I am having a hard time finding balance right now. I need to get things done for Sunday - and things always seem to be going on with scrapbooking whether it's tradeshows, meetings, workshops, personal projects and gifts. Something is always going on, and I like it that way. It gives me something to focus on other than children, money, laundry, toilets, and play dates. I love that stuff (ok maybe not toilets) but it's important to me. It's all important. Then, there's my weight. I need to lose weight. About 100lbs. (105 to be exact) I need to make time for me and make wise use of it.
See what I mean? Balance. Of course, family comes first. But I need to make myself and my own health a priority too. I just made some displays for my trade show and found myself hot and uncomfortable from sitting in weird positions so long trying to assemble display cubes.
My next task tonight is to go downstairs and get some more things put together for Sunday. I'm dreading going downstairs and seeing the big mess of toys the kids have made. I'm dreading even more of going into the spare room to find the mess I created myself. I consider myself a fairly organized person, but the past few months seem to have flown by with event after event (both personally and professionally) - but lately I seem to have lost it. Again, priorities. Is the spare room a priority? No. Not unless someone's coming for a weekend! But the way I've 'let it go' has affected me in more ways than one.
So I should stop talking about it and boring you with the details but I wanted to share them anyway. I'm just going to do the usual and focus on what needs focussing right now. The rest will come later.
Basement, here I come! (Eeek!)
