Too Many Projects?

Welcome back!

Can you have too many projects?  It is something I should probably think about have thought about BEFORE I started what has become my many projects these days.  I thrive on “projects” ask my friends and family who would say, “you wouldn’t be Alyssa without a project”.  Projects truly do keep me going.  Every morning I pray for my projects and I pray for God’s guidance so that I can focus on what he would have me to focus on, and that he’d help me to prioritize.  It works.

So, are you curious about what the many projects I currently have going on are?  Well, here’s a run down.  My current projects include:

FaithLeaps.com - Developing the materials for the membership site which will officially launch on Thursday of this week.  Find details about that over at my ministry blog.

Vacation Bible School -  I am the director of the VBS at my church this year. I know summer is months away but I like to get started early, back when this was part of my job as Youth & Children’s director I always started in January.  So far I have chosen a curriculum, met w/ my co-director and made a list of possible workers, I’ve also confirmed positions with a few workers already.  VBS is set for June 15-19.

Taking Seminary classes online. – This is another project, and will be ongoing for the rest of this year.  This is the hardest thing for me to make time for because it requires me to focus and not get interrupted which is difficult w/ three small children.

Planning my 10 Year HS Reunion. – This is my newest project and one I am excited about.  10 years has flown by, I loved HS, I had great friendships and I am ready to “reconnect” with those I haven’t seen in a long time.  Even just catching up via Facebook and a couple phone calls has been fun!  The reunion is set for Sat. June 27.

In addition to these “projects” I have 5 clients that I write for weekly.  I have a good schedule worked out for them though so I get all “client work” done Monday – Wednesday.

What about you are you a “project” person? Do you think you can have too many projects?  I’d love to know your thoughts.

A Day Off

Well, with all I have on my plate I might not should have, but I took the day off.  The kids and I headed to my moms pretty early this morning, spent the day with her and my grandmother and great aunt.  Then, I finally broke down and went to another hairdresser to get my hair cut because my hairdresser and dear friend just had a precious baby girl and won’t be back to work until June 23.  That is the Monday AFTER I return home from She Speaks. I just couldn’t go to the conference with my hair out of shape.  I luckily love the haircut, I am VERY pleased and thankful I went ahead.

Now, I’m cooking a homecooked meal for my family. Something I haven’t done enough of lately.  I know I’m preggo but my family needs their veggies and I have been horrible about throwing a couple of carbs together lately.  I think I’m craving some good veggies so tonight it’s Italian-Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Broccoli and Cheese Rice and Butter beans. Yum!! It’s already smelling good!

Tonight my son has one of his last tee ball games. It’s been a good season though the schedule was wacko and we had a lot of rain outs. Tonight is actually a make up game.  I’ll be back to business tomorrow! Sigh!! I have to if I am going to meet my goal of doing all my client work by June 15.

June Goals

It was so much fun setting and achieving my goals last month that I thought I’d do it again. June is going to be an exciting month for me anyway with the She Speaks Conference. My goals list is very doable this month I think. I hope you’ll root me on.
