a bit off

This week has been a bit off for me. Nothing seems to be going as planned, but it all seems to work itself out somehow. I sort of feel like I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off... I'm all over the place getting a tiny bit done here, a tiny bit done there, but no significant progress on any one thing. I don't like when life gets this way. I feel so drained and useless. My 3 yr old actually faked crying to get my attention yesterday. I wasn't even 10 minutes into designing a logo when he pulled this little dramatic act. I guess he thought ten minutes was too long for me to be away from him.

I keep wanting to get a workout in... to get SOME kind of exercise in... All I've managed is way more walking than my normal day consists of, but not enough to make me feel like I've actually accomplished something. I still, somehow, have managed to drop a couple pounds anyway though. Today feels like it may be slowing down for just a minute. I feel like I have a to do list a mile long though. There's plenty of yard work to be done, the kitchen is a little out of hand, laundry is getting behind, and I have a logo to design. That was the big stuff, there's plenty of little bits here and there that have to be done too... oh yeah, and we need groceries.

Part of my time dilemma is my own fault. I've agreed to help out a friend who really needs it. He started a new job this week, so now I am picking up his kids from school and keeping them for a couple hours every afternoon. They are really good kids, so it's really no big deal. I just have to start my afternoon stuff an hour or so earlier than usual, and can't get back to the things I normally do after I get Jordan until after dinner... which means I don't get back to it if I want to spend any time with Jason in the evenings. It's only for another month, then school will be out. Then my whole world will change again. It should free up my mornings though, because the kids will sleep in.

I'll post later the exercise I am planning to get in just a bit. I guess busy is always better than bored.
