Life just doesn't slow down! Basketball is in full swing for 2 of my kids, 2 of my kids are in piano and 2 of my kids are in activity days. Today I spent all morning at the school helping out.
I need to get dinner on, "Bless my heart" aka- exercise, and do a little cleaning. Sometimes, okay a lot of times, I wish the cleaning would just go away for a few days. But, alas, it never does!! The homework is another of those never-ending chores.
But to make my chores a little funner, I have a great book on cd that I'm listening to. For me, I'd rather listen to a talk or talk radio or a book than music. Does that make me weird or just unusual? I do like to listen to music but I also like to be entertained and motivated!! :)
I have to tackle small jobs each day, because big ones overwhelm me. The cleaning really is nonstop. Ugh! I hear ya.
ReplyDeleteYou're not weird for liking books on CD; my dh loves them, too, and motivational talks, too. They drive me crazy though, like someone who just keeps talking and talking and won't stop, stressing me out with background noise, until I want to scream, "SHUT UP!!!!" So music is definitely better for me, lol.
I get the most done listening to Clark Howard online or his podcasts.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but I'm actually relieved that my Kyle can't play baseball this spring (due to a strained hamstring) because it'll make life soooo much easier.
I've also learned to say no to things that I don't love... and to prioritize my commitments. I go to the Y every morning, and won't commit to anything else in the morning, unless it's a one-time event like a field trip, etc.
When I am cleaning I usally have a talk show on. Not talk shows like Montel hee hee...AZ morning talk shows. I don't sit, and watch them, just listen. They always have new ideas, recipes, etc I too, wish cleaning would go away for a few days...or maybe longer! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was disciplined like that I normally have to jam to some tunes to keep me going!
