Manic Monday

This weekend was not a complete failure, but undesirable at best.

Didn't make it to the gym, but went on a short bike ride
Passed up a great shooting opportunity, but got editing done and was home with the boys
My last minute mini session was a flop, but I've got some new set pieces
Had a really shitty attitude Sunday, but now my bathroom is cleaner than when I moved it

As someone who has struggled with severe depression and managing it with meds since 2005-this is a huge improvement. I used to not be able to find that silver lining in less than desirable outcomes. I also try to be more upbeat and positive so Roman doesn't pick up on my negative nelly habit. Life is so much easier to deal with when you can take things and put a positive spin on them.

Monday's tend to feel like a ton of bricks, I want to come out of the gate 100mph and I feel like I'm leaping over cow patties and putting out fires and get distracted. Sometimes too easily distracted (oh look pinterest) LOL

Today I'm home with Roman who has an upper respiratory virus. I'm balancing work time with activity time and trying not to let him watch too much tv. I'm creating a realistic expectation of what I can accomplish today. I'm being positive,by encouraging his rest today, tomorrow I can do errands out of the house.

And now to heat up some chicken soup and goldfish for his lunch. And maybe even a nap.....
