There's so much goin' on and so much I wanna do that I just don't know where to start first!:boing: :boing: :boing:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there just isn't enough time in the day....I wish I didn't have to sleep!:boing: :boing: :boing:
It seems that I've been takin notes on everything! There's notes all over my little PC corner, little notes all in my books, post-it notes all over my brain!:T One of which said, "Git a binder and organizer all this in your BOS! So today while I was killin time -waitin to pick up the oldest from football practice - I got the stuff and can't wait to get started!:boing: :boing: :boing: But while I was at Wal-Mart I wandered over to the gardening section and "The Green Room" chats started running through my head....do I get some stuff now, or wait till I have more time....and where's the moon at now anyway?:confused: Do I have enough cash on me to get all this stuff?:confused: NO! Then I started thinking about the plans my husband and I have to visit our first Pagan shop this week-end....thanks to another post around here somewhere!:boing: :boing: :boing: And there's so much more here I wanna read about BUT WHERE TO START:wah2: This is all just too much---yard work - house - job - kids - animals - ball pracitce for the kids - ball pracitce for me - MY STARS! WILL IT EVER END?:meanface:

LOL!

There were times, especially in the very beginning, where I thought my brain would *burst* and I still wanted more. Now I seem to go in spurts, at one point I will be content and let all the knowledge sink in and I spend more time building a relationship with the Lady and Lord. Other times I am scribbling in several notebooks, ready 3-4 books at a time, just generally going nutty! Other times, I would just be so overwhelmed by all I don't know yet want to. heh.

Have fun. :)

I spend a very large part of my day online and I have 4 kids so I have developed a system that works for me. If I get up for anything I do a chore. So if I go get a glass of water I will pick up anything that needs to go in the kitchen and while there I will do the dishes or sweep the floor. When I am in the bathroom I clean around me same when I am at my desk. This way I can do what I want and still get everything done. I also find I get more done this way than if I try to do all my chores at once. When I go out I have a list of everything that I need to get and try to go to whatever is farthest away first so I am working my way back home. It works for me and I get a lot more done that way.

:) Yes Yvonne, I kinda do the same thing....ya know picking up stuff as I go through the house, etc. I don't spend near the time you do online though. I'd like to sometimes, but I can't sit still that long at home. I guess cause I sit in front of a computer all day at work. Gettin the kids to and from practice isn't as bad as it was. Two of the boys now have practice at the same time, and in the same ball park....which is great!:thumbsup: And the oldest only has one more week of spring football. (I'm so grateful that a bus runs to the county schools to pick up these kids for pracitce....by the time I go through town after work there is usually an hour before they're done....so I've been trying to do my shopping during that time.) My reading/study time is late at night and I usually do that till I can't hold my eyes open any longer.:zzz: but that irrates my husband, (who doesn't sleep sound anyway) cause I wake him up when I go to bed. He goes to bed way before the rest of us cause he has to get up so much earlier. His drive time to work (one way) is over an hour. But we love the location we live in so he's willing to make that scarfice. Generally my husband helps with the everyday stuff. He does most of the cooking and most of the laundry. Most of the time everything stays pretty well under controll....it's just sometimes my enegy level gets so high....I'm guessing from just the necessity of having to have a high energy level. I remember my parents coming to a horse show where I was showing my green stud for the first time in front of a large crowd, and the ring master, who is the owner of the property we live on, asking them, "Where's she get all her energy?" Anyway, I believe I'm now ramblin!:T so I'm gonna wake up hubby from his nap and were goin' to our first Pagan shop!:boing: :boing: :boing: It seems I've spent all day waitin on him:nyah:

There are lots of little tricks I use but I think what helps me the most is that like my two older boys I am ADHD and using that extra energy is often what lets me get through the day.

Yup, little tricks and lots of extra energy! I can't imagine gettin through the day without 'em:huh: . I've been so busy since my last post here and this is the first time I've been here since then too. My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon goin to the Pagan shop(s). Yes I said shops....I was so excited!:boing: My husband mentioned to a buddy of his our plans and that buddy told us of a closer shop than the one we planned on visitin. So we went, had a nice drive and a nice visit with one another. (It's so great when married couples can get away from the home and kids and just visit:) ) We got there and looked around, the hubby could tell I was kinda disappointed. It was a nice little (gift) shop.
Not at all what I was expecting. He suggested we go on the first shop we had planned to go to. We walked in and he said, "Now this is what I thought it'd be like!" :bug: :p :bug: :p I could hardly take it all in, but couldn't have been happier:p :bug: :p :bug: I didn't take but a limited amount of money which was a good thing:rotfl: They had stuff I had read about, but I guess I should say skimmed over, because I didn't think I would ever be able to have access to such stuff!:T
So now that I have all those notes organized in my BOS, I get to make more!:boing: I really want to get to studin on herbs....my interest level is really peaked in this area. Also my mother-in-law is starting a new job on June 3rd and I'm planning on makin a Blessin Bag for her. (It's really gonna be a Bessin Jar....as I have no bags.) I'm planning on cleansing it with the sea salt (I bought at the shop) . I'm puttin in an orange candle, incense and a stash of salt, some potpurri - I know I can't spell. I also plan on writin about 5 thoughts of the day for her, and a little spell written with green ink. If anybody has read this far....do you have any ideas about other things I can put in this jar?
