I spend most of my time with kids (my own and my tutoring students) and cats. I try to read and knit or stitch - at least a little - every day.
@Jules This is a great idea!
life hack: buy a bag of Starburst jellybeans. hide it from everyone; eat it all yourself.

These boys are just so very loud.
And then I drank too much vodka and had what I’m certain was a very smart and insightful conversation about Star Wars and mythology and film and lore and also about space lesbians and jedi musicians but we had fun dammit.
@maloki I literally keep a pair on my bed stand, next to my books, for this purpose.
Today in Toddler Games:
Front rolls off of the bottom step into my lap HOWDIDTHISHAPPEN??
@lemurchild I have been there and it SUCKS. I'm sorry. The disappointment is real and you are not wrong to feel it.
I know you'll do your best.
Then, find a way to plan for a day off with no child responsibilities. Even if it has to be farther into the future than you'd like, having it on the books really helps, in my experience.
Good luck to you!

Then I do daily journaling and note taking on the following two pages.
I make a large monthly calendar each month, too, and refer to it each week.
CHICAGO/ILLINOIS FRIENDS: There's voting today! GO DO THAT! (Please boost.)
@Heliodora
I've been using this arrangement for my weeks the last month or so. Big Idea goals/steps and a spot for notes at the top (kitty stickers for privacy), with a mini calendar and also trackers for my books and meditation.
Below that, first, where I need to go for each day (kid activities, meetings, etc - I'm a SAHM), then tasks/housework for each day. I haven't actually filled those out yet this week though. 😅

@sigridellis You cannot go wrong with a Hunter Hammersen pattern. 😍
@cutewitchirl That has never worked before. Next time we say "not now," he still will hear "never."
Until, I suppose, he eventually grows out of it.
@sonicbooming We love the library - and had just come from there. This book is brand new and they don't have it yet. Plus he owns the first book - this is a sequel he's been looking forward to. But his teacher is going to read it aloud to the class as soon as they finish they're current book, and it would have more than doubled the cost of this trip today.
I know it was the decision we had to make, but I still feel bad about it.
