Give Me Five: Things I have been busy with in the last 2 weeks
Today’s Give Me Five’s is about things I have been busy with in the last 2 weeks. Wow, things have been absolutely crazy here!
1. Work- I have been picking up quite a bit of side work. It seems like I may have overdone my load I decided to take on! I am writing newsletters for a few companies, I am designing a website, writing website content, and helping organize events for another. Oh! I am also am back completing employee handbooks for my old company that I worked at before I got swept away with having my boys!
2. TaeKwonDo- last week Ty had a summer camp demo, this weekend the boys were in a large parade performing TaeKwonDo forms and throwing beads, this coming weekend is another demo. All these shows also require extra TaeKwonDo practices. We have been going non-stop!
3. Cleaning-I have been trying to do a bit of Spring cleaning through all of this. Not completely successfully, I may say, but some is better then none in my opinion. I defrosted and cleaned my deep freeze, reworked files, cleaned out drawers and so forth.
4. Trying to get the kids all settled for school next year. I am still waiting on one last school for Tyler. If He doesn’t get into this one, then I will begin the process of homeschooling v. regular neighborhood public schooling. I’ve really had to work on my patience and obsessing over this one. It is difficult for sure.
5. Family and friends. Through all of my busyness, I have tried to continue and improve my time with the people I love. I may have 5 hours of work left for that day, but I make sure I take the time to cuddle with my boys, play some Candyland or watch a movie with my hubby. I have kept all my weekly dates with my friends, even when it has been tempting to let them go so I can sneak in a few more hours of work.

Reading this is making me tired, too!! Last week was our TKD testing, so we were basically there every day between different practicing, testing groups and then the belt ceremony, so I know all about living at the TKD school!! I’ve been busy trying to get lots of things done around here lately too, and my blogging has definitely been the thing that got dropped…

You should make it a “give me SIX Monday” list and add “motivational speaking” to it… ‘cuz I suddenly feel like pulling my crap together!
