But when he's at school, you still have a few hours that you could organise to better suit your soul... The first part of what I wrote in my previous comment still applies... :-)Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-41063306892600354762008-01-28T17:57:00.000-05:002008-01-28T17:57:00.000-05:00Vesper,I know you are right, and every night I res...Vesper,<BR/><BR/>I know you are right, and every night I resolve I will do just that the next day, and then I don't, because I am an idiot, is the only excuse I can find. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure about the Cheese thing, he definitely needs more attention than I was giving him before, something I was a bit unprepared for, since he was seeking to do things more on his own for awhile, then suddenly REVERSE. <BR/>The thing that amazes me though, and what you seem to be eluding to, is...no matter how much attention I give, the bucket doesn't seem to fill and overflow, nah, more more more, is more like it. I am doing all sorts of board games, and joint TV, and internet activites, yada yada, and he still will come into the bathroom to talk to me while I am in the shower, or when brushing my teeth. Still greet me on weekend mornings by sitting on my bed and talking to me. Still talk to me while I am trying to hear some other family member on the phone. And I still have to shoo him off to bed, no matter how late, so I can put on my PJ's and go to bed myself. <BR/><BR/>I am letting him go on the internet by himself, upstairs, right now for he asked to. And since he had a half day today, after a weekend off, I am seriously needing a bit of alone time. Plus it is some exercise for him, as he walks down the stairs every 5 minutes to tell me what he just saw/read. (then back up stairs again, then down, then up, then down)Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-51029647759696910072008-01-28T12:20:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:20:00.000-05:00I think you should set up a daily target, a certai...I think you should set up a daily target, a certain number of words for instance, but not an absurd one - 500?. Then, sit down at your computer and write that first, do not turn on the TV, let the answering machine take the calls, forget the blogs, do not get on the Internet before you reach your target. I know it's very difficult and that it requires a huge discipline, but I'm sure you'll feel much better once you do it. That's what I would do if I had the luxury of organising at least a part of my day...<BR/>And let Cheese watch some TV alone, or read, or do his homework... It's very nice that you're doing a lot of things together, but this feeling that time is slipping away from you will become overwhelming. I know, because I have it myself.<BR/><BR/>:-)Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-15538780060044171022008-01-26T12:06:00.000-05:002008-01-26T12:06:00.000-05:00Paul,Yes, a schedule, for my disorganized time, an...Paul,<BR/><BR/>Yes, a schedule, for my disorganized time, and disorganized mind.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I like it fine.<BR/> I dread admitting this, as makes me sound like a total dud, but I do not really enjoy playing any games (or watching them, as in sports).<BR/>Bob and Cheese really seem to enjoy playing it, so best to go by them.Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-56964871400485605062008-01-25T10:43:00.000-05:002008-01-25T10:43:00.000-05:00A schedule sounds like a good thing.Do you all lik...A schedule sounds like a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Do you all like Apples to Apples?
