Today's Plan
Clean up my office. A impossible task it seems, somehow my office became the dumping ground for things that need to be out of site. I have a huge desk with papers on it and my kids laundry in a basket on the floor. I am trying desperately to find some time to exercise. That is the hardest thing to fit into my day. Unless I get up at 6, which I just can't seem to do. Oh well, we'll try again tomorrow.

On Life & Being Busy
To say I'm busy is a understatement. Part of this is my fault, I understand. I have a lot I want to accomplish. I have a restaurant with my husband, I also have a part time jewelry business and I am attempting to maintain some kind of order in the household (often, a losing battle).
The kids are quite involved in extra curricular activities. I struggle with this. I don't want them to be too scheduled. However, if they're interested in something I want them to have the tools to be the best they can be, so they will have confidence about these activities. I was never really good at sports or dance or any of those things. I was also shy, as is my daughter. So I'd like her to have more confidence than I did. So Samantha is currently doing soccer, music, voice and dance. It sounds worse than it is. Soccer is almost over and the other things just started. Music and voice are each every other week. And dance is weekly. She asked to do all of these things. She loves them, I ask her often, did you have fun? Do you want to keep doing this? It's a fine line between wanting her to stick with something and not being a "quitter" but also not wanting her to be too scheduled. Then we add into it the fact that I am running around like a crazy person to all these things.
Ella is only doing dance and soccer, soon she will just have dance. It's fun for her and she likes watching her sister doing the other things and can't wait until she can do it too.
I also have other things I want to do besides driving my kids to activities. I want to grow my businesses, work on the catering company and eventually have a more casual restaurant as well. I also want time to exercise, read and have time to myself.
How in the world do I have time for all this? Well, I haven't quite figured it out yet. I think being organized it one way, which I'm working on. And maybe have a very strict schedule that I stick to with when I do what. And I should probably get up earlier. My goal is to be up at 6 and run from 6 to 6:30. Then start my day. We'll see. It hasn't happened yet.
So, basically what I'm saying is I don't have time for this blog. But I'm going to do it anyway. Because I like it. : )
