I really am suffering through this time of year.  I can't stand it!  I am starting to feel desperate.  I might go tanning, just for some "sun."  And I don't go tanning.  But see, I am desperate.  First, I will try to remember to take my vitamin D; maybe that'll help.
So that being said, my whole life is sort of out of whack.  The house is a mess!  It's so unorganized and that makes me twitchy.  We have been having school, sort of, now and then.  Well, maybe 2 or 3 days/week, which is fine with me right now.  But everything else is falling apart.
I made a decision this weekend that I am not going to let this depression best me!  So I plotted out my week, and we'll see how it goes.  I managed to drag my sorry self into the gym yesterday, and again this morning.  I can't remember the last time I went two days in a row!  Going to the gym will definitely help me feel better.

Monday:
LR
clean playroom with kids
3 loads laundry  (one done already)
gym  (done)
prep dinner (we'll be out late for dance, so no time to cook when I get back, just reheat)
sort clothes  (done)
put kids' clothes away
school
kids' zones (they each have an area downstairs they have to clean (just the floors)

Tuesday:
3 loads laundry (yes, I am behind, and have to wash comforters too, thanks to my cats)
sort clothes from yesterday (into each kids' dishpan, to be put away)
tidy our room
put clothes away
gym
zones
boys' room
school
bath
sew AWANA patches

Wednesday:
3 loads laundry (yep, I have that much, esp. wash S's AWANA vest because it's so yucky--how does he do it?)
sort yesterday's clothes
kitchen
library field trip
K and V's room (very scary black hole in there)
zones
school
AWANA verses
AWANA
pack lunches for Thurs.

Thursday:
up to 3 loads laundry (whatever's left)
sort yesterday's clothes
DR (dining room)
work a little in basement
homeschool class at the library
school (at library with the other kids not in the class)
put clothes away
gym


Yes, it's a lot.  But not really.  Even the "big" projects, like cleaning the girls' room, won't take more than an hour.  Well, "work in basement" could take all day, but I know I don't have a lot of time and I at least want to take all the stuff I've piled up to get rid of out to the garbage for Friday.  It really does help me a lot to have goals to work toward.  I definitely get more done when it's all written down.  I'll let you know how it turns out!
