Basic Weekly Plans

[Twins' Mom]

bw2, I've realized that we're all so much busier than we were 6 months ago. We're getting out for things that didn't do last winter, so don't be too hard on yourself about not keeping up with routines. The new puppy also has changed your routines. Gentle adjustments to get us back in balance, and keep some flexibility.

And you're coming off of your broken ankle (foot?) and are building back up to speed also.

thank you d twins!!!

Gentle adjustments to get us back in balance, and keep some flexibility. I am going to put this on my fridge.
I come from amazing hard working mom who could do everything - and everything was spotless. I have to remember to not compare with others.

You have been very busy! I am so happy you took beach time for you and your dh! I

Saturday - a man is coming to help me in garden as the weeds took over
8:00 am he wanted 7 am and I couldn't do it.

I have been gently training the pup along and keeping both dogs exercised - which means getting behind on other things.
okey dokey I have to get started.

not a weekly plan but go with the day/week plan as my health has been bad since I broke my ankle and surgery. having lots of intestinal and stomach issues, nerve ending extreme pain on upper body and muscle pain through out body.

I have learned something from this time:

don't wait on doing what you love.
don't wait to fix things and make it the way you want.
and don't wait to declutter your home. thank you God for letting me get rid of a lot before this new health adventure.

trying to pretend like I am training for a marathon.

today: send out brothers birthday card
card for cousin
thank you Karen
if I can: dead head flowers in front as dd older is home again after her trip and she can help me in my wheelchair before it gets too hot

this week:

bw2, your body has been through so much trauma with two broken ankles. I'm glad you're getting a bone density test. Keep the work up to keep your health up so you can do the things you love!

[blessedw2]

My health has been an issue since October 2020
I am trying to stay positive and give myself grace without letting frustration settle in.

dh has said he can help me roll out to the flower bed to pull the front weeds and dead head some plants

I get super frustrated that I can not keep up with the dogs mess and our mess as well as the garden etc.

already s2s
ate breakfast
drove with dh to get dd's dog crate but she forgot to tell us to Bring money - it was good to get out of the house and dh and I are THRILLED not to have the crate here.
today my plan is to make the lasagna for the freezer and our neighbor the Italian sausage was freezer burnt - cooking the beef today for tomorrow - I made sloppy joes today with cucumber salad
make a spinach dip for veggies
make a cucumber salad for tonight.
I still have to make the chicken soup but I don't want to be cooking all day as It gets me no where.

I was able to dead head the front little area of flowers - I can't get to the middle and I have to be okay with it.

what needs doing - dh and I pick tomatoes for the food pantry
get my placard for handicapped parking
clean the dog crates the best I can

I am so frustrated by my inabilities to keep things clean with the dogs bc of the wheel chair and the inability to move around

I rested for over an hour - I still need to train dogs - I still need to exercise me
sweep up floor the best that I can
