21 Day - Day 14

9:15AM
Preparing for Seniors class. Watching Kripalu DVD gave me stimulation and ideas. Had an interesting dream this morning...I dreamed that I was doing the handstand-backbend and back over several times. Effortlessly. I was hovering in Space just above the Earth, no friction, just fluid motion over-back over-over again. As I came back over, I stood in handstand a moment, then I started to fall toward Earth. Sparks burst from my head, like a comet. Flames and light flowing down my body as I shot like a falling star to Earth. My eyes were closed but I had a huge smile on my face. I felt no heat, no resistance, no fear of falling. Then logic took over and I thought, 'wait a minute, if I'm falling to Earth, I would definitely feel heat.' Then I woke up.

11:45AM
Ended Seniors class. Went well. Feedback was that the workout was good. I almost ran out of time! New student joined, from Monday class. She was upset about yesterday's class being cancelled and not being told. I was empathetic and she joined my class. I hope she returns.

8:00PM
My son has been uber-challenging today. I witnessed him pnuch a peer. However it was a part of the game or not, I requested he stop. He continued. I called him over to discuss and he raised his fist at me. I sent him inside. I do not know what to do sometimes. I want to let him outside unsupervised, but if he ignores my please then it's a disciplinary action required and supervised visits with friends.

He acted out again at Soccer tonight. He even said "yay, I get to go home." I know he's not thrilled with soccer, but I need him to continue if he wants to do more things. I kept my cool, but I told him that anywhere we go, no matter if it be shopping, he'll be done for the day.
