today i want some balance. so far, i am not off to a good start, unless i am gonna just count this early morning time as my own time--which i really don't want to do....
i want a good balance of stuff today. i don't want to just hyper-focus on one area, but i don't want to scatter myself so thin on each thing that i don't actually get anything done either....i think i need to make a little list-y and then prioritize it....that way i won't just fritter my day away.....there are things that i NEED to do, and things that i WANT to do, and some of the things that are needed are actually wanted too, so that is fortunate :o)
i will probably get going full swing and be really enjoying myself and my day, and have it all nailed down, then jenna will call and say it is time to go to the hospital :o) then, my little list-y will have to wait for another day--which should be tomorrow huh??? not next month when i actually feel like being balanced again LOL
so...what is on the list???
move the old dishwasher into the garage
move the freezer food from the old freezer to the new one
do atleast 4 loads of laundry
buy a gift for kyle and take caoin to party
clean the church
make copies of 3 letters (30 copies each)
sew those totes!
make 10 st. patty's postcards
CLEAN MY ROOM!!!
clean part of the office
clean part of my sewing room
quilt mom's quilt
organized my knitting junk--again!!! to start that new pair of socks-YEAH! this is something that i want to do really bad!!!
re-take all the quilt top pictures that i took last friday when my chip died....then post them.
gather junk to take to the hospital for when silas is being born--like camera and knitting--if i get to do the organizing and starting of the socks then that would be grand! i HAVE to finish up a scarf too though.....it can come along with the socks!
oh yeah, do that 2 page paper and final of 6 questions and 1/2 page each and that powerpoint presentation to go with it......
i think i had better stop writing and start doing! that list is way too long....i am gonna go make a new coffee--love that espresso machine--every time i use it i have such joy--i am glad that i am childlike and can really appreciate and get a thrill from experiences. they never get old :o) making coffee is still a joy LOL
ok, off to make a coffee...but first i could start a little load of laundry since it is on my way--hip hip hooray! i am convincing myself to get a move on!
just a bit about me, my family and my life.....my thoughts and my spot to put a bit of my creativity.....this picture was taken at the rock of cashel in ireland, sept. 2007

Wow, that's a full day you've got planned!
Balance is a difficult to find for most, and I'm sure even more so in your big household. I like your list because it's got things on there for YOU as well as for those around you. Hope you got as much accomplished as you wanted!
well, i was just looking that list over this morning, and seeing just how much DID get accomplished....and, happy to say, LOTS did get done....and LOTS didn't LOL, so there again is some balance ha! i did get to do some things for need and again some for want, and that was a great thing. i also added in a grand fun time with my friend joan, and she ALWAYS sidetracks me--but it was a good time investment in a friendship....so i don't chide myself for using that time with her instead of tackling the list.
actually, just my room and the time in the office and sewing rooms did not get done from the list....oh yeah, i did not get my mom's quilt done either.....and still have to work on that paper and presentation....
we are still awaiting the arrival of silas--jenna goes to the dr. this am, so we shall see what's next...
i am working on that list again today, adding a few more things....gotta love life....never stagnant at any rate.
