When life seems to fly by at Mach 50 sometimes it's important to slow things down. I feel like I've been flying at Mach 50 since April and I could tell my fuel tank was running dangerously low. So much has happened since the new year I feel like my head is left spinning from all the busyness.
T's Navy retirement, T's new job, E's high school graduation, preparing for another cross country move, selling our home in SC, finding a new home, moving cross country, emergency medical travel to NE, trip to SC to close on our house....is your head spinning too?
So, I decided to take a break from Facebook for about 30 days because it sucks up so much of my time and leaves me feeling like I don't have enough time to get the necessary things done around the house. Boxes sit unpacked, pictures sit around the edges of the rooms waiting to be hung, home schooling curriculum to decide on for I and L. Plus, we have a community and farm to explore!
On Friday, day 1, I accomplished more than expected, some of which were:
*All T, L, and my laundry got done
*Master bedroom and bath completely unpacked and organized
*The beginning of my email clean up....11,646 emails=major clean out
*The mandatory two trips to visit the barn cats and horses to get in our daily animal endorphins
Saturday, day 2
*I scrubbed the hall and kitchen floor by hand...yes, it was that bad, in fact, it needs a round two, but that will have to wait awhile
*Grocery shopping
*Farm and Fleet Store shopping
*Mixed a safe solution of vinegar, water, salt, and Dawn dish soap to kill the weeds that are growing like crazy
*Quicken downloaded and all accounts imported and reconciled
*The mandatory two trips to visit the barn cats and horses to get in our daily animal endorphins
*I actually got to start reading a book...Wheat Bellies!
Sunday, day 3
*Visited a new church *yawn*, the 2nd one since we've moved here, we'll be checking out a new one next Sunday. A co-worker of T's invited us to another church and it is the same one that the family who boarders their horses on the property attends
*Sprayed half the weeds in the walkway to the house
*A return trip to the grocery store to pick up a few forgotten items for T's lunches for the week
*A nap! :)
*Email clean up, day 3
*The mandatory two trips to visit the barn cats and horses to get in our daily animal endorphins
Tomorrow is a new day and brings another long to-do-list of stuffing needing to get done.....I guess it never ends.
