Well, it's obvious that blogging every day did NOT happen this week. I think part of it had to do with too much "down time" playing Candy Crush Saga. Shh! Don't tell! I think the other part of it was just that there are simply not enough hours in a day.
It was delusional, really. I mean, for what I think I want to accomplish, I either need about 5 more hours in the day, or I need to seriously schedule, plan, and prioritize. Or how about three p's? Prepare, plan, prioritize. For some reason, the alliteration helps people remember. So what are the things I'd like to accomplish? What are the things I need to accomplish? And how can I reasonably get it all done? Bonus points for getting a nap in there too!
Looking over my p's, I think the correct order should be 1) Prioritize; 2) Plan; 3) Prepare. If it's a priority, I will find time for it. (Note to self: Candy Crush is NOT a priority! Feeding my family a good, nutritious meal IS a priority.) So after this week, I think I've learned some things, and I will be better prepared for next week.

Back in the world of blogging?
I've started and stopped a blog so many times. Actually, I don't really ever get off the ground, but I do have some good ideas. So I'm just going to try just having an online journal as my first goal. No rhyme or reason really. Just following what's going on in my life.
So here it is. Today was my first day going back to part-time work. I really wanted to be back home with my kiddos. I know, I know. They're still in school for another few weeks. I get it. But I figured I'd use this time to get caught up with some housework that had been tossed aside for a while. For my first afternoon home, time went way too fast! I mean, I did get some stuff done, but it wasn't like I thought it would be. I think I just need to be patient with myself and allow myself some time to get back in the swing of things.
My latest undertaking is tae kwon do. I love it! James started taking it last fall in his after school program. I started taking it as part of a six month trial. Two months into it and I'm already an orange belt! My goal here is definitely to become a black belt. I'd like James to have the opportunity to become a black belt too. Cate will be joining us for the summer. I'm not sure that she'll actually continue beyond that, but at least she's giving it a shot. We just need John to join us, and we'll be a family of ninjas!
So this is it for today. I just wanted to make sure I posted something to get in the habit of posting daily. As time goes, I'll be a little more purposeful in my posting. For now I just want to have something posted.
