There are some things that I'll have to change in order to balance this school / work / motherhood thing. 

 

1) I have to go to bed by at least 11:30 pm! I know every year I vow to go to bed at a decent hour, but this year it's absolutely necessary.

 

 

 

2) I have to change my diet. I need to eat foods that will help me utilize more energy and I'll have to eat more "brain food".

 

 

3) I'll have to make sure I get myself together the night before. I have a habit of trying to do everything 15 minutes before it's time to leave for work in the morning. PROCRASTINATION ISN'T AN OPTION!!! I don't have time to procrastinate!

 

 

 

4) I need to calm the hell down.  No one can function when they get keyed up.

Re: Revamping My Life
i hear ya dahlin...

life is hectic, and one does need just a few organizational skills at work in order to stay on top of things and feel less stressed out. Remember when you had to have everything ready for your babies when they were little? Just think of yourself as that helpless thing in the morning if you have not organized for yourself...you may end up at school with a dirty diaper and people will wonder what stinks...lol...just to make you smile...lol

i know it is awful, but the more you do, the better you end up feeling...walk in the door, throw a load of washing on, while you are pulling off your good clothes, etc etc...just go go go, and don't sit with mindsay until you have it all done...but if you are anything like me, the curiosity gets the better of me and i have to see if Myclette had anything to tell me this evening!  Since I have been with mindsay, my housekeeping skills have gone out the back door; i just tell my family, who is all grown that they are finally big, fat and ugly enough to do a few things for themselves or they CAN go with diry diapers and no food...heck, i am not in the butt wiping business any longer, and my husband has no kid with my name on it...he lives here, he can help...LOL!

Sorry for the rant...yeah, Myclette, sweetie...just decide before getting groceries, what healthful food you are going to eat, and pack it at night, along with putting out the clothes, making sure your books are all in one pile to walk right out the door...and those keys....in one place only...

you know...love you , i am rooting for you...and i give a hoot as your reply thingy says...

Brain food?! Bah! It is all in your head =) Eat as many tacos as you can handle, I say!

Mycki, do you put the PRO back into PROCRASTINATION?

Re: Revamping My Life
Once upon a time, when I was overworked and stretched too thin and really wigging (I was quite young at the time) she gave me some advice.

Sandi, take a deep breath.

I did.

Now, blow it out your other end.

So, to this day, whenever I get really stressed or frustrated with myself for having a lot to do and not focusing well, I remember my mother's advice.

And, for a moment, it makes me laugh at myself and I feel better.
