Labor Day. Enjoying my “day off”.

I can not remember a time when I got out of bed later than 9:30am. Refreshing?  Possibly. I mean, I had to get up and let the dog out so he didn’t pee on my floor. (He does that.) But then I went back to bed (5:30am) because it was just too darn early to be up! We had a cook out yesterday with lots of people. Cooking. Eating. Talking. Laughing. It was good, but tiring. Most everything was also cleaned up before I went to bed so there was little to do this morning. I drank coffee and had a piece of cake. I also color-coordinated my calendar with soccer games and gymnastics meets. I’m all ready for the busy fall season.

Today is a “free day” so I plan to write. (Names needs to be completed!!) I also have homework for my English class due Wednesday.

For the last couple years I have not been a fan of kids going back to school before Labor Day. WAY TO EARLY if you ask me. But, now that I am in school too, and the school for them is getting harder, I think it is a good idea. This way they can ease into it. After this first week, we were ALL exhausted! And then with a birthday party yesterday (not for me), we NEEDED today off! It is 10:30 and we are all up now, but the house was very quiet for a long time. Normal Monday mornings are hectic. Kids up, all trying to get ready to catch the bus or whatever. Me running out the door at 8:45am now that I am a college student. (haha) We are scheduled into a busy season of life.

As I said in the last blog, I used to complain about it, but realized that this is what lots of people do. At least in this area. Maryland, as well as the DC Metro Area, is a very busy place. Not laid back much at all. Maybe in Texas, but not here. So if I choose to live here, this is the life I lead. Crazy busy. So I need to deal.

I think this year I have come to terms with that and I see the need to be organized and scheduled for the first time ever. I was never good at schedules before. I’m a wing-it kind of gal. Not now. Necessity has produced change. I can relax and blow off time when I am caught up on the necessary things. What are they? Laundry, cooking, homework, driving to scheduled events, and yes, the most important, WRITING!!!! I am trying to write everyday possible. I’ve written something at least 4 days a week for the last month. I’d like to see that increase to 5-6 days a week. Word count? IDK. I shoot for 1500-2000 words a day, but sometimes that is hard to attain. But I am confident it will happen.

I am also determined to get my “hoarding” under control and clean out my house!!! HUGE GOAL there!
