Perspective

As I was visiting with Diane and Mary Lou-hoo at the funeral dinner today, we were discussing that life gets so busy that we need something like a funeral to slow us down and put things back into perspective. They were so right! The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind at home and school, that I feel like I just want to curl up into a ball and pull my flannel sheets up over my head! If you looked at my calendar, you would notice that the past two weeks really haven't been bogged down with any more appointments than any other week. However, the manner in which I have chosen to tackle my daily tasks has obviously had a little bit to be desired. So this week (what's left of it) I am going to try to have a better perspective on everything! Maybe a little more quality time spent with my girls would alleviate the tiffs that arise when left to entertain themselves. I found that I managed to get 2 loads of laundry put away and 30 minutes of yoga squeezed in between 8-9pm. From my perspective, that's an accomplishment! The time before that was spent looking through book orders, reading books, and trying to stay out of the way at District Speech (that didn't work so well). So as I go to bed, I feel like my girls were happier and I am, too. And maybe it is all just a matter of perspective!
