Random-ness
I have nothing in particular to write or share today. But brace yourselves, it turned into kind of a whiny post...
I finished an exam today that I was pretty stressed about. It was the THIRD exam in this process, and it's the last step, so I was feeling lots of pressure as I have dedicated lots of time thus far. But I finished up in just over two hours, and I was feeling pretty confident coming out. So it's in the Lord's hands now. Everyone say a quick little prayer for me :) (and you know, more important things too--but also for this please haha).
I have another one on Tuesday for a completely different agency, and I'm surprised I was even invited for an exam to that one, to be honest. My stomach is in knots over this one. I don't know why I do this to myself--worry like this. There's NOTHING I can do to change the fact that I don't know much about this agency, and there's nothing I can do about needing to write the exam. If I pass, I pass. If I fail, I fail and it truly doesn't matter, but it FEELS like my life depends on it LOL..am I the only one that turns molehills into mountains ALL.OF.THE.TIME?
I haven't made any progress on packing, but that's ok because I still have 18 more days LOL. I could pack an entire house in 2 days, so it's cool. I have my to-pack list though. Trying to coordinate even one excursion with the other couple we are going with. Tyler and I will do one or two on our own as well, since we like to keep busy and do lots while we are away. Not a super fan of laying around all day and night. I like to immerse myself in some cultural and fun things too!
This weekend we have NO plans yet. But our museum membership card we bought FINALLY came in the mail, so maybe we will use that-- But I may go get my hair done. Or go for a mani/pedi, or go alone to the movies. SOMETHING where I have some time to myself. The benefit for tyler being off in the winter for the most part is he gets LOTS of time alone at home, alone to run errands, alone to go to lunch with friends, alone to do what he pleases. But from the moment I open my eyes, I am looking after other people, or dealing with coworkers, or cooking or cleaning, etc...I want a few hours alone. Quiet. A pedicure while I read my latest book from the library "You are a Badass: How to stop doubting your greatness and start living an awesome life" by Jen Sincero sounds like HEAVEN.
I also NEED to get back to the gym.
I also think I may start the grocery service at Walmart. I am resistant because I don't like not being the one picking my meat and produce, but guys, I am seriously short on time. And I hate dedicating my mornings on weekends to the stress of the crazies in the grocery stores on weekends...what to do, what to do.
Am I also the only one that feels like January went by at a snails pace, and then February flew by? There's only six days left in the month! But I guess that's also because February is so short to begin with. But still--closer to the trip, closer to the spring forward time change AND to spring...I'll take it!
Also who wants to come and fold all of my laundry?
And cook my dinners?
And pack lunches?
And mop the floors?
And steal all of the toys that make me go NUTS?
And organize the kids rooms?
And go through my front hall closet?
I DID go through the two big food cupboards last night, and threw out any boxes that were opened, scrubbed down the shelves and reorganized it. I also cleaned off the butcher block completely, and left only the Keurig, Kcups and carousel mugs on there (the espresso machine has been put away). It feels a lot lighter/cleaner. Now I just want the rest of the house to feel like that and not oppressively filled with toys.
I need some of your favourite organization/time saver tricks, obviously. HELP!
