Thanks AJ. I'll get my notes from Divorce Care and share those later.
First, I wanted to check in and let y'all know how I did on my goal setting:
Submit application to volunteer at my church - I think I met my goal here. I sent an email to the senior Pastor in charge of the caring ministries at our church. We recently lost 2 of the table leaders for Divorce Care (to marriage), and so I asked her to consider me to help here.
But the Pastor was on vacation, and will not be back until next week, but at least I put my willingness out there.
Exercise 2x at Exercise room, and an extended walk. Failed. I planned on going to the exercise room yesterday, but did not. But I have a good excuse? I bought my s13 a basketball and there is a court a short walk from the apartment. So I planned on spending some time with s13 playing hoops this weekend.
But then my foolishness kicked in. S13 has not turned in 8 of his homework assignments from the past 2 weeks. And he really wanted me to play with him "so he could teach me how to play 1-on-1". So I made my playing basketball with s13 contingent on his first finishing his homework.
Before I picked up s13 on Friday, I asked W to make sure he had all of school stuff so that we could get his homework caught up. It turns out that s13 did not do this - he left his school ipad at W's place, and this was what he needed for finishing most of his school work. So I was not able to go and play hoops with my son.
I hope I learned this lesson, that I am only hurting myself if I make my exercising based on what someone else does. Time to pick myself up and set me sights on the next week.
