blog your heart

I came across this blog entry today and thought I should join in.

I'm not always great at blogging exactly how I feel...and often just write about whats happening right in the moment on the surface.  I guess it's just easier to do that sometimes...rather than really focus on how you feel and what's really going on.

But today I'll just share a few things that I've been stressing over lately....

First thing...the cleaning.  I just can't seem to keep up lately.  My house is such a mess (I'm looking around as I'm typing this in the living room and all I see is a huge disaster.  haha!).  There's almost no point trying to tidy up during the day since the kids seem to follow right behind me like a tornado undoing anything I've just done.  I'm ready to dejunk for the millionth time this year...although I do think it's a good time to go through toys again since Christmas is only a couple of months away...hmmm...write that down on the "to do" list.

Second...I've been feeling lately like I've put all my hobbies and interests on the back burner.  The little people around here come first which means I have spent a total of zero hours creating anything.  Yes, there is a time and season for everything and right now just isn't me time.  I'm completely okay with that, but I'm thinking I need to check my priorities and squeeze in a bit of time where I'm just doing some mindless creating to help balance this life of mine.  I itch to create....and I've just been missing all the nights I used to stay up and scrapbook.

And lastly...this isn't a complaint, but something I'm striving to do is exercise.  I've always said I was going to try and do something...even made it a goal this year... uh that didn't seem to happen.  I'm proud of myself though cause I actually went jogging last night!!  I meet a group of ladies at the church and we headed out on a jog.  I wasn't exactly sure how it would go since I only jog about once every couple of months, but I have to say I did pretty good!  I kept up no problem!  There's definitely something to be said about exercising with someone else.  If it was just me...I wouldn't have gone.  It's too easy to find excuses.  So thank you to the ladies who invited me to join them!  It was so nice to get out and relieve some stress and enjoy the night run.  I really needed it!

And since I have a couple of hours to myself since one little boy is at school and the other is sleeping...I should probably tackle something I just talked about.  2 hours...I could have a couple of scrapbook layouts done or have the bathrooms cleaned!....

or I could just go take a nap myself ;)
