You know how you plan to accomplish specific things on your to do list for the next day? Well, Tuesday evening I was feeling optimistic and planned how the day was going to go for Wednesday. What I didn't take into account was how I would feel on Wednesday.
Needless to say, I woke up cranky, tired and unmotivated. Some of the items on my 'to get done' list included stopping at yet another grocery store, going to Michael's crafts to look for a birthday gift for one of Em's friends, get to another store to look for some non-candy related items for Easter baskets. I had in mind peds to wear with sneakers, maybe a cute T-shirt/short set and just start to knock things off the list. Well, my frame of mind just was not present yesterday.
I went to the grocery store and forgot the list! I thought maybe I had left it in the car, so I parked my cart with my fruits & veggies in it and went out to check. Nope, not there. There wasn't a ton on the list, but somehow it did not make it to the store with me, the store ad and my coupon box. I knew then that I should've just stayed home. So about a half hour later I return home disgusted. My list was in the living room with my clipboard and notes that I had taken from one of the online Mom Conferences I watched on organizing the night before. (Ha! Organizing!!! How ironic!!!)
At 1pm in the afternoon I was feeling like a loser as a wife and mother. (There was a slight huff Wednesday morning about not wearing a jean jacket. This is a story for another time.) How to pick myself up and get motivated to do SOMETHING??????
I decided to make a photo to upload to the contest @5minuteformom to possibly win a Pro75 account with Pixorial. So here is mine:
Got that done and crossing my fingers I win something since I didn't have any luck at the Google+ Hangout or the Twitter party.
Before I knew it ----time to pick the kids up from school, after-school snack, dinner, clean-up dishes, take Kaye to Daisy Scouts, and help Em with her book report. Well, the book report took MUCH longer than I thought because she needed my help to make a brochure in Open Office Draw and I had to rotate words, and measure where items went because it is a tri-fold brochure. It was nice to spend time with her working on this project and I will probably share it with you all when it is complete.
After the kids went to bed I wanted to watch some T.V. with Jay, but he was beat and already sleeping. I decided to listen to a few Mom Conferences online.
Up first was the topic of defining your time. Boy do I need help in this area! I also listed to the Systems of A Healthy Marriage: Top 3 Successful Marriage Tips. Great advice!!!!
