Didn't do any school work from Thursday till now!
Reasons: Had guests on weekend (which is Friday-Saturday in Israel). On Saturday night went out with guests, because the kids weren't tired, so I knew that I won't be able to work, so why not take them out. It was fun, but we ended up returning at 12:45 AM.
On Sunday we all got up late and I missed my chance for morning prayers. I was tired and if I don't work the steps in the morning - writing 10 gratitudes + what I'm powerless about, then my emotions take over, and it's very hard for me to work.
At 10 AM the plumber came to fix a leak we had in 2 places. The house turned into a mini construction site. Big mess. I only sent the kids out at 5 PM, but I was so emotionally drained, I just couldn't write. I tried to work the steps and pray, but couldn't. I started cleaning the house and only finished at 12:30 AM, while putting the kids to bed. All I could do at that point is shower and crawl into bed.
Now, I feel bad for not doing any work since Thursday!
