Busy Busy Busy. March was defenetly the month of overload. I pretty much had a nervous breakdown all of march. I had to physically sit down and write out everyhting I am responsible for in my life and wheedle it down to the necessities because my life has just been getting to be too much like SuperWoman's. I am not SuperWoman by the way...just in case you were wondering. I gave it a shot...and all it got me was stressed out and having my boss ask if I needed to cut back my hours...(which yes..I would love to...but I'd need to get paid more to compensate for it)

And then I re-discovered a lovely blog by Glynnis Whitwer... and she had this great series of posts on clutter. I have been plagued by house clutter for awhile now and it really started bothering me lately. So thanks to her, I started getting my house in order. I started a cleaning schedule - which I've stuck to- and it feels sooooo much better. But the even better part of it was that in that series was also posts on how to de-clutter your mind and stuff. Which I needed. I am so overloaded with information and things to do that it broke me down to the point of forgetting some really important things and becoming disgruntled, complacent and lazy.

But now thanks to Glynnis - and yes I am giving her full credit for this - I have 3 organized closets, a cleaning schedule that is being used (my kitchen has stayed clean for 3 days in a row!!), my son has a clean room, I have 2 spotless and mopped bathrooms and I am able to sit on my couch and relax at night before bed in a clean living room and just veg in bliss. I am still organizing and stuff, but already in 3 days it has been miraculous.

So now that my home life and therefore my brain is being restored from the crazyness...now I am focusing on work. I bought a planner/todo notebook..it has been really helping me. Aside from the fact that now I see how busy I actually am.

And on that note I really need to get back to work. Hope yours is good!
