I hate those days where I feel like I've been going all day, but there's nothing to show for it. Conversely, I love the days where it seems like I'm done with most of my chores before lunch. What's the difference? I honestly have no idea.
Lately my time has been spent doing the following:
-Finishing up a continuing ed class for my dietetics credentials. I enjoyed the class, but I'm forever worried that if I ever had to work, I'd still be at a disadvantage because I haven't worked in the field... EVER. Oh, well. At least I'm doing what I know is right for me and hopefully if anything does happen, Heavenly Father will help with the rest.
- Making Christmas gifts. I'm having so much fun learning new things with these projects. I feel bad for my poor nephews. I went a little crazy with the girly things so they will probably feel a little shorted. What can I say? I have no girl of my own to do cutsey things for.
- Cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning. It never ends.
- Trying to wear Eli out as often as I can so he'll go to sleep for naps. While he has been better at going down for naps, it hasn't curbed his tantrums. Things that I get everyday when it's time to go inside from our activities... Sigh.
- brushing up on my excel skills so I could put one of our two budget trackers on the computer. Our poor budget book was getting pretty battered and it was a real ego buster when I realized I had subtracted numbers wrong and threw off the budget. Did I learn anything in school? (okay, I know anyone can make this mistake, but it's still not fun to realize.)
With all this going on (I know it might not seem like a lot) I often feel like I need to do more. More in teaching Eli things like his ABC's or numbers, counting, etc. Writing in my journal more. Doing even more things for dietetics. Where do I fit all that in?
Anyway, while I might often wish I had more time, I am grateful for the time I have. I know that Heavenly Father has given us enough time in the day. So I guess now it's my job to fill it with the most worth while activities.
...and We're Back!

Yay for getting so much CE done!
I know what you mean about getting things done. I need to waste less time and do more structured things with Benny, too.
And I'm just impressed you have a budget tracker! Maybe you need to give me some tips. We have no budget whatsoever and REALLY need one:(
You are an amazing woman, but perhaps a little hard on yourself. I think you rock!
I feel the same way! I know I don't do as much as I should. But most things cost money, which I don't have. I am so excited to see you at Christmas! Only a few more weeks!!!
I count a blog as a journal entry half the time. Eli totally doesn't need to know his abs or numbers yet. Svea can barely say 5 words so don't get panicked. And the cleaning, sigh, yes it does continue forever. As does the laundry. lol
I hope all goes well
Love ya Megan
(p.s I updated our blog)
