I don't want to write about last week -- schedules, lists, progress, because I'm not feeling that great about it. But I think it's important for my own accountability, as well as to acknowledge that parts of it actually did go well -- especially considering how busy we were with Halloween festivities. Summary of last … Continue reading Snippets From Last Week Along With a Better Plan for This One
Happy Halloween a Day Late
First, I feel compelled to confess. Last week did not go as well as I had hoped in the organizing/scheduling sense. More on that to come... But ever the optimist, I'm gonna tell you what I'm happy about. WE SURVIVED HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow’s Plan
I wrote down my tentative plan and list since I learned last week that if I can't see it, I'll do whatever I feel like in the moment. Lots of gaps, but it's something. At least it's on paper -- and now here. Thank you, readers, for serving as my life coach. I'm sleepy. But … Continue reading Tomorrow’s Plan

Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
My previous post touched on the why. Now I'm going to set my schedule and fill in accordingly. Again, working my stuff out on this blog. The biggie here is that I've reached a point where I do not want to get out of bed in the morning. I think it's a bad case of … Continue reading Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
Revamping My Schedule
Prepare yourself, friends. Here comes another I gotta get my life together post. I need accountability and since I have none of that in my real life, I'm using this blog. I'm overwhelmed and at that point where I'm just sitting -- staring at the piles and trying to settle my brain and decide what … Continue reading Revamping My Schedule
I’m Tapped Out on Family Fun
I've spent the past four nights in a tent...with Gil, the kids and one of our dogs. I have one more to go. I like camping and roughing it and all that, but I think three nights is my max. On Day 2, I made the mistake of sharing with Gil that I was enjoying … Continue reading I’m Tapped Out on Family Fun
