I've been gone for a week at my friends cabin, so I'm afraid I may have lost all five of my readers!  Nothing got done at home while I was gone of course.  The bills didn't pay themselves, the mail didn't stop coming and the laundry piled up.  JB and the boys did clean up the kitchen and living room before Jenna and I got home which is my favorite welcome home gift.  Normally, I have a hard time organizing my day, but after a little vacation it becomes extremely hard to keep up because I haven't figured out a way to stop time or if not time itself, then at least the amount of information that is thrown into a "to do" pile while I'm not around.  Last night when I drove by my church with a full parking lot I knew I must be missing something.  I was right.  I made Jenna change her plans for this evening because I thought it was our East Ridge football family event, but that's not until next month and we won't even be in town for that, except that Johnny might have a game while we're out of town, so I don't know if he will actually get to go or if Jenna and Andy will get to go or how much school we can miss or not miss or what is happening with school because Andy is going to a new school and we don't have any school schedules yet or maybe we do and I just haven't found them yet or I deleted the e-mail or haven't gotten to it or who KNOWS how many other things there are sitting in a pile of 'stuff' for me to go through!  So, how do I function in all this mess???  I used to drink.  Ha.  That didn't really help get anything done though.  Now, I go through a priority list in my head.  What's the most important thing to me?  My family.  What do I need to do for them? I need to wash some underwear for JB.  I need to keep track of how many hours Andy is driving with me now that he has his permit! I need to remind Jenna to take the frosting and cake mix to her friend's house today so they can make their pokemon cup cakes and I need to get Johnny to East Ridge today to meet up with his football team to watch the Varsity team scrimmage.   Everything else will get done when it gets done or when I get the 'past due' envelope in the mail.  Lol.  Oh, and I have also learned to enjoy the little things like watching our dog chase a frog last night or stopping on the side of the road Wednesday to watch the baby turkey's run through the field where all we could see were their little heads bobbing and weaving through the grass behind their parents.  Those things used to seem so mundane.  I hugley underestimated the power of nature to calm my racing mind.  I've got to go now.  I have a lot to do and I don't want to miss a chance meeting with nature while staring at my computer screen.
