rambleocity
This morning, as I was driving home from dropping Eden off at school, I got a flat tire. Right on the bridge. Where they are doing construction work. Great. I’ve never gotten a flat tire before and even though I’m sure I could have changed it myself, I opted to call Jim instead and have him do it for me! And now we need to buy a new tire. Yay!
Right now it seems like my life is getting away from me. It seems like everywhere I go I’m late. Instead of being purposeful about anything, I’m just spinning circles just to keep up. I’m thinking the solution to any of this is to give up more sleep. And be more organized.
Sometimes I feel like there’s no point to organizing anything when I have to live my life with other people who aren’t so into the organization. But maybe it just means that I’m not organized well enough? Or maybe it means that sometimes things just don’t work in my favor. Like I had my grocery list all written up so I could shop Monday morning before work. And then Jim didn’t get paid when he was supposed to and that single event messed up my entire week. And it was such a great grocery list. There were so many good meals planned with snacks and lunches… It was even cross referenced to I could first check for organic items at the health food store before I went to the regular grocery store…. *sigh*
I don’t know… I guess I need to keep working at it. Keep trying to work on making our lives better and easier and keep being patient until it gets that way. (I’m not very good at being patient.)

That’s funny; I had a flat tire on the way to work yesterday morning – lucky I was going in an hour early to pick up trim at Wal Mart. Must be the season.

Except for the flat tire part and the name “Jim”, I could just cut and paste your post from today into my blog. Hang in there with me!

One thing I have noticed in my life is that the more sleep I give up – the less I get done. I wonder aimlessly because I am tired and have no focus. My sugestion is to go to be 3 nights a week by 9pm and get up at 5…. I know that sounds crazy, but trust me it works. I get up and the first thing I do is get the coffe going. Then I tidy up the living room throw in a load of laundry, I organize myself for the day before anyone else gets up. It really helps me to focus on feeling ‘ahead’ for the day. I also read about sleep patterns, that really helped me set a scedual for myself. :) I also get everything ready the night before for the kids for school the next day.. Cloths are out, bags and shoes are waiting and that helps them get themselves together. BUT my whole point, was that less sleep is NEVER the answer. :) good luck with this one dear, its somthing all women go through.
