Slippage

Whew, this month is kicking my behind. Or at least this week is. So much stuff to attend and cover, so much school stuff – all-day field trip Monday, two health committee meetings today. Business-building phone calls and interviews… Trying to build a team…

I am waking early and exercising and writing. But I’m also eating chocolate and getting a little short-tempered. I missed two author readings tonight and a virtual networking meeting. But I got the kids to bed by 8:00 and got most of the dishes in the dishwasher before I cracked open the laptop.

Something has to give! Really, I think it should be my husband, giving me the gift of taking my kids on an overnight excursion. That would make a huge difference.

But in the absence of that, I will drink some tea, get off the computer, give myself a warm oil massage and get in bed by 10 so that I can get up at 5:00 and try to enjoy the quiet in the house and cultivate some in my heart!
