Good gosh, if I committed to cleaning my daughter’s room, I’d be holed up the entire week.

I think this week I’ll lower my expectations. I’ve had a lot going on in my family. My mom died three weeks ago and I can’t seem to come to terms with all the unfinished business. She was a wonderful lady, always taking from herself in order to help others. At the same time she was tough and sometimes relentless if she thought she was right. (which was most of the time). Maybe if I just settle back and not expect anything from myself I’ll be alright. I just started reading your thoughts and Wendy you are gifted…

With acknowledgment like that, how can I not follow up one good week with another? But, considering it’s a holiday week, let’s ease up a bit, huh? For this week:

6 blog posts
3 future posts (to follow your example)
3 trips to the Y
Personal statement (to go with law school app)
Enjoy thanksgiving at my mom’s

If it doesn’t happen, I’ll give up my soda for the weekend.

Have an awesome Thanksgiving!!

It’s already about 1:00 here, and I haven’t been able to do any actual work yet today because my husband is hogging the other computer! I don’t know how we’re going to survive with him having most of the week off. I’m down to about five hours to get stuff done before class tonight, and I don’t know when I’ll get on that darned machine. I may have to get creative and work on the laptop! My plans for today:

1. Post for Freelance Parent
2. Post for Global Heat
3. Post for Charitable Thoughts
4. Post for Camp Cook
5. Work on B.T. project
6. Bradley Class tonight

I went ahead and removed some of the items that were on the list when I went to bed last night, as I just don’t have time to do them all. Still, I have to get these things done because if I don’t, I will not eat sweets for the rest of the week . . . now, that’s throwing down the gauntlet for a pregnant lady!

Oh Monday! I had the most relaxing, non-working weekend in such a long time that today, I can’t seem to wrap my head around where to begin! So my first task (even though it’s noon here) is to get my head back in the game and figure out what I’m going to do today!!!

Thanks for the inspiration Wendy!

[...] I will just pick a few that I know I can handle and then I will cut myself some slack. Afterall, as Wendy says today in her MM post, “this is why I work from home.” The flexibility is the best [...]

It’s that zen thing again Wendy – but this time I figured I would check out your headline first before crafting mine – and it was a good thing, too. Off to write my MM post.

Thanks for the reiminder, Wendy! I definitely need to write some future posts (I had done this a couple weeks ago, but I already posted them… so I’ve got nothing ready to go for the upcoming holidays).

I do have a few post ideas brewing around in my head. Sounds like a good time to actually write them down.

I posted my Monday Motivation at http://wahwebmommy.com/category/monday-motivation/ – I tend to do this for the week, though. I’m shocked that I’ve already completed all the items I had set out for today. I’m trying to tackle the Tuesday item today as well.

For a bonus, I’ll announce here that now also want to write at least 1 future post tonight (and not actually post it until I need to… sometimes I jump the gun and there goes my future post, lol).

And if I don’t get this done tonight…? Then I have to write TWO future posts tomorrow.

I hope you get your list done tomorrow so you don’t have to clean your teenage daughter’s room. Yikes!
