Life is Messy

"Real life is only ever just real life. Messy. What it means depends on how you look at it. The only thing you've got to do is find a way to live there." Patrick Ness

Lots of things have been shoved on the back burner lately. I'm running out of space back there!! It is all piling up almost as bad as all the dishes that are towering in & around my sink.

Or the laundry that seems to be EVERYWHERE around our house...feeling like an avalanche is going to bury us all at any moment.

The electric bill that is overdue & the prescription payment that needs made, but I just don't have the patience to wait on my dinosaur of a laptop to do what it needs to do so I can do what I need to do.

The dogs who are long overdue for their "spa day".

The Christmas presents I need to finish buying, wrap, & get under the tree.

The housework that needs done.

The schoolwork we haven't been doing.

The blog posts I've been meaning to write.

The homeschool group I haven't posted on in the longest time.

The list can go on & on & on...

It's all just looming over me. Reminding me daily that they ALL need my attention & focus, but I feel like I just don't have it to give. There is so much...I don't even know where to start.

And...we all know how hard that first step can be sometimes.

{ { DEEP SIGH } }

But, today is the day...I'm have begrudgingly decided. It's going to be a struggle...BUUUUT....

I will hop online, no matter how long it takes & make those payments so I don't have to worry about them...until next paycheck.

I will work thru the dread of having to get on the phone & make an appointment for my dogs to get their spa day! They need it & deserve it very much, so I will push thru my own hold-ups for THEM!

I will write THIS blog post.

I will start a load of laundry.

I will do a load of dishes.

I will eat lunch.

I will watch one of my favorite YouTubers while I eat said lunch.

I will clean my bathroom...it is the room I hate to clean THE most, but it is also the SMALLEST room in the house. We had some issues with our pipes last night, and a toilet that was being quite stubborn...so not only is this something that already needed done, but NOW it is a MUST DO!! Deep sigh.

I will listen to my favorite tunes while I am in the trenches!! {Wish me luck...If I do not back it back, know that I do love & appreciate you ALL!! }

I will have coffee with my Husband.

I will make dinner for my family.

Then I will pretty much call it a day.

Even if the laundry didn't make it much farther than just running thru the washer, I'm calling today a success. My hope is that I will have it in me tomorrow to try again...to make a difference, again....to be somewhat productive, again...to keep moving forward, again. Sending Love & Light to YOU!!!
