Life is happening

While I was walking on my lunch hour on Tuesday, I was contemplating so many things on my mind and how they would make great blog fodder. Since then, life has just happened, and I can't even remember what they were so you get a boring update of what's been shaking here. It's been a pretty standard week of work, school, life with a 2 year old, and trying to remember to spend time engaging with my husband during the few hours a night we have to ourselves.

So now you know that I am trying to be good about getting in a little physical activity during my lunch hour. I walked on the track on Tuesday and then realized how much friendlier the campus rec facility has become now that the facility across campus is renovated and open again. I can actually get a machine on my lunch hour so I walked on the treadmill yesterday and had to stretch before I went to bed last night. I was really proud of myself for doing it, but disappointed in how far I had let myself go.

Work is getting out of my control and that DRIVES ME CRAZY and makes me a-not-so-pleasant person to live with. I strive on stress but I also melt underneath it! I've decided to commit myself to a top 5 list daily. I did this last fall when I had so much on my plate. Now, the situation is a bit different, with the need to figure out where to start and focus each day. In the fall, I was simply overwhelmed by the shear amount of things on my plate. I'm hoping I can feel accomplishment and control by checking off the 5 things rather than concentrating on the other 50-60 that I haven't touched that day.

We're looking forward to a quiet weekend here. We had a great gathering of friends for the Super Bowl last weekend. This weekend will likely focus on homework, housework and an attempt to relax as a family.

Thank you to all of those that have been saying prayers for many of the people in my life!
