It's Saturday...chore day. I don't know WHY it comes as such a disappointing SHOCK to my kids every Saturday morning. This morning, they came and said "Mom! We did our chores. Can we go outside now?" Upon inspection, I saw they only did half (well, other than the trash being taken out, couldn't really tell they had done ANY.). So, I reminded them of what they needed to do before going outside, to which the water works began! This is pretty much every Saturday morning. BUT, once they're all finished...we're ALL much happier! They feel a sense of accomplishment and responsibility and I feel a sense of..."YAY! Less for ME to do!"
So far, this morning has been a good one emotionally. The past couple of days were really rough and yesterday was torture! Got to sleep til 8am! And I slept REALLY well last night! Probably has a lot to do with my present happy demeanor! Getting some of my own chores done...changing sheets, laundry, cleaning, etc. Took a little break to blog! I can see how this can be addicting!
Well...hoping today is a better day, emotionally and with cravings, than yesterday. I'm thankful that my hormones didn't win out and I didn't binge yesterday! Stayed on plan! So I don't have to deal with the depression that regret brings! Joyce Meyer once said "We have to choose our pain. The pain of discipline? or The pain of regret!" Glad I chose the pain of discipline! :)

My daughter does her chores on Sunday and she tries to get away with certain things. I have been busy also doing laundry, dishes, etc. I am happy that you understood your emotions and didn't binge. I always have a hard time with that. I love that saying by Joyce Meyer.
