Jump in where you are

I love the FlyLady.  Google her if you don't know who she is.  One of her many little tidbits of inspiration is the you are never behind!  Just jump in where you are. 
I love that!
I need to remind myself of that everyday.
It does not matter that I did not finish what I started yesterday (a totally ADHD thing).
I can start fresh today.
One of my favorite books of all time is Anne of Green Gables. 
You can never go wrong reading about a redhaired Canadian girl!
One of the life lessons that Anne learns early on is "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it. "
It is a good thing.


So life is still as busy as ever.
There is only one and half more weeks of school for my kids.
I do not get time off from school for a summer break.
The summer movie season is starting so work is getting really busy again.
Citirine is getting booked for more and more performances (YAY!)
My in-laws just retired!
I get to go to girl's camp with the Young Women this year but am struggling to figure out which days to go because I have to work a lot.  Wish I could go the whole time.
I am slowly learning how to say no to every volunteer opportunity.  That is a hard one for me.  I like to help.
My sister Jen found out that she is having a girl in September!  Woo-hoo!  I have one niece on my side and one niece on David's side.  All the rest are boys!  I have 8 nephews.  So it will be awesome to have another little cutie girl.
I still need to paint and finish up Ally's room.  But I am going to wait until school is out for her.  She has a lot of crap in her room that I am going to make her clean up and throw out.
And yes, this list could go on and on and on......
but I won't bore you or overwhelm myself thinking about.  Just gonna jump in where I am.


So today I will be grateful that I have things to do.  I will attempt to be grateful that I have not been bored for over 15 years now.
