Trying to Figure This Out

The world of Blogging is so complex! And to add this to my plate? Wow! What was I thinking? Why do mom's do this, we start another project before finishing the other. Very typical of my life, I have so many things to do, tons of work, sitting in my bag waiting, waiting, and waiting to get done...

Just like the laundry! :)

What is on your plate this week?

Here is mine,
1. Taxes still!
2. Work (way behind on intakes-- I see patients)
3. The Jetta still needs an oil change, STILL
4. Laundry
5. Start studying for my credentialing test
6. Refinance my mortgage (rates are coming down right? Check the rates: www.esl.org
7. Decide what to bring to party this weekend
8. Buy gift for Godson (can't believe he is going to be 4!)
9. pay bills (this one is always on the list)


I really dislike having so many things to do, I wish that I had more time to play, now instead of doing my work (it is 10:00pm) I am blogging :)

Take care and have a good night!

So So Busy

I can't believe the pil eof stuff I have in front of me, and it is 8:41, all the kiddos in bed (long day) and this is the quiet time that I can sit down for a small drink (take the edge off?)

Here is an idea of what runs through my mind: imagine a hamster in a wheel, running and running like crazy, getting great exercise, but getting absolutely NOWHERE!!

I guess I can't dwell on that for too long...

Here is my list of things to do, in a pile right in front of me anyone have similar lists?

Pay my husband credit card, (he is not good about paying things on time) he does given an honest effot though, I just can't pay another $39 late fee!

Renew the family Zoo membership (within 3 times we have our money's worth and we try to go as much as we can!)

Put papers into the work bag

Take a look at a "good faith estimate" re: refinancing, we can't decide whether to wait a few more months to see if we can get a lower rate but $240 less a month over 28 years is a lot of money!

Decide if I am going to sign up for locally grown produce for the summer/early fall. We don't use all of the things that they grow and I am looking to split with another family. It's good to support local farmers and its organic!

Organize the binders for the new curriculum that my nanny is going to use with my son. We purchased it off of www.adaycare.com I think that it looks like good learning and good fun too! I can let you know how it goes, she will probably start sometime next week.

Oh yeah, that reminds me I have a new nanny starting this week, remind me to tell you all about the hell we went through to find a good person, it was quite scary too!

The list goes on and on: taxes, finding addresses, signing thank you notes, etc...

Hopefully I won't get too tired too soon, long day with the lovies (Andy and Birdie) but we got the play room cleaned up a bit!

Gotta do some work!

Help Me If You Can

Well, this is just like me, to take on a new project when there are so many other projects unfinished all ready. Why do I do that you ask? Not sure, it is exciting and thrilling at the same time I guess. It gives you a sense of of what life is like for me, starting new projects without finishing the old ones. The good news is, I will eventually finish the old ones, EVENTUALLY. Here are some of my unfinished projects: moving all of the old pictures that I have into new albums, setting up a preschool curriculum for my new nanny, organizing the play room, etc. etc...

Well you will learn that I function best with many things on my plate, I feel that I have been saying that since high school, it has becomes my mantra I guess.

Well this is a premise, I would like people to get to know me a little better and I hope that people can meet me on the same level at times. We as moms live some crazy lives, we are not only thinking about one thing at a time, we are balancing many things at the same time, we need more than two hands at a time, does anyone agree???

I am not sure how I can be helpful, but I want moms to know that we are indispensable, we cannot forget that and we cannot let anyone tell us any different.

So if you give me a chance, maybe we can learn from each other and be helpful to each other as I have found others to be helpful to me...

Wow, I can't believe I am actually doing this!

I realized that I was spending so much time reading other moms blogs that I decided that maybe it was time to develop my own blog. I don't know if anyone is interested, but sometimes I think that it would be so great if someone could spend a few minutes in my mind to see what life was like for me. I wear so many hats and as the blog states "My plate is always full." I have always functioned that way to be honest, but it makes for some crazy days and interesting times. So if you are ready for the ride, fasten your seat belts, here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
