I need more hours in each day.
Since going back to work, I've been a very busy lady. It seems like I'm always rushing myself to get more into each day and trying to stretch each day out as much as I can. Housework, spending quality time with my son and Danny, and trying to work in time to crochet. I used to have an easy time squeezing it all in. These days, not so much.
Ten Things: That are being neglected because I don't have enough time-
1. Laundry. We always seem to have clean clothes and we never have to scramble something to wear, but that's not really saying much. I do a load or two every single day, but it usually ends up on my kitchen table where it stays for moist of the week until I get to my days off.
2. My kitchen. I don't keep it clean. Much of at all. Danny has been the one to clean it for the past few weeks. I just can't find the motivation. This includes not washing the dishes on a daily basis, as well as it being generally cluttered.
3. Crochet/crafts. I've been forcing myself to take at least half an hour a day out to do some crocheting and I'm starting to make some really nice progress on my newest project, my blue ripple afghan.
4. I'm honestly not taking good care of myself. I haven't been eating much, and what I do eat is in large quanities and is very unhealthy. I generally only eat one meal a day, and it's a large one. I should be eating several small meals or snacks throughout the day. This does not happen at this time though.
5. Friendships. Ellie is basically the only person I talk to outside of work, and that's just because she calls me almost every day. I never call anyone though. Sometimes I manage facebook interactions. I'll take that for now, I suppose.
6. Working out. I've gained something like 14 pounds in the last two months, which really upsets me condsidering I had lost sooo much weight after I had Evan and I was doing really great at losing weight and keeping it off. Not anymore though.
7. I haven't caught up on any of the blogs that I used to read. I'm sooo behind, I'll never catch up.
8. Honestly, I feel like my marriage is suffering slightly in some ways. I don't devote time to my husband each day like I once did. We talk, sure. We spend time together, sure. We just don't have time lately to be the way we used to be.
9. I haven't had time to watch a movie or watch a whole tv show since I've went back to work.
10. I have not even opened a single book since I went back to work. Reading doesn't happen for me anymore.
I'm so busy, but honestly I'm really happy. I feel like I'm still doing a really good job at being the best momma that I can be to Evan, I'm just still having a hard time working everything else out. Danny is so awesome. He's truly super Dad and super Husband. He does so much for Evan and I. I am so thankful to have him in my life. I love that man, I do. I do.
Derrick, my little brother who recently moved away for college, came home last weekend and was around a lot. I really enjoyed that.
I'm really hoping that the Cardinals win the World Series. They're my favorite time, yaknow.
It's almost midnight and I'm pretty stinking tired. I plan on finishing up some dishes and then going to bed.
Goodnight LJ. I hope to have more time for you in the future. Along with my other Ten Things.
