I havent been here in ages it seems. My sister is now nearly 7 months pregnant. I am still NOT trying to get pregnant. So much has been going on. I just can't even tell you all of it.
I have some more random thoughts that are coming through my head since beginning Flylady.net again and getting into actually loving myself. I will have to come over here and share about it. This seems to be the place I like to vent all my transforming thought spirals, anyway.
I have been on FLYlady for about 2 weeks now and getting into the swing of things, but my body and mind are at odds. I find that my heart BUCKS routine like a mad bull in rodeo season. I know that I can follow one for a short amount of time (like a few months) but after that, it dies to me. I had my son on a gorgeous routine, and now we are kind of willy nilly. It's just too much control, I think. My mind can't deal with all the control over myself and other people, especially not my son.
I grew up in all kinds of control, so I guess that's the residual effect popping through. Chores were mandatory, but also punishment. I was just saying to my husband how I will not be able to give my son extra chores as penance for wrongful deeds. It's why I can't clean a bedroom, abhor washing dishes, and generally cannot declutter anything. Hence, the reason I am all up in FLY.

Hi!
I'm totally with you on no chores as punishment. I do think kids should help, but notice that if you don't bully them around, they actually WANT to?! Its so much easier to just LET them help than it is to MAKE them help. My god daughter has jobs to do when she's with us, but its a way for her to help and be a part of the family, not an enforced thing.
