Sabbath Rest?
Did you ever have sooo much to do, you didn’t know where to start?
That’s how I’ve been feeling for weeks. School starts tomorrow and thankfully school supplies and uniforms are bought. So all I have to do is make sure we all wake up on time and get out the door by 7:30 am. UGH! I can’t remember the last time we all woke up that early together. One of many benefits of homeschooling! Chris (10) and Timmy (7) will have the hardest time waking up, but they might be so excited to start school, it won’t be a problem. One can hope anyway!
Aside from a homeschool room that looks like a tornado blew through it, I have three bedrooms in disarray because we decided to switch the boys’ rooms a few weeks before school started. Half of their stuff is scattered all over their rooms and the other half is either in the hallway or in my bedroom. My hubby will hopefully finish painting their dressers soon, but still has a loft bed to make.
Then there’s the consignment sale I do twice a year and thought it’d be a great idea to sort through the kids toys and get rid of all the things they don’t play with any more. The sale is in 3 weeks, and I ran out of packing tape yesterday! So had to make a trip to the store.
Then there’s the ever approaching ACFW conference in 30 days! My stuff is almost in order, at least it’s in order in my head. But I wanted to tackle a nonfiction proposal. Don’t know if I’ll be able to make that happen.
As if I didn’t have enough to worry about, I’ll be speaking at our local ACFW chapter meeting on the 1st of September and although I wrote my outline a month ago, I haven’t looked at it since.
And I’m not even going to mention all my online commitments!
I know what I need to do. Make a list and do one thing at a time. But sometimes I get so overwhelmed I do a little of this and a little of that, until I have 20 projects going at once.
So how do you handle project overload? Any advice or words of encouragement as I tackle some projects today?
And if you’ve made it to the end of this post, hurray for you. I’m giving away Kristin Billerbeck’s fun book, With This Ring I’m Confused! Check out my interview with Kristin here!
