Wednesdays

Hi

You are all soooo great. Can you feel my hugs. I hope so. A special little kiss on your cheek Kathy R for the beautiful prayer.

It's still a struggle. Today I actually spent about 6 hours working constantly on a serious problem with exchange students. The enemy must know I'm serious because I feel it coming at me from every direction.

I appreciate your advice Jane. That is sooo true. That is exactly what I'm going to do. Just keep it simple for the whole week. I know that will make a big difference.

Kathy B (I NEED HELP) YES YOU CAN CALL SCHOOLS LIKE YESTERDAY. I have emealz and I agree that is a needed thing to keep everything running smoothe without last minute choices.

Quiet Time First (Got It)

Tired and Overwhelmed

I really think I need to write some of this down. I'm really struggling with eating right now and I don't want to be struggling with eating : ( I find this really interesting because it really is a stress thing. It's like "HELLO" don't you get it. You have way too much on your plate and you need to balance a few things out and not just grab food that's available. I see clearly what has happened in the past.

Cycle
I have a spare moment thus I need to be doing something worthwhile. Help others, serve, give, encourage, clean, work, make money. What I notice is that I'm not on that list. Hmmmmm I'm actually wondering if I realize that I'm worthwhile. I actually think that I thought by denying myself others would pick up on this and rescue me or something. I'm not exactly sure of all the personality psycho babble involved but something is going on. I was doing a GREAT job of taking care of myself but right now I'm REALLY tired. The past four weeks have been disconnected for me. I don't like it.

Things I must do:
Have Quiet Time
School the kids
Co-op
Work
Spend Time With Scott
Work at creating a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family
My FRIENDS (I need em)

Everything else needs to stop for a bit so I can get these things running smoothly. If they fall outside of this priority list then I need to be AWARE that my energy is being taken from me and I don't have any to give.

I'm really having a tough time planning meals and shopping right now. I've got to get that schedule figured out.

Pray for me ladies. I need ya now! The goal for this week is to track every day. Plan my meals, Have my quiet time. I'm going to post a little something daily just to let you all know how it's going. Thanks for holding up my arms in the battle. They are very weary.

Love to you all

Yes I'm Alive

Hi Girls

I am alive just VERY VERY busy. I went to WW last night and it was of course a very good meeting. I had a .8 gain which was not great but okay considering the week I'm in. I need those meetings. I'm struggling with getting it all done right now.

God,School, Work, Coop, Church, Sports, Exercise, Family, Did I say School?

A little overwhelmed with the house torn apart for painting yet eating correctly.

Thanks for the heads up and support
