Yesterday was Father’s Day here in America (Apparently dozens of countries honor Dads). Overall it was a good day. Kid 2 is with me all week as he is on his summer schedule now.
Kid 2 and I attended a Minor League baseball game: which is exactly what I wanted to do. I spent money that I should have spent on other, more productive, things; but yesterday was the perfect day for doing something exclusively for me.
Lomax has advised me about that – doing what’s not just what’s best for me, but also to do things for myself. It’s not as if I NEEDED to go to the game yesterday; but I do think it’s important to indulge ourselves – to treat ourselves every now and then
Yes, todays title and the above graphic come form an episode of Parks & Rec – the only episode I’ve ever seen, mind you, but self-care is crucial.

The truth is, I’ve been indulging in others too much lately. I’ve been spreading myself too thin. I will ALWAYS put my children first and that will never change. But for the last few months. I fee like I’ve just been going through the motions in life, and I’m trying to be more proactive.
This new change in attitude comes on the heels of me getting a teaching position in a new school for next school year. Not that my administration let me a choice.
But that’s a problem with me. More often than not, I almost have to be backed into to a corner before I enact any change in my life. This is another thing Lomax and I have discussed. but I am learning. After all, no one forced me to go to the baseball game yesterday. It was entire about me and what I wanted to do.
