I just re-read my last entry and I’m not sure who I thought I was fooling. Today was insanely busy and by 7 pm I was exhausted and discouraged. I’d been legitimately busy all day long and I still had not gotten done the biggest things I’d planned for the day. Maybe I was fooling myself and maybe it worked because I got kids into bed, loaded the dishwasher and finally sorted all that dirty laundry. I also opened my planner and discovered that I’d actually remembered everything that was in it. I didn’t get it all done, but at least it was undone because I prioritized something else higher rather than because I forgot about it. Suddenly I feel much better about my day.
My life right now is busier than I want it to be. But if I can hang on, we’ll reach a tipping point where the Schlock business is too big for me to handle by myself and we’ll either hire help or partner with another business. I just need to keep going until then. and I need to remember that today was insanely busy, not all my days are quite as packed as today.
That entry made me feel exhausted on your behalf, and I’m going to remember it every time I’m starting to think about how busy I am. Because, dude. I’ve got it easy.
*snicker*
Every time I feel like I’m overwhelmed by my dolist, I just think of my friends who have dolists AND kids.
No matter how frantic and packed my day was, some Mommy had the same type of day plus juggled the needs of kids and house. And in Sandra’s case, business, too.
Mommy-hood is the trump card of busy-ness.
I’m glad that’s not an average day. You make me look positively lazy, even though my back injury gives me a legitimate excuse for not doing some things.
