    BE Conscious of my goals - DO NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF!

    I am feeling more relaxed today. I had a couple of interviews scheduled to hire more staff so didn't bring any craft work with me to the office. I have to leave early to drive to Red Deer anyway so may leave earlier and go home to do some work.

    Tomorrow I have to have my car into the shop for some recall work, so will be working from home tomorrow as well.

    Big shows this week so I need to get some stuff done!

    So, we're out of town for the week. First half is up in DC; next half is over in TN.

    JFT:
    1. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Drink more water.
    2. Grade, grade, grade, grade. Pay attention to patterns of error and make plans for review and further practice.
    3. Maybe pick up some things at Aldi for the trip to TN on Thursday? Diet drinks. Maybe something crunchy? More celery? What about lunch for D?
    4. Quiz! Write a post. (Maybe?)

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    3. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
    4. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun?
    5. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    6. Gifts for dad and DH - look for licorice puffs (Dollar Tree), cookbook.
    7. Check on conference; follow up on seminar proposal. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
    8. Go to used bookstore and look for Beauty (McKinley), Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman) and The Prince (tr. Tim Parks).
    9. Create poetry project using Those Winter Sundays, Sonnet 18, and Sonnet 30.
    10. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Jewelry - check what the wire thingies are called and look for Youtube videos about how to work with them.
    11. Make plan for classroom observations; ask other teachers about projects or lessons they feel confident about.
    12. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion.
    13. Design minibuttons with school logo, mascot, crest. Minibuttons that say THIS IS WHAT ANTIFASCISM LOOKS LIKE. White text on black bars on red background.

    Jft Tuesday
    - 8 glasses of water ❎
    - Be in the green✔️
    - Exercise✔️
    - Tidy the house❎
    - Crochet❓
    - November Challenge☑️

    Not having the best of days today, Im feeling pretty grumpy.
    Couldn't get all my water in, probably had about 6 so need to improve on this tomorrow because it has been slipping.

    Ive had the most horrendous bedtime yet. I put Saskia and Marley to bed (marley is in her "big bed" now so she can get out whenever she wants) so they both got up playing whilst I was giving Casey her last bottle. Eventually it turned to chaos,saskia was shouting for a plaster, Marley was just making lots of noise and so their dad sent Saskia downstairs and Marley to bed. Instead she stood at the gate crying.
    So I nappy changed Casey took her up to bed. She started crying as soon as I put her in the bed.
    Marley shows me her hand and there was dirt on it, at first I thought she had trapped her finger and that it was dried blood, then I thought it was chocolate.. (do you see where I'm going with this?) well it turns out she had a poo and put her hand in her nappy.
    It then took me another 45 minutes to settle them both. And they are FINALLY asleep. I come downstairs to get Saskia to come to bed, she's asleep on the sofa, dead to the world. Someone could fire a cannon in here and I don't think she'd wake up!
    So I go get my partner to ask him to pick he rup because she's too heavy for me. And HES asleep!!!
    Honestly, this house.
    I'm all parented out!


    Ive not actually exercised yet. But I 100% am going to. I may or may not crochet and the November Challenge will be involved in the workout which is why it's a red tick because its not something I've done separately

    Okay so quick update before bed!

    Done my workout again! With the squats for Nov Challenge.
    I'm curious, has anyone else tried it yet?
    Just cooling down before I go for a shower.
    I might have to leave the exercise tomorrow or atleast do it earlier. Think my partner is feeling neglected!

    Gonna get some more water and do. Some More stretches then that's me done again!

    Another day successfully beaten!

    I have done the squats probably 10 separate times. I’m really struggling to remember.

    You are kicking butt and taking names!!!!

    I hated bedtime when my girls were little. Hubby drove truck so I was alone for most of it. Until I started working evenings and sitters had bedtime, I got them all sweet and cuddly in the morning! Anyhow, I remember one night my eldest was not going to bed, refused to stay in her room. I was sitting on the floor outside her room holding the knob so she couldn’t turn it crying so hard. I didn’t know what to do, I had tried soothing, cuddling, threatening, nothing was working. We lived in an apartment directly below the landlady. The landlady after listening to Lauryn scream for close to two hours came knocking on my door. I with tears running down my face said, “I’m so sorry”, she smiled patted me on the arm and said watch this. She went down to the bedroom opened the door said to Lauryn, “do you want a popsicle from Jack (her OH) tomorrow”? Lauryn of course said yes. She said you get in that bed and go to sleep, not another peep”. Lauryn went to bed immediately! I used the threat of the landlady for weeks afterward!

    Oh I love it when people do that!
    When Saskia was a baby she was really unsettled alot of the time. Ash's Nan had come to visit and she said pass me a blanket and watch this.. She swaddled her really snuggly, arms in an all and she went right off to sleep!

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smile:
    - Stick to food plan :smile:
    - Sensible choice for dinner - lightest option possible :smile: It wasn't the lightest possible but it was pretty light and (I'm proud of this one) when we discussed having dessert (because the main was so small!) I ended up not having any but having a couple of small liqueur instead (which contained way fewer calories). Overall a success!
    - Be in the green :/ Despite this a couple of hundred over. Will have to make that back later this week
    - 4 bottles water :smile:
    - G&T only at dinner - no wine!!! :/ I swapped a couple of G&T for wine, thought would go better with Italian food. I was right and it was delicious
