I do not have the mental will right now to pull things together into a Thankful Thursday post. While I normally enjoy writing Thankful Thursdays, and I am exceedingly grateful for my life, summing things up in a list right now seems like a lot of effort, so this is probably going to read more like a Random Thoughts Tuesday.
Actually, this is going to be my spin for this week's Spin Cycle: Spring Cleaning, because I need to clean the cobwebs in my brain out before I can do the rest of the house.
Life has been full, and the fodder for posts numerous, but the clutch is sticking, and I can't seem to get my brain out of park long enough to write anything these days. I have been trying to get my life organized, or, rather, I've been trying to get myself organized for life. I am slowly trying to catch up again to where I need to be.
Unfortunately, the balls keep dropping. This week Little Fish has dropped a ball on my efforts by refusing to sleep for more than twenty minutes at a time. Teething? Sick? All those developmental leaps? No idea. This too shall pass, right?
Speaking of developmental leaps, he's heading toward mobility, and the house is nowhere near prepared for it. I have fallen way behind in the house keeping department. I've been devising various plans to catch up, but as of yet, they haven't amounted to much. Keep moving forward, right?
With the new year came numerous changes, including a new primary class. Actually, it's an old primary class. They moved us up two age levels, so we have our kids from two years ago again, and we are so excited. We love these kids, and I am so excited to be studying the Old Testament and Pearl of Great Price with them.
I want to do better this year at preparing lessons in advance, because I feel like these kids deserve really well-prepared lessons. That, and the new year also brought 8:30 in the morning church, so throwing things together Sunday morning isn't going to work anymore.
I don't think I'll even go into my plans for artwork this year. That's a corner full of cobwebs for another day. And did I mention we're gearing up for Day Camp? It's only five months away, and the "to do" list for that is growing as well.
*deep breath*
I feel better now.
Onward and upward! (And perhaps a little bit sideways.)

Hey, there's nothing wrong with sideways! It still means you're moving!
Good luck with cleaning out the cobwebs, I kind of feel that way too sometimes..
You're linked!
I wish you luck with all this and the additional you didn't mention. I'm tired just reading the list.
I know the feeling! Wal-mart had a sale on those cute canvas storage bins, so I picked a few up and suddenly feel like I'm organized again!...now to put something in the bins...Then I got the kids all made up adorable first thing this morning and cleaned the carpets, to which Autumn responded with a liberal rainstorm of chip crumbs she procured from who knows where- then at nap time she took care of that cute outfit I put her in. She decided to use her soiled diaper as both a pillow and crib paint and didn't tell me till I went to wake her up. That stuff is like cement when it dries on cheeks, and I'm not talking about the bottom ones. The good news is, I was able to laugh it all off(till she starts exhibiting signs of e.coli at least, please no!). There is always so much to do! You'll do it great though. Try to enjoy each moment, and find meaning in each task. It makes it more fun(0: Love ya!
Yeah. A couple years ago we bought a whole bunch of those cute canvas storage bins. I think two or three of them are actually in use, but I found a stack of them out in the storage when I was looking for something the other day. Just having them there makes me feel a bit more organized though.
