Today's morning light is not brought to you by the sun rising over the hillside. Nope, today I'm basking in the modern glow of a computer screen. I've been trying to get caught up on plugging in numbers to the budget spreadsheet that we don't seem to be sticking to all that well.
Our biggest problem is eating out and convenience purchases. It's crazy really how our lives outside the house seem to be lived in complete opposition to when we're at home. Summer slows us down a little but when the girls head back to school it compounds it all again.
Two people with meetings, reports, projects and responsibility, paired with two little girls with homework, tests, physical therapy appointments, church meetings, home responsibilities, laundry, lunches and everything else involved in the day to day living of life. Basically it can be summed up in one word, rushed.
We end up grabbing lunch, grabbing afternoon snacks and sometimes dinner. We're two weeks into the school year and the spinning of our days is already wearing me thin. I've been feeling cruddy and worn out for days now. Ended up in bed by 9 one night and a little before ten the next. The extra sleep seems to have helped a little. Enough really to clarify what I think every year right about now
Something needs to give and we need to get a plan in place to organize all this craziness.
So that's where I'm at today. Pecking at another screen, plugging in numbers and setting my resolve to rise above the rush. That's about all I have time to talk about right now though. Time to go again.
