Being me

I have had the opportunity the past few days to write out my daily schedule, meal information, and contacts I regularly talk to....it's all a little strange to see on paper. I am doing it for my mother-in-law who has generously agreed to play me for 10 days while I am tanning, hiking, zip lining and making out with her son. In case I haven't told you all before, she is an amazing mother-in-law!! Pray for her while we are gone if you think of it.

Anyway, I know I am pretty busy and do a lot of driving all around KC at least 3 days of the week, but to actually see a schedule of it all is a little scary. Have you ever done this? Just sat down and wrote out what your week has been like, what you have done, where you have gone, what you have eaten, etc? Make sure to include the time line of it all. If you get some free time someday and are really bored, I recommend doing it....it puts things in perspective a little. It is a miracle that I have found time the past couple weeks for 3 projects at church and school as well as working out again. I keep telling her that she can just skip activities on my routine schedule (preschool or laundry, etc) to help her load a little, which is something that is harder for me to do since I will be here the week after. Seeing it on paper makes me want to stay home more and be a little more structured with my "free" time. I can't believe how much time I spend in the car! Let me know what your schedule teaches you!

UHHHH!! TMI.. No one wants to know that you are going to be making out with my brother-in-law!! LOL... I know you are a busy women but you are a great mom. I am kind of looking forward to a busier schedule when Abby starts school and I go back to work just to be able to experience the craziness!! You guys are going to have an awesome time and I am sure Sue will be able to handle your kiddos just fine!!!

We spend a lot of time in the car too. It got really bad last year, so we now have at least one day a week where we don't go anywhere. It's amazing how much more gets accomplished around the house now. And it's so much more fun to interact with the kids face-to-face than in the rearview mirror!
