Do You Ever Have So Much To Do

September16

that you just do noth­ing? That has been me lately. It’s not like I have things to do that are school­work or work from a work out­side the home job, but I have so many things I want to do, I don’t know where to start. Let me list the projects I have in my head: purge unwanted stuff from my house, orga­nize the stuff that is left, fin­ish sewing quilt I started before K was born, start (and fin­ish) quilt for A, read any of the 15–20 books float­ing around in my head on a “to be read” list, send out 2 bills for the adver­tise­ments in my MOPS newslet­ter, put that load of laun­dry in the dryer that I washed and for­got about, spend more time read­ing my bible, clean the car­pets in my house, and a few other things that I can’t think of right now. A few years ago, Jason bought this book called some­thing about eat­ing a frog. It was a book about how to get things done. I think maybe I need to read and reread and re-reread that book. One more thing for my to do list!

    I’m start­ing to remind myself that it will never get done if I just don’t do it. For the bor­ing stuff, it usu­ally doesn’t take as long as I would make it out to be. My 4 year old’s line right now is, “I don’t want it to take long.” when I ask him to clean up or some­thing. Of course it doesn’t take long if he gets started right away. I learn a lot from my kids.
    Well, I bet­ter get off to my dishes :-)
