Restoring my soul.

Way back in January I promised to blog more, be kinder to everyone, think before I speak etc, well let’s see here we are in May and have I managed to achieve any of these promises?  Well to put it mildly… NO!

I don’t blog or diarise weekly (hardly even monthly at this stage), I have tried to be lest judgemental, however this seems to be harder than securing World peace, to do.  I still yell at the kids from the other room and get mad at them when they do not do what I have asked and asked and asked and asked them to do.

My world is busy, I am busy, I am also losing control, the time seems to slip through my fingers like sands through a sieve.  I make time for friends and when it’s over I notice the dishes not done, the washing piles in the laundry, dinner not cooked…again…the kids have “forgotten” to shower this week.  A husband? I have a husband? Really?  Oh yes that’s who that lump in bed next to me is, I remember him, now.  Thanks for pointing him out to me.

So when is it exactly I am supposed to blog? One must sleep after all and shower and toilette.  I also must read and read and write and write for Uni, and still I fall behind and scramble to catch up.

Facebook, Twitter, News24/7, are all distractions from the things I am supposed to be doing.  I want it all, but know I cannot have it all at once.  If I desire a sparkling clean house with the smell of daisies and not dirty socks then I will have to swallow some pride and ask or pay for help.  If I want to do well at Uni than I must sacrifice something else for it, the hubby and kids are not to be sacrificed.

It is apparent to me that I need a better schedule, a better way to organise my time and activities.  I am not yet sure how this will be accomplished, it is something I will continue to work on, however if you have any suggestions for a slightly crazed, busy mum please have at it.
