Goals for my week.

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted. So sorry.

Have you ever had a period in life where you just feel like you are on auto pilot? I am sure that most of us have. Between our families, work, church, home, and anything else that we do it can feel like everyday we are just going through the motions. We are there but we are not really connecting. This has been me, and I am tired of it. But how do I fix it?

Well, first off I admit that I have a problem lol! Isn't that the first step to a lot of things?

Secondly, I need to figure out a way to make my time work for me instead of the other way around. No more being lazy! If I keep up a little each day then things don't become so big and get out of hand.

I frequently tell myself that I cannot take up a new thing because I do not have he time. This isn't really all together true. Yes, when people look at my schedule they feel a little light-headed but there are a lot of short spaces of time in between that I could use to my advantage. I NEED to do these things.

What are these things that I keep referring to? My friends and my church. I put them on the back burner too often in the excuse of not having the time.  If I don't make time for them then when will they make time for me?

And the other thing I need to take time for is ME..... Yep, this is still a tough one. I want to just keep going and sometimes Josh has to literally force me into going to read a book for pleasure! This is sad, I guess.

So I guess that my goals for this week are

  1.  To go out with at least one friend.
  2.  Go to an extra church service or event.
  3. Get through my latest Tedd Dekker book if it kills me!
These may seem trivial to some but right now it's something that I need to do. I need to find balance. I want to be a happy and carefree as my little Kara.



What are your goals for the week? Would you like to see a weekly post about goal setting?

Okay readers, you may have to hang in there with me tonight. I am not feeling to good I want to go bed but it's one of those things where I can't sleep. So I decided to take some time for myself to write and relax. I lit a candle, changed into my jammies and have slow music on Paandora. See, I am feeling better already! Yesterday was great day and Kara was being so good that I decided we would cook together! Now that is something we had not tried until yesterday so I was taking a big risk. I knew that we would most likely end up in disaster. I was pleasantly surprised though and we only had 2 incidents that involved tears. She doesn't really understand the whole taking turns thing yet. So by now you must be wondering what we made. I started out looking for ingredients for dinner but then I found a can of pumpkin. I turned it around and found that I had all I needed to make a pie! Pumpkin Pie is one of Josh's favorite foods. I don't really like it but because I...

A Busy Mom's Guide to Being Sick

Yuck! The famous stomach bug has landed at our house. Fortunately, it isn't the kind that makes you want to die, it just clings to you and makes you super tired and icky. Because of this I did not go to work today. I hate calling in! I always feel like my boss will never understand, this is silly because she is actually really good about being understanding.  So if I don't need to feel worried I begin to feel guilty. Guilty that I am taking the day to lay around and recoup. I have a million things to do and Kara needs my attention, I can't just lay in bed I tell myself. Yeah, you know you have done it too! In that case I normally get up and do too much and make myself sicker than I was originally. Thus, the cycle starts over! Today I decided I would be good to my body and try to rest. But I still had so much to do! So to ease my feelings I decided to find things that I could do from either my bed or couch, all the while keeping Kara entertained. I started out working ...
