The Sunday Currently vol. 7

Recapping the week 

I'm considering adding this to my journaling habits. Alongside the video updates I share exclusively on Facebook and TikTok, I want to keep a record of my weekly activities. Fingers crossed, I can maintain this consistently. 

The kids were mostly home with coughs and colds, leading to another visit to their pediatrician. We also got a chance to check out Mom's newly renovated house, which the kiddos absolutely love. They even got to meet Cookie, my sister's adorable black Shih Tzu, and they're smitten. 

I managed to run a few errands in between, had several productive meetings, and made progress on various projects. All in all, it's been a super productive week, and I'm overflowing with gratitude for all the blessings.

Reading

"The One Minute Mother" by Spencer Johnson. 

It's a quick and super helpful read, perfect for busy moms like me. This book is all about making the most of your time with your kids, even when you're swamped with work. It's packed with practical tips to create a loving and supportive environment for your kiddos while balancing your work from home – something I really need as a full time work-from-home mom! 

Takeaways? Time management, a comfy home office, and self-care are musts. Keep expectations real, share chores, and be flexible. Connect with fellow work from home parents, keep learning, and celebrate wins. Be patient and tweak things as needed for a balanced gig! 

Writing

this blog post. I'm trying to keep up with my blog, shooting for at least three posts a week. But I've been seriously struggling with ideas lately. Thinking about grabbing the kids and hitting the road for a bit to see if that gives me some much-needed inspiration!

Listening

Just vibing to Coldplay's "Fix You" right now. It hits me right in the feels and gives me those good chills. I've got mad love for this band - my kind of jam! 🎶❤️

Thinking

I've been thinking about these things lately:

1. Cracking the Lottery Code. You know, chasing that dream of hitting the jackpot and securing millions for my family's future. 

2. Boss Talk for my Performance Review. I'm gearing up to have that "Boss Talk" for my performance review. It might not be a lottery win, but nailing the review is a solid bet for my future success.

3. Moving my Facebook posts over to my Blogger content. Lately, I've been posting my thoughts on Facebook pretty often. Not sure if Blogger has a mobile app now, though. Last time I checked, it wasn't directly from Google. Writing my blog contents from a mobile device would have been great!

Smelling

Nothing beats that cozy feeling of coffee brewing and its delicious aroma filling the air!

Wishing

to score a solid one-week paid time off, and I'm pretty convinced I've earned it!

Hoping

I'm dead-set on shedding some pounds and getting back in shape. I had my heart set on hitting the gym for months, but honestly, going solo stresses me out.

Wearing

'Loved', my John 3:16 statement shirt, paired with some checkered pattern shorts.

Loving

Absolutely loving our fresh coat of paint in the living and dining room! Plus, I managed to snag two kitchen cabinets to keep everything neat and organized – from the kids' lunchboxes to kitchen appliances. No more stress over piled-up bento boxes and unwashed pots in the kitchen.

Wanting

Desperate need of a larger, well-organized workspace for my work and scents business. I'm yearning for some privacy and uninterrupted time to brainstorm ideas for expanding my business.

Needing

I'm headed to the wellness clinic today with my sister. It's been weeks since I had my vitamin C and antioxidant shot, and I really need it with all the stress piling up at work and home.

Feeling

Quite stressed about the upcoming kiddos' exam week. They've been mostly absent this week due to coughs and colds, and the pediatrician advised bed rest. They've been attending their online tutor classes which is really helpful to prep them for next week. But catching up on lessons might be challenging. 

Another thing is my youngest son's health. Thankfully, other serious issues have been ruled out - UTI, kidney problems, and stable blood chemistry after retests, which is great. However, his protein levels are high, so we're seeing another specialist to be sure. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard to stay sane and keep the worries at bay. 🙏
