Today has been a productive day

Today has gone well.

In the morning I managed to read through the information that the twins nursery teacher lent me to read. I will take notes from one of the things that she lent me and I have ordered the book that she let me read. I managed to get it from Amazon for 1p.

After what I read I have set up a calm down/time out area in the landing. There is nothing else in there except the cushions that they will sit on. It is the only place that I can put them at the moment but I think it should work.The few times that I needed to use it today went well. My youngest son spent some time there and so did my daughter. They did not like it there, but they sat there and did not move. Hopefully this will help.

I had a think about why I get so short tempered. I think it is a combination of being raised by short tempered parents and living with a short tempered partner. Also not being able to deal with stressful situations that has let to me being short tempered. I looked up some information about keeping calm on the Internet. I have printed it out and I will read through and use the techniques that it has advised.

I checked my E-Mail today and I have got a reply from Mills and Boon about how many words to write. It was better than I had have hoped. They sent me a word document with a lot of different information about what they require from their different types of romance. It will not only help me know how much to write but how to write it as well. It basically what what was available on their site but it saved me the time of looking through it. It also saved me the time of copying it and pasting it into a Word document to do the same thing myself.

I meditated for longer today and even though my mind wandered a bit more today I was able to get my focus back. It did not help that I was tired so at some points I was drifting off to sleep. I am however pleased that I was able to keep going and I was able to refocus on the meditation.

I am really pleased with how well I did today. I really like it when days are naturally productive as I can get much done on them.
