Sarah and the Beasts VS. Commercialism and Conformity

Well It was a little over a week ago I was Crying in my Cheerios over wanting change in my family, and the made the decision to CHANGE it up, and I have ,and its working, and I didnt go all Psycho on them, I didnt remove all technology, I started with me!! I invested my time into them in the evening and gave "Social Sarah" a break, So as much as the tiny beasts ask to have my friends around all the time,what my dumb ass didnt get, was that when people come over, my focus shifts, I cook more, I drink some wine, I dont push bedtime, and they basically do whatever they want....Go figure!!! So This week No more, or at least EVERY NIGHT!!!

Second thing...No Video Games during the week, Duh??? Engaged them in "DOING" things instead, Eli rode his bike while I did 5 miles every day we were home, we made detective scenarios out of our adventure. We did things that I always did as a married mom, but allowed my  Crap to get in the way as Single mom, So I am Actively working on my "plank" and I am feeling so much lighter, and less stressed!!


So its Sunday Morning, we have  a Jam Packed day ahead of us, and I am sitting on the couch sipping coffee, color on my hair laundry going, watching Myth Busters with Max and Eli while they build and rebuild Marshmallow PVC shooters, and I am reminded, that its the little things, that are actually the big things, that I am Blessed beyond belief, and all in all,  One amazingly Happy, and Satisfied Chickie!!!

So Happy Earth Day People, and today, Praise God, Love your Family, and Protect our Earth!!


***** Side note, 2.3 more pounds!!! YAY ME!!!
