Ever notice how when you make a plan, especially an important one, something always comes up? God does his best Lee Corso impression and says, "Not so fast, my friend." (Lord, I apologize for using you and Lee Corso in the same sentence... And be with the starving pygmies down there in New Guinea)
I think it's actually a test to see how you can truly adapt, possibly change courses altogether, and still get the job done. That's where I've failed in the past. I've always "meant' to or "really wanted" to do something, but when life unexpected came up, I used that as an excuse. Well, since I've already referenced College Gameday and Larry the Cable Guy, I might as well throw in the old cliche about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions.
So in the past week, I got both kids registered and set up for school next fall (HUGE), rearranged my bedroom to help keep it less cluttered, worked out some tax/401k/student loan issues, and started an online class through UCA to learn website development... So it's not been wasted.
It's getting tougher though to stay motivated. The first week, I woke up fairly early feeling great about "What can I get done today?" Now, I still think about what I need to do, and make out my daily list more, but have found myself fighting the procrastination urge more.
This week we finish the kids rooms and we're good. Then next week I hope to meet with a personal trainer at the Conway County Community Center and will be off and running on the physical health side of my renewed life.
