So I've been up since 430am because of my dog needing to go out early today (usually he is a 630-7am dog).  Now (930a) the little ba$t@rd is sleeping.  Needed to put on my artificial natural light (a little oxymoron there) or is it natural artificial light?  Hmmm....   However I did get a little work done for the PTA - big dinner in Feb. for Teachers Conference time.  I am in charge of that too so my theme is "4th of July in February".  I now have some letters to deliver to local businesses to ask for donation for our school.  Hopefully I can get a few to give us free stuff.
I do have my to-do list for this week set up to end next Friday.  There is a lot on there so I hope to get it all done by then but there are a few things that can wait if I can't do them.  I try to prioritize my lists.  I used to be excellent at doing this.  It started about 20 years ago after my first major depressive episode that included a "taking of many pills" (I'll talk about this at another time).  I was a sophomore in college living with some ladies that are my best friends today (you know who you are).  Because of the pill incident I was made to go to counseling with a psychiatrist at the university.  He was a nice guy.  Listened to me and gave me great advice.  His best advice was...MAKE A TO-DO LIST EVERY WEEK!  (also, guys are often unreliable...haha...he did say that though).  I try my best to sometimes it's just a to-do list for the day or a couple days.  In the past I have even included my son's and husband's names on it!
I do feel like I accomplish something when I check or scribble off the "do".  I prefer to use paper too and write in my own handwriting that few can decipher : ).  I could put it in my iPhone and hit delete when I'm done but I am still a paper person - have a calendar and always had appointment books.  I also prefer books to kindle or ibooks.  (No I've never tried a kindle or ibook device so I don't know how cool they are)  I just like the feel of a book in my hand.  Paper person.  I recycle though.

This is my 5th entry I think and I am liking this so far.  I do wish they had an auto correct especially for my capitalizing.  Never thought I'd wish for auto correct.  If they do have it and someone know it I hope you direct me to where to turn it ON.

I hope those reading these posts find them a tiny bit funny-- when I can do funny and helpful or insightful at the very least.  Also, I hope you don't judge.  That's not my point of being on here. Writing the personal things I am makes me very nervous.  But thank you anyways!

  1. I admire you for putting yourself out there. Its very brave and (not that it matters) but I'm proud of how you are tackling this head on and putting it out there to help othes. It takes a lot courage to do what you are doing(I have the hardest time even posting the slightest thing that would share an emotion and it took me three tries to get up the nerve just to post this comment instead of sending a private message) so if anyone has the nerve to judge your posts, like someone said on FB, they don't deserve you as a friend. Enjoy the weekend with you guys and make Marc take the dog out tomorrow and you go back to sleep :)
