Ah, back after a pause of the blog. I'm not doing a great job meeting my goals, however I'm doing an admirable job working towards them. When I fall down, I get back up again and trudge on. My running hasn't happened when I have hoped, so I have completed them at other times. I've run twice since my last blog entry, which is a sight better than none at all!
Unfortunately (but fortunately, I guess), it's time to employ a schedule in my life. I have too much going on to be able to plan willy nilly. I have Bible time & prayer, running, mentoring, Bible classes, meetings & appointments, friends and p.j. time to juggle, not to mention the job and keeping up with the business and affairs of the home. It's feeling a bit overwhelming, although its obviously not too much to fit into my life; I just need to get organized.
I used to be the organization and neat 'n clean queen, but somewhere along the way I got tired (or stoned, maybe). Marriage helped, as multiple people make for more business and more of a mess than does one, so I was forced to get going or be buried in a humongoid mess. p.j. is excellent with helping around the house - rather, I should say amazing - but I am "the noticer" of most things needing done and I do all the finances and family business. All of these things could benefit greatly by the implementation of a schedule.
So that's my next goal: Get a weekly calendar and USE IT!
I'm actually pretty excited about this, as there is so much to do and I'm looking forward to doing it. Hey, maybe there's a nifty iPod ap for this...
