#21dayslater

I should be sleeping, but apparently my body and mind is now a bit tired of this quarencation. So instead I am trying to run through a course or two, have a few that I have been putting off for months (read:years) I woke up with an itch, and a feeling of dread. What am I doing? How will we survive? I need to do all the things so that I can provide! These are trying times. How do I know? Cause I need to keep trying to keep myself calm 😂 On a more serious note (difficult for me, my default when in a panic is to make super lame jokes) - I am one of millions who have sleepless nights over finances. Not having any security or idea of where the money is going to come from is not my problem alone. I feel for each and every one of you. I have no solution, and my encouragement is weak. All I can say is keep going, just don't stop. Keep peddling - even if you don't go forward at least you are not drowning. Let us show our kids, who cannot miss these lessons since they are ON us all the time, what it means to persevere, to keep pushing and to not give up. We are building a monument, make it a good one. . . . . . #abundancemindset #goodthoughts #growthmindset #onlygoodvibes #21dayslater #season2 #alifeleadsimply #wewillgetthroughthis (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_G0pABpUMV/?igshid=1jiiftwg8ca2l

14 days extra, above the 21 we already got. My heart is heavy but my head says it is the right thing. Plus, all this extra time with my 2 princesses! Bonus 😁 Choose your attitude, it will determine your altitude after all. . . . . . #21dayslater #season2 #alifeleadsimply (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1Eb_6J5nJ/?igshid=qvzituouy9h8

Today calls for more than my big girl panties, it calls for red lips! Look at me, wearing real clothes and even SHOES! still have no where to go, but it helps me feel better. Fill your own cup first! Yes, there is a stack of paperwork behind me. Yes my bed is unmade (had to wash everything after an unfortunate Milo accident). But I know - it can only get better! 🤣 . . . . . #redlips #seizetheday #21dayslater (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-thr1hpbbb/?igshid=1umozthuebk4

Getting some work done! The secret? Take ALL THE TIME to set up a fun activity, psych them up, then work while they ignore the activity to rather jump on your couch. At least I get to actually answer a few emails. . . . . . #workfromhome #whatamyth #businessnotasusual #21dayslater #alifeleadsimply (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ol0RMp7Ez/?igshid=11wadmbrmtga8

It's 18h56 and I am in my pj's, staring at the washing that will not be put away tonight. We just finished dinner, and for the first time today the kids are entertaining themselves. Me? I am drinking wine, which I deserve after this day. It went a little something like this: Woke up at 5h45 to A2 whispering loudly in my ear that it was morning, and she wanted me to do somethibg. What I don't know, my ears were still sleeping. A1 woke up, crying that I have not given her Milo yet. The dog pooped in the hall, which I skillfully dodged in the dark (experience gets you everywhere). I made Milo, put on a show for them and started tidying the kitchen (love the time between 7h and 8h when the kitchen is clean). Between my 1st and 2nd cup of coffee I broke up half a dozen fights. Wanted to start on my 3rd cup of coffee when A1 informed me she was starving. As in, never had food before. Gave her food. She wanted none of it. Made her bacon. She wanted it crispy. Ate it behind my back. Told me it was the dog. A2 wanted soup. Fed it to the dog. Dog was still starving. Now it was 7h30. We have already gone through 2 cans of tomato soup, 1 packet of bacon. Still hungry. I ignore them. We do a full scale fashion show, with paparazzi, the works. That keeps them busy for about 15min. They pile ALL my scarves and jump on them. I allow it. We glue fairies. We paint. We eat. They are still bored. And starving. Not bored or starving enough to not fight. I bath with them. Mostly to keep them on separate ends of the bath. We have dinner. Just after 18h. Wine, my old friend. Laundry - tomorrow. How was your day 10? . . . . . #21dayslater #soudslikeahorrormovie #kindofaccurate #stayhome (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-m2MnFJI9Y/?igshid=1avzc6zcfafbr
