When I decided to send MP to public school, I noted that it would allow me more time to exercise, clean house, and write.
Today, several WEEKS after she began, I decided to give my new schedule a try. I got up at 5:30, dressed, watched TV, crawled BACK into the bed, got back up at 6:45, woke my daughter, drove her to school, and then drove myself to the gym where I ran 3 miles. Okay, I WANTED to run 3 miles, but my legs were like, “are you on CRACK?”, so I huffed and puffed my way through 1.
Then I went to the library, came home and showered, WROTE an entire chapter, which I hated, so I wrote two NEW pages which I semi-sorta liked, then worked at my real, actual paying job until the MP got home.
(Big breath) THEN I got everything ready for prayer night at church, ate, drove to church, drove home, sat down and wrote my blog, and went to bed.
Where I slept completely and totally fine even though I had somehow neglected the “clean house” portion of my schedule. That’s just how I roll.
You need to scale back expectations. You can not do everything.
You forgot to put your blog on the schedule
If you had been paying attention, you’d remember that I’m writing here one day, and on my WRITING blog the next. 🙂
