talking about sexually transmitted diseases in a way that the students could relate too. Of course since it was a coed audience, there was a lot of nervous giggling too. I had fun talking to the students--hopefully I gave them some good tips to make sure that both parties are satisfied in the bedroom!
I felt rushed all day and didn't take time to breathe like I should have. I had a conference call, then had to jump into the car right after into horrible traffic. A 45 minute drive took 1 1/2 hours. I was thankful for that traffic. It made me slow down--not just literally but mentally too.
I took a mental walk around my apartment. Denise Linn spoke of how clutter can bring your energy up or down. I guess my kitchen doesn't count as clutter, but whenever I think I about tackling that pile of dishes, I feel down. LOL. I love to cook but I don't really enjoy the clean up. My piles of books sometimes bring me down too. I feel guilty for having them all. Even though I was able to purge the other night, I probably still have too many books. Baby steps, right?
One area that does make me feel good is my sewing area. We acquired a new to us table a month ago. DH fixed it up for me. I bought a few containers to help organize. It needs a bit more organization, but looking at it makes me happy. I can see all the possibilities. I can see myself in that chair sewing up the funny little projects that pop up in my head.
Now to make the time to actually make them!
