A Work in Progress

Today being and extra lucky day (1/11/11, I love the number 11, it is my favorite number) I started the day with a determination to get done the things that were just looming over me.
So I went to the gym and got through the body sculpting class with Jessica, well sort of, I have not been since the holidays.
Then decided that I needed to write in my journal after a much needed shower. So I sat on the couch in my room and wrote a full page. As I was re-reading I fell asleep and next thing I knew it was noon.
Started the Laundry. (That is always looming, although I find that I sometimes enjoy it.)
Now I am revamping the blog and it is already time for the kids to come home!

I remember when I used to think that I would have so much time when the kids went to school. And I really do, but somedays are just not as productive as others.

One more thing is that I keep thinking that as I get older I will need less sleep. Maybe it is just the whole teenager thing. Last night we watched BCS championship football game. It was awesome, but it became late by the time everyone got to bed. 5:30 came early this morning.

I guess that there will always be a house to clean, files to organize, drawers to straighten and things to get done. There will be days that are less productive than others, but as long as we are moving forward and keep trying to be the best we can be then it is all good. And if you need to stop and take a nap, then by all means DO IT!

HAPPY 11th day!

I've been moping around all day with a cold and didn't get anything done!! I didn't even notice the fun date!

I feel the same...my house is in perpetual need of cleaning. But I think that knowing that helps so that you can take a break or a nap because either way the laundry still needs to be done.

Happy 11th to you too!

Ha! You mean I WON'T have alllllll this time to do what I want when my kids are all in school?? Totally burst my bubble!

No, I think we can overwhelm ourselves with so much that we feel like that needs done. Which just sets us up for disappointment because who can keep up with everything all the time? We all need to cut ourselves some slack because your right. . .it will always be a work in progress.
