Last week was great. The house was chaotic. The schedules were loose at best. I didn't make it to the gym one single day. I filled my head with lots of fun techie dreams with little respect for reality. Bean's birthday was celebrated multiple times with great enthusiasm and a touch of whimsy. Inchie started WALKING. The week was honestly a stellar success.
And if I hear myself say "Wow. It's really been a busy couple of weeks" one more time, I may stop speaking entirely. I'm beginning to feel like the Mom who NEVER has enough time and EVERYONE knows she never has enough time because she TELLS everyone she never has enough time. First step to stop annoying myself? Stop ACTING surprised that I'm busy. It's not like this is a new thing. The time has come to adjust and move on.
So how do I move on? My approach has always been to do a little introspection (navel gazing if you will) and pick a few priorities. Using those priorities I take a big black satisfying sharpie to my To Do lists and make some serious readjustments. This week is one of those readjustment times whether I have TIME for it or not!

Do you ever feel maladjusted to your everyday life? What do you do about it?
