Housework

So I have had a productive day. Housework and I mean alot of housework was done today. Alas more is still needed to be done and I hope I have the energy to continue doing it tomorrow. It will all depend if I have insomnia again and stay up til 5 o'clock in the morning. Just like last night. Sigh. I seem to have inadvertently switched my sleep schedule from night time to morning. I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour and usually end up not sleeping. So if my mind refuses to switch off I need to get up and do something that will distract or tire it out. Last night I started a book and read because I did not want the nightmares my mind was leading me too. Then in the morning after getting up and getting the Bear to school I came home and crashed. Meaning I napped and it was a long and deep nap too. This is what seems to happen most days.

I am not sure why this is happening but I suspect it is because I am stressed over something. Unfortunately I do not know precisely what is stressing me. If I knew I could take steps to destress myself and maybe make me a sane and reasonable woman. Two things I think it might be related to are money and my fat. I feel pinched in purchasing decisions and try to rein in my spending habits only to be undercut by husband's spending. Then we argue over money and I am angry with him. Second item is I do not feel I am getting enough exercise and feel fat and bloated. I am trying to eat right and healthy because I know of the benefits that the baby receives in the womb from proper nutrition. Still for all that I have been craving way too many fat things like fried perogies and sour cream or just mayonnaise sandwiches. I do not always give in to the temptation and the cravings just don't go away. It is like my body wants to double my fat reserves when I trying to tell it to just use the ones I already have. Sheesh! I really wish something around here would listen to me most days. Normally you would think your body would be one of those!

Anyways thats enough complaining and moaning about something I really do have the power to change but apparently not the willpower to actually change. Okay Okay I said enough complaining already! Man some days you would think I was depressed or something. Anyways here's my positive reinforcements for the day.

1. I cleaned the bathroom!!!!
2. I did other housework like sweeping floors, getting the jello stain off of the chair and washing the walls and cabinets.
3. I encouraged Smiles to help me while I was cleaning and apparently she loves washing walls. Teehee.
4. I put the kids to bed after giving Smiles a bath because she got herself filthy at the neighbours house.
5. I got Smiles registered for Kindergarten next year and Bear re-registered for his school.

So yeah I guess I would have to say all in all it was a very good day. Now I get to play Civ all night if I wish. Though I believe I will probably end up reading another book. I am really not interested in the computer tonight. Maybe I should finish sewing that child's cloak that has been sitting near machine for the last week. Hmmm, I might just have to do that! After all I can't have Raven get too many cloaks ahead of me!
