“Where did this week go?”

Welcome back!

I just Twittered this question, “Why is it that some weeks are so productive and others you step back and say, “Where did this week go?” That is the question I am sitting here asking myself. “Where did this week go?” I just don’t feel I was as productive this week as the last couple of weeks. At the beginning of April I got extremely motivated to clean and organize. Not sure if it was because of my pregnancy and a form of nesting or if it was the nice Spring weather we were having, but I sure got on the ball. I made a list of Spring Cleaning Projects and began tackling them. Before this week began I had tackled all but 3 of 11 projects. I also hired an organizing coach and became so motivated i have a new project that involves organizing.

Now, this week has been an exception. It flew by, I had some appointments outside the home and my son started playing actual tee ball games so we have been out more than I have been in week’s past. I have learned one thing it’s much harder to get things done when you don’t stay home. I am going to chock this week’s lack of productivity up to doing too much running and hope for a better week this week, however I am not too optimistic because my son has 4 tee ball games this week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and we always attend church on Wednesday’s therefore it appears that we will be gone EVERY night this week to something. OY!!! Wish me luck!

Shh!! It’s A Secret

Ok, I have a confession to make.  I secretly want a clean house.  It must be my neat freak mom’s clean genes rearing their ugly head, but I have found that I secretly desire a clean house.  And, I’m getting more and more frustrated these days because it seems that the harder I try, the less I succeed.  I have had a great time cleaning and organizing with my Spring Cleaning Projects, the only issue, I keep thinking of more things I need to do.

Organizing is my favorite part of all this and the cleaning part well, it apparently comes with the territory.  But, I walk into a not so clean kitchen today and I”m frustrated.  Didn’t I just clean it up yesterday.  I know, I know it’s an everyday occurrence.  I have to deal with it.  I also have to deal with the darn laundry that NEVER seems to go away.

I’m also wondering, how do you do all this AND run a ministry and writing business from home, and raise 2.5 kids (one is still in eutero), and be involved in your church, and let your kids play tee ball 4 nights a week (yes my son has four games next week). I’m worn out!  What about you?? What’s your secret?
