Prioritizing Life

Have you ever had such great intentions but then realized that you just expect too much from yourself??? Well thats Me. I totally overbook myself. I tried getting organized with i-cal on my mac. I was doing great there for awhile then got to busy to add them into my calendar. LOL :) I need to get that going again. Because I can't keep track of anything without a calendar anymore. When I was younger I could keep my whole week in my head and remember it all, dates times, locations, who with and NEVER have a problem. Just goes to show I ain't young anymore. *sigh* Then I have so many interests and want to do so many different things that I just can't keep them all straight. These are all the things I'm involved in: Playgroup; so much fun, I want to hang out with these girls everyday, just not possible, as oddtodd would say suck-ay(he can be a bit crude but overall pretty funny); Scrapbooking, God only knows now long its been since I've done that, again suck-ay; Playing my flute; pfft.......no time to practice, suck-ay; Kids activities during the week, swimming and dance; I would love to co-op babysit with my friend Lisa, maybe that would help me to get my gardening done regularly; Homeschooling, I homeschool my 3.5 year old, this week we took a 3 day break. We start up again next week. Ohh gosh lesson plans......I gotta make sure I get that done; Have I mentioned I still have to clean the house, work in the garden, take care of the kids and blog. I mean its maddening. I have a homeschool conference this weekend and finding a babysitter was hell. :) We dont have family out here so figureing out what to do with the kids can get pretty creative. Well, anyway so my time is so limited its scarey. Today I watched a friend of mines kids, I had my hands full let me tell you; 3.5 3.5 2 and 13 months. Two of those were mine of course but man let me tell you they are busssssssssaaaaayyyy. :) They were a lot of fun tho, and I did enjoy it. But I can't imagine what I would do with four kids on a regular basis. I can barely get what I got done with two. Hmmm.....I need a gardener.......a housekeeper........a nanny.......a hairstylist.......and an onstaff teacher. That would do the trick :) So today I was suppose to go to capitola beach (*sigh*). I forgot I had to babysit. So I planned on going afterwards, but it took longer than I thought, and then I have to pick up my babysitter for tonight at 5 and make dinner, and this morning was swimming. I way overbooked myself today. And I'm completely bummed out that I didn't get to go to the beach. I loooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeee the beach. My husband is so-so about the beach so when I get to go I go. But its all my own fault, I overbooked myself. So hopefully Kristy (notice the "Y" chica) won't be to mad at me and will forgive me, oooh maybe I should bring her some ben & Jerry's or take her somewhere fun. I just learned about this kewl new restaurant from my friend liz called Nola. *LOL* here I go again, booking myself up again................ I will never learn.
