Here's to a new beginning!

Well, here we go!  On to a new year.

I spent new year's day sleeping.  I couldn't believe how tired I was.  I went to the new year's eve stake dance, as is my responsibility, and by the time I got into bed it was almost 1:00 in the morning.  People, I don't do well at 1:00 in the morning.  Terrible.  And then I got a headache.  And then I had a little tummy ache.  It just wasn't happening for me yesterday.  I kept falling asleep while I was watching the Rose Parade, while I was watching the football games, while I was watching a movie.  Just a lot of sleeping yesterday.  I feel better for it.

I feel like I haven't been in my home/head for weeks.  You know that feeling?  When you get so busy that you aren't cognizant of what is going on around you?  First, our schedule was nuts, with Christmas, drill competitions, concerts, family coming home, etc.  Then, my mother dying; it just all got to be... overwhelming?  I'm not sure that's the right word, but it seems to fit.  I know I was there when the things were happening, but afterwards, the memory just gets a little fuzzy. 

So what are your resolutions?  What do you want to have happen this year?  I don't have a plan yet.  I know I have a few things that I want/need to do, but I have to yet come up with a plan. 

This week, I feel the need to just sit.  Sit and think.  Sit and relax.  Sit and read.  Just sit. (Not literally.) (I have a lot of housework to catch up on.) (Stupid housework.) (Why can't this house just clean itself?) ;)

So I better just get to that.

Dear Susan, Sleeping sounds like one of the best medicines ever. I should be cleaning too, but I am on the computer. Hope and pray that there is less drama in your life and that January is much calmer and a time for renewal. Certainly do appreciate all you accomplish in one day and how you reach out to so many. All your goodies were so yummy. THANKS! Well, I am back to NO SUGAR. . . . .Have gone for 36 hours. Hugs! Tamara

When you find a self-cleaning house, please do share. I feel the same way that we were only home long enough to make a mess, but not to clean it. It's been kind of a whirlwind for the last several weeks.

I am taking my three paid days of bereavement leave this week. Why not, right? But we had to go grocery shopping Wednesday, had an apparel order yesterday and today I have that scrapbook to finish by tomorrow, so . . . we'll see how the house cleaning goes.

Laundy is an ISSUE! It's everywhere. I am thinking I need to GET RID of some clothes from everyone's supply. There's just too much. Agggh!!!
