It's Monday

    It's Monday. Yup, a new week. My weekend had some challenges. Some with family, some with trying to catch up with friends, some with trying to make a book. Not write a book, but I'm trying to make a useful book. And yes, of course I'll share, when it's done.

    I know at times I take on too much. Well at least it feels that way. I have my Mom I care for, she lives with us, I try to stay connected with fiends and family, make time for my husband, and sometimes my grandson stops in and spends the night. I'm also trying to build my business and help others with theirs.  Of course there's keeping up with e-mails ( I have 4) feeding the dog and cats, doing housework ect... (sigh) Sometimes it seems like I'm always busy, but nothing gets accomplished. I guess I'm just having " one of those days."

    But it's Monday, the laundry is almost done, I closed on a party, gave my grandson a ride to school, folded clothes and I actually put them away, not just left folded on the bureau because I got distracted. I'm also  trying to clean the clutter, ( do you have clutter?) I have no idea where it comes from, but it's got to go! So I have someone coming to get some of my clutter. I'm sure they'll make good use of it, and I can check that off my list.

  My goals for the week are to help 3 people get started with their own business. This is my favorite part. It's so exciting! And I want to finish my "book". I also put on my (to do) list, to find a computer class to help me learn how to use WORD or NOTEPAD or EXCEL , well you know what I mean. If I'm going to work on the web, I guess it's time to learn a few things. And to think, back in high school, I was so mad, because we had to buy a calculater, ( which were expensive back then) and I couldn't understand why we had to use a calculater, instead of our brains. I bet most kids have no idea how to divide on paper. I think computers are bad. But, it's so common now, it's hard to be without one. I'm just as guilty.

Seems like I was more organized when I had 3 kids to pick up/ drop off at scouts , basketball, friends, and work 3 jobs. But those days are gone. I love my time at home, I love being with my mom, I love being able to work from home, but I sure don't like being so unorganized. Have you ever heard the saying.. " The faster I go, the behinder I get" ? That's me lately.

 We've had a mild winter, but I'm axiously waiting for spring to get here. I want to start on my garden. Then the caring of the garden and the compost bin, and mowing and picking of flowers and planning cookouts with friends and family. Ahhh I must say, I love staying busy !!

So may we all have a productive week. Time to add to my To Do List :)
