Out of Time

There never seems to be enough time. It seems like the more I try to cram into a space of time, the less time I have. School starts Monday and I don't feel like my room is ready so I am stressing over that but at the same time, I want to spend time with family. So, I made the conscious decision to not go up to the school over the weekend. Instead, I went grocery shopping, took my wonderful niece shopping, and had dinner with extended family. Did I get my house clean for the 18 people coming tomorrow? No. Did I get the preparations started for it? Yes. Did I sit down and just be with my hubby? Yes. I will hopefully pull it all together before everyone arrives tomorrow night. My house will at least be picked up. I hate that it won't be as clean as I want it but again, so much to do, so little time.
As for school, I will have to just finish it up on Monday afternoon. It will come together but just not when I wanted it to. I thought I was good at budgeting my time but lately I have been having trouble with that aspect. Hopefully I will get better now that I have a schedule starting up again. I need to get better at it or I will have trouble this year.
I read a blog recently that said, "There must be more to life that dishes and laundry...." I am here to say--There certainly is.

Under Construction

Please excuse my mess. My blog is undergoing construction at this time. I hope to have it completed and looking cute before long.

The Start of School Randomness

I have been working on setting up my room at school this past week. I have to take the boys into band camp so I figure I can get my room set up while waiting on them to finish. What I didn't take into account was that I am getting volunteered to do things. I admit that it doesn't bother me too much right now. Once the year officially starts, I am not so sure that I will be willing to be volunteered so much.
Anyway, I am slowly working my way through all the boxes and such trying to get my room in place. I have decided that I am going to go with basic colors this year for decorating. I weeded out a bunch of material that I have had for a while and not used. I also decided not to use curtains this year. I am turning a corner in my life and that means that I am cleaning out and reducing. I have pack ratted for too long.
Now I have to get my lesson plans up and going so that at least the first couple of weeks worth.
