They always make me stop and look at my week ahead. I usually have way too many things I want to accomplish in the week, and the week is never long enough. Unfortunately for me, there's no way to stretch time, there is only a certain amount allotted to each week and I am required to fit into it. I'm sure that one of the reasons I like Mondays is because it always looks like I have a L-O N-G week ahead to try and fit everything into. As the week goes by I start to panic more because I don't accomplish as much as I want to fit in, and there's also the realization that logically it really ISN'T going to all get done either.
Therefore I come to the conclusion that I set my exceptions too high. On the other hand if I didn't set them that high, would I really get as much done as I do?
Hmm, please excuse me for saying this all again. I'm sure I must repeat myself frequently, after all, it's my life!
November:
*Not in particular order*
- Finish re-doing blog
- Weekly blogging my "52 weeks challenge"
- laundry & unpacking from our weekend trip
- Finish baby bedding that didn't get done last week
- Wedding invitations made & mailed
- A birthday party for Morgen
- Cheesecakes made for wedding
- Wedding/Reception decorations bought
- Thanksgiving at our house to prepare for
- Trip to ND right after Thanksgiving to prepare for & take.
Obviously this does not include the daily repeat chores of
meals, cleaning, laundry, schooling, and trying to keep my head firmly in place.
Can I state that I'm going to have some seriously new goals for this coming year?
Have a happy Monday everyone!
"WOW!!!" Amazing Maxine...I can only imagine. Wish I lived closer...would love to come help out...but somehow I think you have it all under control. You amaze me!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, except "this is life" and if it isn't a wedding, it will be something else, my goal for the rest of my life is to enjoy it. I'm not there yet.
ReplyDeleteThe circle of LIFE--- First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage! It's going to go on, and on, and ON!
ReplyDeleteand on and on..! glad you have your priorities straight, however, like blog layout..you're my kind of gal!
ReplyDeleteplan your work & then work your plan. looks like you do that every day - good for you!
ReplyDeleteDid I hear someone say "superwoman"?? :) I know you'll get it all done, and you know what, if not, in a few years, it won't matter anyway. Having an actual list does help, though, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteall this is going to keep you "youngatheart" (if you don't let the stress of it all kill you!")
ReplyDeleteArn't you lucky you have some good help still at home.....put 'em to work...and Remember:
"Homeschooling, where learning is for LIFE".
Shelley said it best "This is life" right NOW!
Oh, and from the looks of it, for a long time yet.You may as well settle in and enjoy the ride as you work !
Wow, that's quite a list! It's making me tired...maybe I should get off here and get to sleep:)
