- A grumpy child replaced my happy girl and two hours were wasted fighting to get some basic tasks completed.
- Then time was spent dealing with financial aid. (I need an assistant to handle the business of me going to school so I can just go to school.)
- After that it was time for lunch.
When I finally sat down to tackle my list, I began to wonder what the point was to working at all. After all, how would I even be able to focus on my materials in the afternoon? Another point that negative voice made was that half my day was already gone. (I found this point difficult to argue against.) It suggested I should just write off the other half and try again tomorrow.
That negative voice will be my downfall. I need to somehow replace it with a voice that instead says "half a day's work is better than none!" Or "let's buckle down and get some items checked off on our list!" And I need that voice to be enthusiastic and mean it.
Can I buy that more optimistic voice with some of my financial aid because if I don't get that soon, this is going to be a rough 15 months.

I am SO with you! My thoughts exactly this morning. Oy vey Maria, it's gonna be a long summer. The good news is, I'm giving you The Kreativ Blogger Award. You probably already got this a bunch of times, but I can't help it. I love your blog! Come and get it!
ReplyDeleteI am such a horrible procrastinator. Anything to be able to do my stuff tomorrow!
DeleteThanks for the award!
Life always gets in the way of getting things done. Which is ironic since you are trying to get things done so that you can have a life. Life is also a jerk.
ReplyDelete"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
DeleteAnd yes, life is a TOTAL jerk!
Ack! Exactly! I feel like trying to cross stuff off my list in the bane of my existence. If life wouldn't just keep getting in the way of getting stuff done...here's hoping for a productive summer for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meredith. My summer will be as productive as it can be with 3 summer classes crammed into it. :-)
DeleteNothing is more overwhelming than a to do list. You got this! Beast that list!
ReplyDeleteI will kick that to do list's butt! The next time I have a to do list, that is.
DeleteHang in there! If you need a boost, just put an exercise DVD in. DON'T exercise! Just listen to the perky voice urge, "You can do it! Keep going! Don't forget to breathe!" until you either get stuff done or go insane.
ReplyDeleteAt least with school I don't turn bright pink like I do when I exercise. When exercising everyone tells me "Don't forget to breathe" because they are all terrified I am going to die of a heart attack.
