Ha, ha. I thought that title was silly. I am blogging less and really have just been busy. The energy to keep the house clean and straight, the laundry caught up, sheets changed, kids educated and healthy meals on the table...not to mention my new hobbies of sewing and knitting, and social events for the kids and me, then ministry opportunities, and soccer, ballet, Irish Step, AWANA, Keepers, cleaning for music....there just ain't much time left! I forgot also trying to keep in touch with our long distance famiiles and all the birthdays for crying out loud! Not my strong suit, no sir. It's painful how bad I am with getting cards in the mail on time. I've considered sending all of them Jan 1 and just telling folks to wait and open them till the right time. January is when I like to set the birthday party schedule for years when the family is included...does it matter that one birthday on that schedule is at the end of summer?

Anyhow, I digress. My point is, I'm seeing that I've got a lot of little hobbies and projects going on that just take time. Reading, for instance, she's a time eater. And talking to folks about the Lord or politics (in the hope to get around to spiritual issues b/c let's face it, there is a big old overlap)...that takes time. I really am up late again because there is so much to do, I can't get it all done. I've even sacrificed working out and that is nutty! Does the phrase 'junk in the trunk' mean anything to anyone besides me??!! Is that crude? I think it's hilarious.

This is a year of prioritization and if I didn't have this massive schedule to go by, we'd be struggling. Without the work plan laid out all nice, there wouldn't be adequate play time, and you just have to have that! I'm enjoying all that we're doing, I'm just in awe sometimes of how much one person can do in a 24 hour period. It wears me out just thinking about it, and I'm the one who will do it again tomorrow ha ha! But really, don't you feel that way?! Any mom who is running a home and homeschooling, and is involved in her church or community...she's a busy lady juggling tons of stuff all the time. Isn't that better than feeling useless and being bored? Keep up the good work serving your family tomorrow!

I best get off here and get to bed. I'm tarred, as my Bubby used to say.
