You ever have one of those days/weeks/or months that are just so incredibly busy that you don't have a moment to spare?  I'm kind of in the middle of one right now....

I thought that with the significant decrease in work I would have some down time, but I was very mistaken...  With all of the stuff we've been doing lately I thought about delaying school, but I decided it would be better to just go ahead and bite the bullet and get started on our 5th year of school...

So far, so good, but then, it's only been 2 days.  We've also been working in the garden and I've had what I think is alot of things to put up.  I did the canning thing for a while, but it was so time consuming that I finally have started to freeze things.  Not as good overall, and I'm going to regret it for sure when our steer comes in, hopefully later this month... but for now it is saving a bit of my sanity.

I tend to get overwhelmed with tasks and forget the big picture often.  This is one reason I try to write things down... if I don't it tends to be forgotten.  THis is also true for meals as well... I get wrapped up in something and then realize we should have eaten an hour ago and nothing is ready.... If I plan out a menu then I can stay on top of the preparations....  It also encourages me to remember to try new things and not eat the same old stuff day after day.....

I've also started planning out breakfast and lunch as well as dinner as I am in serious weight loss mode.  You might notice nothing here is really diet food though.... My issue is that I let myself skip meals and then I binge on sweets/carbs.... So... I'm making myself eat 3 meals a day and an afternoon snack consisting of a protein bar...
