So, schooling has begun, and I've already had my share of productive, lazy, and COMPLETELY unpredictable weeks. I've been weighing and praying over the ideas of recognizing when I need to suck it up and um, be disciplined v. when I need to let something go. I am mostly talking about the rest of my life that is getting skipped, not schooling. Then I read this at girltalk about life's "interruptions". Perfect timing and sentiment.
True to form, they are doing a little series, and it looks like there will be some suggested guidelines to help identify priorities. I am really interested. Either that, or I just want to forget it all and go have a nap.
Brian is at the Ligonier conference in Scottsdale--pray for him! Should be awesome. I get to do fun things with the girls like go to a wedding reception and parade, etc. Nothing to complain about, but sometimes I just wish I could turn everything off(usually for about 2 days) and pick up my house, clean(?), uh, landscape my yard, and return a few phone calls. It sounds like the beginning of a "to do" list. And like being disciplined should probably win out. I think I've been "letting things go" since Ali was born, b/c everyone knows you can get away with that when you have 3 kids under 2 years old. hmm Seems that putting something off can actually tire me out MORE than my kiddoes.
--Speaking of interruptions, and procrastinating, for that matter, Ali has been calling out for me(from bed) for a while now. I just went back to see what was up and she was laying in the middle of her room, in a very interesting pose, claiming to have fallen out of bed. "Mom, I just tumboed, I just tumboed wight out of my bed."
