Back to Normal... Whatever Normal Is


Yes, like most of my friends online and IRL I am feeling that urge to get back on a more normal schedule. It started well, I guess, as I awoke at 5:30 am and could not go back to sleep, so I am up planning my week/month/life.

My short ToDo list:

1. Finish organizing my office. It DOES feel good so far and I have the bug to finish.

2. Get a handle on the bills, financials, etc. Keep it regularly updated, which will be easier with my organized office.

3. Refocus my health goals See Lean But Not Mean for further info...

4. Store Christmas decorations in new containers and find room for them inside (as opposed to the attic where they would get yikcy..)

5. Review where boys are with their projects and credits. S has a schedule he wants to keep up, so work to help him achieve that goal. Think about credits he needs and pursuits they want to follow. Put on my calendar to regularly touch base and take notes.

6. Set up some specific times to do these and other things- work on home businesses, reserach resources for boys, meet with boys, help them pursue things they want to do, etc.

7. Nurture me and find time for me to be off duty to single mindedly peruse my things. Art and knitting and currently on the top of the list.

8. Balance my computer time- keep up with friends, but then get off and do other things when I am through.

9. Nurture my friendships and leave lots of margin to do so.

10. Check each decision/option and ponder if it will bring me closer to God. (quite a little check off... but I hope to try and keep it at the forefront...)

Humm.. reading that, it looks pretty normal. :) At least the dog looks happy (and organized...)

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
