cleaning could be enough but it's not...

I cleaned all day! It amazes me how much I get done when my children are not home. I am not saying now that I sit with them and read all day, or do puzzles or make sure they are writing, making cakes with them or lifting them up spiritually when I am home but it's the " Ma! Can you get me?", " Ma! she just pinched me!","Ma! we are boredddd!" and the likes where I have to stop whatever it is I am doing. When no one is here I can do and accomplish whatever I want AND at my own pace. This to me is heaven and I need to focus HARD on this feeling. On any feeling that makes me happy because this is what my journey is all about...learning, appreciating and creating a happier, more beautiful and balanced life. The thing is to find feel this when everyone is home!! I think I like being alone a little too much ;)

I have been drinking water today like a mad woman! I feel proud of myself for this. I am not to keen on drinking water. I am reading The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey and loving it. One thing he says is if you want to be thin, study thin people. If you want to be rich, study reach people and well, you get the drift! I think thin people are always drinking water. Is it true? Anyway, I like his theory and I believe it's TRUE! Isn't that all that matters?

My eating today was okay. I think one thing I did not so great was eating the entire baguette at lunch time. It was this heavenly baguette made with cranberries and walnuts from my husbands' friends bakery. Believe it or not I hade tuna on it ( the sweet and salty was actually really good!)! It was heavenly. Soooo much bread though. I cleaned for a few hours, up and down, and did not snack so I guess it's not that awful but I know it could have been smaller.

Now please don't laugh but I SWEAR I was ready to slowly slink out this front door and head onto Baskin Robbins to have a sundae for dinner!! I mean no one is home! No one can bother me, no one can ask for one too and well! Just because I could I was going too. I began reading some weight loss blogs and I decided against it. If nothing else this blog is helpful in that way! LOL

So off I go to try and figure something decent to eat for dinner. Our cupboards are bare!! Momma' needs to food shop and she keeps putting it off and off and off! It's one of my least favorite things to do!! Wish me luck...

Think ABUNDANCE!
