I've had it with these holidays

Man, I thought I could survive two weeks easily after having the "little angel" at home for months in Hungary before we moved here. I mean what's another two weeks now, right? Well, it was too long and I seriously started focusing on work again the past week already. I ordered all these crafting and paint supplies, and of course she got gifts for Christmas as well to play with, on top of that we started to explore Codemonkey as she seems to be good at math's and I wanted to see if this is for her, I mean can be great for the future if she learns to code.. but damn, I see how she thrives best by her regular routine also.

Sleeping in

I thought I would enjoy the not having to get up moments for two weeks, and I kind of did for a few days but then I started to have serious issues getting up no matter how many alarms I set and feeling wrecked when I got up at 11 eventually. My boyfriend let me sleep while he had to work, ok fair enough as I also do the same for him in the weekends, lol. But I just don't feel great wasting the most productive hours of most of my days. I tried to break the cycle but the cold inside the home is making it hard to wake up so I've noticed. It takes me at least 30 minutes and a coffee to open my eyes properly, let along have a normal conversation, lol. All these questions as soon as I open them are easy to deal with but not when I wake up crappy like I did the past weeks.

So much for rest!

I mean, it was lovely not to deal with work if I didn't want to but I have been super productive in many ways the rest of my day nevertheless. I took the time to start rolling out some plans and actively taking steps to start the process getting some side husstles this year even though it takes time to build and start earning. I started writing the book I wanted to write for a long time and actually making progress every day, which is a lot more than I did abou that the past years and I have been very creative with the kid, feeling inspired to create more and also working to get my new resume done. All things that wil help unlock more income (hopefully) soon. I feel the pressure and I have to get things moving. Seems that the holiday weeks were great to get things moving.

My daughter and losing games

So why the picture in this post? Well, that was inspired by a total meltdown my daughter had two days ago after I won a game. She ALMOST won, but hey, I can't control the freaking dice and then it was my turn and I won. What followed then, I can not even describe and I will not even try. Let's say I never saw her act like this and this was the moment I had enough and gave her a preach she will remember. Yesterday she had the nerve to try starting another one, I made her stop by starting another preach (gosh not my favorite thing though) and voila, I saw that this one actually helped, I saw her calm down and think about it. I made progress and I think we had a turning point. Hoorah! Not going to play that game again anytime soon though, that memory has to fade first, djeez.

So, my question is, is it Monday yet? :)

hehehe I can see myself in many of the things you write. Once, I read on a board outside of a therapies place: those who don't have time for a massage are the ones who should stop and get it.
It seems that we both are big makers, active people, and we have to learn to enjoy the rest and the doing nothing.
Having said that, I feel you 😂
