I (once again) find myself at a place where I really need to rethink my priorities on so many levels, especially now that we've decided to homeschool for the year with our younger kids. Time, money, spirituality, family, health. So much to do. I am really fighting utter exhaustion, and I have a sneaking suspicion I need to focus more on me ... not necessarily my interests (because I haven't stopped reading, and I just had a visit with my bestie, I still take naps, and I am eating waaaaaaay too much chocolate) ... but the things I need to do to take care of me. You know, the hard stuff.
I keep thinking of the Flylady and her advice to focus on baby steps. It's hard not to sprint when you know you have miles to go, or to just sit down and give up. Neither one of those options end up productively, but they are still so tempting.
So, even though my to-do list should be a mile long, my goals for today are to:
Exercise.(Yay, I already took a walk this morning!!)- Drink 8 glasses of water.
- Study my scriptures. And pray. But maybe reverse that order.
- Find all of the towels and wash them. (Yeah, it's that bad.)
Everything else I get done after those things is fluff. Well, not really fluff, but bonus stuff, and it will make me feel good, lol.
