Look For The Silver Lining!

When A door closes a window will open!

There Is a silver lining in ever dark cloud!

There is supposed to be a positive with every negative!

It can be hard to seen with everything going on around the world!

The after effects of everything will be another factor into the look for the silver lining I think!

How are you doing through all the covid-19 craziness?

Do you know work from home?

What are you doing for Easter weekend?

With being at home now, and limited access to Easter stuff I better think of something! I have 4 kids, ages 11,9,3 and 1, so the variety of goodies can be a challenge. I always procrastinate and I did it again. I’ll post on my social media pages on what I put together!

As the days are turning into weeks, and months of covid-19!

There is so much still happening, but it’s in our homes, with our family. Not at work with our work family, then home to our family.

Everywhere I go I hear ” I’m so bored at home, all I have is time!”

This is not the case for me! I don’t know if I’m not doing something right? Cause I am more busy now then I was before lol.

Let’s find the silver lining?

Yes!

I am more busy, there is 4 kids and a husband here I will point out. Now the funny thing is it’s just the older kid’s not in school that is different right now! Home lessons are not a problem, I had stuff on hand and with working with, my kids for years with doing some work at home, as I am the mom that will keep up light schooling on holidays and through the summer months.

The younger ones are home anyways these days, I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old.

Our routines have stayed somewhat the same! I think this is something that is making my ancy. I had not got my routines as smooth as I would like. We had some crazy changes I our lives in 2019, and then we get handed 2020.

My routines are out and like a roller coaster, making it hard for me to get my head in a smooth routine.

Silver Lining here is there is always room to improve.

Why not try to figure out routines that will work for everyone. To help with this I made up a quick little hourly layout. Every morning when I sit down with my planner I am trying to get an outline on the day.

This way if anyone is a deer stuck in a headlight they can look at the hourly and see what we are trying to get done that hour.

Something I should point about myself is I try to take on everything! “I can do it all,” is what I say. However I can’t do it all, then I just get upset with myself, which is silly as I know I can’t do it all, so why do I keep trying to do it all?

This week I wanted to start my workouts again! Good for me right! Well I feel this is where I will point out, that there is at least one kid up usually a little one by 6:30am. I don’t get everyone in bed till at least 9:30 pm. This has made it oh so hard.

With still having my morning, noon and evening in place, there is really no place for a workout. It is not fun trying to work out with little kids. It’s just not,  especially when you are trying to get your grrr out from then day, have a couple thoughts, maybe class it as me time! Not easy when a kid is climbing on me, playing with my weights etc.

So how to get the silver lining. I just thought I would get up a little early and have some me time, do a workout and then have the kids ups!! Thunderstorm came in, I was getting up at 5:30ish and trying to get my workout in by 6 to be done for 630! Nope, sure not working, some days just getting up, and motivated that early and fast, I couldnt fully focus as I am on a time line, if I slept in I was instantly hit with anxeity cause now my morning is out.

So look at it in a different light. I’m going to try a quick 10 minute workout, at some point of the day, it’s only 10 minutes which is easier to put in to start!

The other night I decided I need to be happier and we deserve better memories through this world pandemic!

I have decided on a new routine for us! With my planner and an hourly layout, there is sliver linings to all the obstacles.

I am more focused now then ever to get everyone a smooth system, there is lots of together time and emotions can come quicker then normal. A good routine I’m hoping will make everyone calmer.

I had also decided the other night I’m not trying to do it all! I need to shake it off and get everyone taken care of before the “extras” come in! These “extras” are the ” I can do everything.” I want to have good family memories from this, not mad, difficult times!

How are you doing with the new life style we are in right now?
