It's only 10 days into the new year, and already it seems like our calendar is filling up to capacity! Between Special Olympics basketball and Rachel's ballet class, our Saturdays are pretty much booked up until the end of April. Add in Gems and Care Circle every other week, and it's no wonder that I'm feeling tired. At least all of those things are good ways to spend our time!
I made two New Year's resolutions last week, and so far so good. First, I'm going to read my Bible every day, or at least do my best to. You'd think after 35 years that this wouldn't be an issue, but it is. Secondly, I'm going to be more organized, so I don't feel so overwhelmed and out of control. I'm planning out meals for the month so that I have a plan for dinner before it's time to start preparing it. I'm making myself a housework schedule so that I can keep on top of it. Now, if the weather would cooperate, we'd be all set. For the past week, I haven't gone to bed before about 2 a.m. because the pain in my feet has been so intense. So, after I get Rachel on the bus, I usually end up sleeping and my housework plan doesn't go exactly as I planned.
All of my siblings are coming over on Saturday and I'm excited about it. Christy and Paris are the only ones who have seen our new place. Hopefully the Calvin-Hope game will be done before they get here. If not, I'll be a lousy host till it's over!
