First of all, I dropped the ball. Typical me. Set myself up for a challenge and managed to keep it up for one full day. Go me! But life is a work in progress, Rome wasn’t built in a day and it will take some time for me to stop being a procrastinator and get into the habit of writing every day.
In case someone wants to know, the other two goals I set myself were to drink 3 large glasses of water every day and to exercise for 20 minutes every day. So far I’ve managed to drink the water but have failed on the exercise challenge. Monday is the start of a new week so the perfect time to get back on track with exercising. This coming week will be a bit tricky for the challenges as I will be watching my 3 year old nephew full time and my two nieces (5 and 8) in the afternoon. Which brings me to my topic for today ... children.
That word brings so many different things to mind: Cute, funny, annoying, naughty, loud. Notice how most of them are negative. I feel horrible for saying it, but taking care of kids is such a challenge. Especially when I think of how different kids behave nowadays. Back in my day (god, I feel old!) children listened to adults and were basically seen and not heard. I had a strict upbringing and I actually respected adults and was afraid of disobeying them. I wouldn’t dream of talking back or expecting an adult to jump for me. There were rules and I did not disobey them because I did not want to get punished.
