attitude adjustment

My *someone at work* is getting on my every last nerve.

I seriously need to be grateful to even have a job.

Speaking of jobs, T has some exciting changes on the job front and we are soooo happy to have our dad/husband back-ish. He still has to teach three evening classes for another 8 weeks or so but after this term, he's pretty much back to normal hours. Wow, my boys are sick of me. When the evenings consists of:  

running up to Auntie's house to pick up Keo, getting back around 7pm, fitting in dinner somewhere in there (eating out a WHOLE lot more than is remotely healthy), checking homework (the bane of my existence - I'd better be a stay-at-home mom by junior high), baths, chores, scriptures, prayer, karate, scouts, blah blah blah, then after they're in bed, laundry, cleaning, lunches for the next day (only Keo & mine, I've completely let go of my once honorable determination to send my kids to school with healthy lunches and have gagged as I pay the monthly bill for school lunches), pack Keo's bag for Auntie, sorting mail, bills, blah blah blah 

 *anyone* would be sick of me. The weekend rolls around and the hubby is all excited to do something fun, while I'm wiped out and the kids just want their DAD! It's been an interesting first third of the year.

So work stress is not my top priority nor do I have the patience for something that is merely keeping me from my babies. K, it does pay a substantial amount of bills but I have found very little gratitude for that in my overly-blessed life. Figures.

So I am in need of an attitude adjustment. Nothing that a lil' blog stalking can't fix. This blog is so much fun! I don't particularly love bugs but I saw it on "blogs of note" and it makes me happy for some reason. Then sweet Jul makes any day more peaceful. Through her blog, I found this one (haha, look at the April 23rd post). And Ms. NieNie just percolates happy.

I found one more quote on Rhonna's blog that really struck me:

You can do anything

but not everything

-David Allen

Love this. I can't do everything, only attempt to do it all and do it all halfway. And poorly.

Ahh, we all have stuff we don't love. I suppose that's life. So it's freezing outside but it's beautiful. I'm meeting my much free-er husband and so stinkin' perfect(-ly spoiled) baby for lunch and I think somewhere in there I'll find my smile and figure that my work will get done, somewhat, and that we are all healthy, happy and loved.

I have new pictures of my kiddos which would make anyone happy in my very-not-objective opinion and am sooo excited to try and locate my camera & camera cards so that I may post and brag. Someday. The kids are getting cuter and giant-er.
