Priorities...As Simple As...

Really, the only way to manage this crazy life we all lead is to deal with priorities. Here's what I figure, I will never be completely caught up with everything. That is quite a realization. There will always be something else, the next thing, the list of to-do's... That will never go away. So, priorities. It's simple, right? But seriously, to me it seems like everything is important. Everything with Higgy's needs to get done in a timely manner. Taking care of the kids needs to take priority. Taking care of our home needs to happen. And, of course, spending time with our family is critical. Wow, I guess that means a couple things have to give. I'm thinking sleep has to be one of them, much to my dismay. I figured out quite quickly that hours spent cleaning the house will just have to either wait or drop substantially. Grocery shopping is also another thing that can get pushed away to a safe distance. So, here's the plan: I'm going to do the "must do's" daily, whether it's doing the dishes, making calls, doing something fun with the kids, spending time with Steve... Then, I'll do a couple things daily that don't have to be done daily and rotate through them, so that I get to them, just not right away. Then, there's the issue of taking a day off. What?? But I've got to pull weeds, or do laundry, or go grocery shopping...Well, I guess these too can wait, at least for one more day. So, time to get to it! I must go DO!
