I have also been re-writing the 108 questions that I started this year with. That feels good.
The main challenge for me has been my 9 and 8 year old boys. If one of them is not having a meltdown, the other one is. It's like they take turns with their problems. They are never having problems at the same time. And it also feels like they are shooting a "machine gun" of demands and wants and desires at me all day long. Ratta-tat--tattt--rattta---tatt-tatt. God, it is exhausting. In the meantime, our 1 year old is a dream. She sleeps wonderful, and only has fits when she is tired and wants to go to bed.
The Dog Whisperer guy, Ceasar Millan, had a lot of good advice for dogs, which Christine and I applied to kids today, and it worked really good. His main message is that if you are feeling tense and angry and cranky, the dogs (in this case, kids) will reflect that back to you. So you have to be calm and dominant, totally at ease in your role as "pack leader." We did that, and it really worked. It can be a real challenge to stay calm. A real challenge. Did I say it is a real challenge?
I fell off the wagon as for the juicing goes, but I'll get back on again.
I am so deeply grateful to send the Love every day - so really grateful!!1
