End Of The Day

What is that one task that you dread doing at the end of the day? 

For me, even though I love my dogs dearly, it would be feeding them. I'm normally in so much pain by the time I am due to feed them, that it is such an effort! Some nights it feels like my arms aren't strong enough to even hold the food, let alone prepare it for them. And when you own a 55kg (121 pounds) dog. He eats quite a bit, let me tell you!! So his bowl can get quite heavy by the time that I give it to him. That being said, I love him beyond words and I will take any pain, just to ensure he is fed every day. 

I probably should do it in the mornings, but if I have appointments on then I get even more rushed and then I am anxious, so it is probably not a good idea. 

My dogs also know exactly when their dinner time is and my little girl will whine from about 5:15pm until I feed them at 5:30pm. My little girl must think that I am the meanest fur Mummy ever for making her wait a whole 15 minutes for her dinner each evening. 😂

I'm guessing for most parents, it would either be dinner time or bath time etc. I am so glad that my daughter is now 22 and can look after herself and she even cooks better than me! Whilst I was 'parenting' I would say that the task I dreaded the most was cooking dinner. My daughter was quite a good child, so bath times were never really an issue, apart from her taking too long. 😂 Actually thinking about it, maybe it wasn't even so much cooking dinner, it was actually making her lunches!! 😂 My daughter is not what we would call fussy at all. She will try most foods and likes most foods. But I was the one that then had to come up with budget lunches (being a single mum, I was on a budget) and that is not easy for a child that wants every single fruit and won't eat a sandwich every day! I will say as much as I love my daughter, I am so glad that I am done with 'parenting' every day. I love being a Mum, but being a single one and doing it all on your own can suck! 

Do you have a particular task that you have to do at the end of each day that you absolutely dread? Leave a comment about what you dread at the end of the day, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
