About LinkBacksOk, so the other day I was wondering why we don't have any challenges and others agreed it might be cool, so I thought and thought and thought.
What do all of us need? What can we all do that won't take a ton of effort but will benefit us in a big way?
So I thought about UP week, and I guess that was kind of a challenge but it was really great to put focus on all the really great stuff in our lives. So here is my challenge:
GIVE YOURSELF AN "UP" DATE!
But not the kind of date that you're assuming. This is a date with yourself to focus on YOUR positives and relax and rejuvenate YOU.
It doesn't have to be extravagant, you don't even have to leave the house. Just plan an hour or 2 to focus on what is so very awesome about you and all the great things you do and reward yourself for being so darned awesome. Bubble bath and chocolate are not required but are always VERY good options :)

OK, so there it is. My challenge.
I'm gonna plan an "up"date for myself for Saturday night. I'm going to ask BF to take care of the kids, lock myself in the bathroom with my favorite things (A good book, cheap wine, baked good scented bubble bath and a big fluffy towel) and not come out until I convince myself I rock!Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me?

Anytime you want my dear!
I can take the kids to the bouncy house and let them bounce their way for a couple hours while you get a house full of peace and quiet! :D

I figured since I started this thing, I'd better give my progress report...
EPIC fail. I spent ALL of Saturday night feeling anxious and worried instead of relaxing as I should have been. Will try again in a few days.Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up. -Charles M. Schulz

Oh, wish I saw this.
Can we start again?
Cris: Protip, the whole point is to prioritise yourself - notice how we never have time for the things we love because everyone else gets our time first?
Not good lass.
