Motivation came back

I now have six weeks until I start school, and only five weeks until the boys do. That's just frightening. Suddenly, summer is almost over, and I can't fit in all that I want to. I have to quickly plan things for my kids so they can say they had a fun summer. Thank goodness for Yellowstone. That may be the highlight of the summer, besides the baptisms, of course. I"m not spending my summer that way I thought I would. I'm helping Derek at the shop, which I wasn't even thinking of doing. I thought I'd be painting and cleaning out my house. That I may finally be able to start today. I thought I'd be exercising all the time, but I'm so tired, I'm hardly getting up by seven most days.

Today has been a good start. Lots of normal cleaning (including a beautiful bathtub) and a start of organizing my house. It's a good day. I'm tired. But I will get up and walk with Marilyn frightfully early tomorrow.

8 weeks left

I only have 8 weeks until I have to start school, 7 until the boys start school again. Suddenly summer seems very short, and we haven't really done anything! It's a little frustrating. Now I have to cram in all the things I want to do this summer in a very short time that is already getting full of things like baptisms and Bright Ideas. This week I have a few goals:

1- Clean out something. Hopefully my study closet or something in my kitchen. I think the toy room will have to wait until I'm more ready for it.
2- Hopefully take my children somewhere exciting this weekend (please let Derek get the time off so we can go!)
3- Fill out my financial aid paperwork for this fall. Haven't done that yet.

I also am being dragged to the track at a terribly hour of the morning by Marilyn. There will be a nap today.

Usually summer seems very long and I'm ready for the boys to go back to school but this fall I don't think I'll be ready. Can't do much about it though.
