So, I got myself this nice little organizer because I knew I needed something. If you could only have a peek into my stream of consciousness you would become dizzy I am sure. I feel like I have so many moving parts and I need a pause button to sort them all out. This little organizer is very handy. Weekly, I am able to write down all of the things I need to do, it has a section to write down dinner menus, and also has a section where I can put my kids' schedules as well as my husband's. Perfect. Now all I have to do is remember to write in it and, more importantly, remember to LOOK AT IT!!!
It is one thing to keep track of our schedule, it is another task to try to keep track of all of my interests! This is why I need another Me. Me 2.0 could be quite handy. My personality is such that when I want to learn more about something, I want to grab everything I can on the subject and devour it. For example, when I stumbled upon Real Food: What to eat and why back in June I enrolled in two ecourses about Real Food, I grabbed a book about Milk, bought Nourishing Traditions, and couldn't read fast enough. The same thing is true about Photoshop. I finally installed the program and now I am at the computer every chance I get watching online tutorials trying to learn how to use it and make my photos awesome.
Unfortunately, my interests tend to interfere with life. Realistically I can't sit and watch Photoshop tutorials all day long. The kids wouldn't get fed, I wouldn't get fed, Thanksgiving pies won't get made, you know - important stuff. This is why I need Me 2.0. She can take care of making lunches and driving kids to school, and I can feed my creative side and play with the kids, and cuddle the baby, read my book, and work on some sewing projects. I do feel like my jobs as Mom Taxi and Personal Chef take up most of my day.
I know that this stage of my life isn't forever. Soon they will be making their own lunches and driving themselves to school. I just need to find a better balance right now. I know there is one out there. Perhaps I should start with looking at my organizer every day and not sweat the small stuff. That shouldn't be too hard, right?
