Do you ever feel like life's just getting away from you? That there's so many things that you should be doing but you don't have the time or energy to do them?
I've been feeling a bit like this for weeks. Sure, the things that have to get done DO get done but other things just get put on the back-burner for me to forget about until I can no longer ignore them or they just go away. Well, a month ago I got a reminder which I could no longer ignore. My lovely dentist (and I say that totally without sarcasm because I really like her) sent me a damning note. I hadn't stepped into her surgery for over 2 years!! I was stricken with dental guilt. Because dental hygiene is next to godliness. (Well, it is a form of cleanliness)
So I made an appointment and yesterday I got a clean bill of health and a really clean set of gnashers.
But I wasn't finished there. Luke had managed to NOT hand in his band vest when he left high school and I've been living with HIS referred guilt. Plus he was awarded the perpetual percussion prize (say that ten times quickly) which needed to be returned so I bundled him into the car and we got that chore done too.
Then we went to the shops and did a little clothes shopping for him - not an easy task when you're 6'3" and skinny - paid my tax and had a catch up over coffee. When I started work at midday I felt so righteous and pretty caught up. It's almost as cathartic as cleaning out my wardrobe.
So still riding high on yesterday's efforts I finally made an appointment to see the optometrist. And then I'll have caught up on everything. It feels so good.
Yes! Can totally relate to this - everytime we have visitors I clean up by putting all those pressing documents/items in a cupboard and then afterwards I forget to take them out again and get them done! I need some of your motivation - can you send some over please???
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and the kind comments. I do feel blessed to have such a supportive family. It works both ways. Renee - The boys want to date her but afraid of big wrestling/football brother ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love getting things done and crossing them off the list. The worst part is getting all the appts. made.
ReplyDeleteMy son is 6 3 now and not a big guy so yeah, finding clothes can be tricky. Esp. pants.
ReplyDeleteI can be really bad with those type of things and usually needs some wake up call to get myself into gear. I must agree it feels super to catch up.
ReplyDeleteIt feels so good to get things done! I definitely get overwhelmed when I start letting things pile up!
ReplyDeleteWould you come over to my house and help me get some of that energy to check things off done? I have so many little things on my to-do list and feel overwhelmed when I look at it. So I just shove it under some papers so I don't have to see it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job girl! Love that you have some new, pearly white chompers now too!
ahhh, I can relate to this!! Feels so good to get caught up. I'm so behind on so many things. I know that catching up on blogs should be the last on my list right now but I feel so guilty for how many people I have not responded to. But we did clean out our bedroom the other day and it felt soooo great!
ReplyDeleteBeing caught up is the bomb...not that I'd know anything about that. I think I have a masters degree in procrastination.
ReplyDeleteI have a master degree in procrastination to; this means that after I have to do many things all together.
ReplyDeleteNow we would like to see your "new" smile!
I have to cross a lot of things off the list :)
ReplyDeleteHave nice weekend!
