Why I am still awake, I know my husband is going to roll over and close this computer for me because I just can't seem to do it myself. Why, you ask is that crazy woman still awake and on the computer with the bedroom light on while her poor husband is trying to sleep? Well, because the days are so full lately that I have to make some decisions on what things get done and what HAS to get done. I have taken cleaning the house off the list (although to be honest it has never been at the top) and doing the laundry has consisted of putting it in only when I have absolutely nothing to dress the kids in and even then it just gets thrown on the couch and some of it gets folded while walking by and sometimes I will dress the kids so I don't have to fold that outfit. Andrea, I don't know how you do it with 5 kids! I can't take the kids off of the to do list although I think my 23 month old is used to raising herself by now:), can you tell I am denying the fact that she will be turning to in three weeks?
Next comes work. My glass work has suffered some but I get it done when I can run by the kiln and throw some things in. Cutting and soldering? Not on my list right now. Then comes Dum, dum, dum (yes, that was my attempt at dramatic music 0 like I need more drama) MPM. Because I enjoy what I do so much I don't consider the 18 hour days work but... lately I have had to skim over all of the blog and since I love reading them so much and I really wanted to get back to commenting on each one I figured I would just read a few.
Like I said its now long after 2 and I started reading blogs around 12. I just can't stop! I love hearing the great ideas the campers come up with and I love that we can all help those that are struggeling. Every time I read one where someone is struggeling there are always support comments waiting for that person the next time they check their blog, I love this family.
I am also looking forward to talking to all of the alternates tomorrow night finally. It will be good to get to know them as well and for them to be able to share with each other and build the same community the "Campers" are building.
Now that I have gotten through all of the blogs posted today I will try to shut down my mind for a few hours for some sleep.

Well Jacki, Your not alone on the I can't sleep.
ReplyDeleteI myself find these past few days, I seem to be waking and going into these forever mind sets which keep me up for hours, so I find myself looking for someway to occupy my brain and reading these blogs and seeing that everyone out there are so much a part of life were all going through this great change, by working towards our goals as WCM owners and thinking of the end result helping the needy and achieving financial freedom for our self's, those our two whys, I think about daily the thought of my wife being with me at home ever day us being able to help are kids and family's out and still able to help out total strangers in need, I myself am a disabled vet and I think about my fellow vets out there with out any help, wondering around hungry and homeless, life is relentless to some. I draw from that and use it to help motivate myself, Just thinking how great it would be if I had freedom, to not worry about my life anymore and concentrate on helping others Awesome thought. well I think I am going to try getting some sleep again. Wishing you great success in your venture ahead, I know you will do well as will all our team. GO MPM Owners. Happy Holidays from my family to yours. marine
Jacki, they say "Do what you love and money will follow!" But I have taught stress management in a previous life, you have to have some rest for you. On the flip side, thank you for being there for us. I don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteHave recently dealt with a huge water issue at a former landlord's home. It was quite a story. So hearing of your "slight" water issue tonight causes me to wish you as little distress and disruption as possible as the repairs are made. Good luck. You're receiving your fair share of challenges during this Boot Camp. They won't win. You will. Stay positive and thank you again for your efforts.
