There was a time in life when I was "Little Miss Organized". I had everything done on time. No, I had everything done well ahead of time. I never forget things I was supposed to do. The house was always in perfect "company condition".
But those times are gone. Things slipped more and more with the addition of each kiddo. But as they all got a little older, I felt like I might be gaining a little ground back. Then wham...this whole homeschool adventure began. Things have never been worse.
But in keeping with my whole new "Chill Out" philosophy, I am trying to remind myself that I'm doing the best I can. And finally this morning, I accomplished a few things which should have been done earlier...
1. I finally finished writing our Christmas thank you notes. (I hope no one is offended that it took me so long!)
2. I finally had Rich cut my hair. And my gosh, does it feel good! He cut about 8" off, and let me tell you, I feel like a new woman!
3. I finally watched the last episodes of CSI and ER that Rich had taped for me before Christmas. (Figured I'd better get to that one, since new episodes will be on tonight.)
4. I finally started a project "just for me". Actually I started this yesterday morning, but I worked a little more on it today. It's funny, I read Dawn's blog entry this morning...and we seem to be on the same wavelength. We've both decided it's time to take a little time for ourselves and renew our love of crafting. So I started work on this beautiful needlepoint kit my mom gave me for Christmas.
Hey, better late than never, right?

Yep, that's all you can do - the best you can. If you know it's your best, that's all that counts. Sounds like you're doing just fine.
Enjoy your "me" time - it makes you a happier, better everything! :)
I totally admire you for homeschooling. I cannot imagine the time and dedication that must take. You most certainly should have some time for you. So glad you got started on a craft project you enjoy!
Oh, and I didn't know CSI tonight was new! Thanks for pointing that out, I probably would have missed it! We watch "Shark" afterwards, instead of ER, so hopefully that one is new also!!!
I am feeling a little behind myself today. I still have the thank you notes to write myself. I've only done about a third of them. I hope I can stay awake for CSI tonight. Grisom is supposed to be leaving the show (short term). I love his character! I'm going for a haircut myself next week. I don't think I've got 8 inches to cut LOL! I'll bet it feels good on you.
Good luck with the "me" time. I'd love to see the project when you finish it.
take care,
Dawn
