I read a list of 26 ways to find energy. along with typical 'avoid high sugar foods and the spikes/dips' there was also a few interesting tidbits.

like 'write down what you are looking forward to in the next month" apparently anticipation can give energy.

which brings me to my question..just what am I looking forward to?

At first I didn't think there was anything, I honestly could only think of work that needed done, but the more I thought the more I came up with...mostly the rewards of the work I have to do. I did come up with a few that I would love, but have no guarantee of, like JC learning to subtract with borrowing, or EL sleeping thru the night, and UE reading or GMC understanding algebra. Since I have no control of time on those, I figured they wouldn't give me much energy.

1. Swimming...no I can't swim, but I will be able to get in the pool in a few weeks, and I love helping my kids learn to swim.

2. Seeing my kids participate in the bike rodeo...actually I am NOT looking forward to the work of it, but I will love watching my kids ride.

3. Fitting into smaller pants. This may take work to achieve, but I have high hopes of success by the end of the month. (I finally have the energy for a daily walk, so there is hope)-not the right size in one month, just one size closer.

4. Baking. I like to bake, but while pregnant I really find it next to impossible. now that I am not, I have already baked a bit, and plan on more in between nursing sessions.

So there is my list, remind me to check back at the end of the month to see if all 4 wonderful things happened!

oh and now that I am all energized with anticipation..can I take a nap?
