I'm not really good at this.....

I can't believe my last post was so long ago. I'm starting to wonder if I can stick with anything that I set out to do. Thought I'd run a 5K. Didn't. Thought I would not eat bread for 1 week. That lasted about 2 days. Thought I'd maintain this blog...........You see where I'm going with this.
But, even though I haven't blogged about it, I have continued to meditate. I haven't kept up with it every day and last night's meditation was watching Coldplay sing "Fix You" on Palladia. That totally counts, right?
I still need to set up a place in my home that I can go and be completely left alone. I have been amazed to notice how little time I really have all by myself in a day. In fact, the only reason I have time to update my blog right now is that it's a Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend. Everyone has left the building and it's just me left to answer a phone that is not really ringing. At the end of the day, when I crawl into bed, I have the intention to sit and meditate for at least 5 minutes and the next thing I know it's been an hour and I have clearly been sleeping since I have a giant crick in my neck. I've tried the morning meditations as well and am just too grumpy in the mornings to really relax into it.
The meditations in my car during lunch have worked out really well. Except one day my phone rang which is synched to the car and I almost went through the roof. I would turn my phone off during these periods except that my phone won't turn off. I don't know what is wrong with it, but the new iPhone 5 is rumored to be released in September, so I'm just going to have to live with this nuisance for a little while longer.
I think the meditation has helped me settle in to summer. It's different for sure, but I'm not so weepy about it anymore. The kids seem to be doing just fine. Of course, it has been non-stop since the very first day. Next week will be the first week that they don't have a scheduled activity every day, so I know they are looking forward to sleeping in for a change. And then we leave for a few days vacation................
