I wish that I could say that I accomplish everything that I wanted to accomplish today but I did not. I can list the excuses but they are just that excuses. I hate days like today when I set goals then find reasons for not accomplishing them. I never use to be this type of person. Six months ago, I was able to set goals and get them done, not stopping until all was accomplished.
It was a total unproductive day for I managed to clean the house, spend time with the grandbaby (her mom is now back to work so I have babysitting duties) and I read several of the game cards that are part of the game "Who is Smarter than a Fifth Grader." I am not smarter than a 5th grader. I was doing this as part of studying for my Praxis which is one week from today.
I so need to get ahead on my homework so that I can spend a majority of the week studying for this test. I am trying to not let the stress of one test that has the whole balance of the rest of my life affect me but I think I am failing at that also. I have a good start on many of the assignments yet cannot seem to finish them.
I have also failed to have any quality time with my son, which I think is what is really bothering me the most. Lately we have been arguing a lot and I am trying to not have this happen. He is not sleeping and is in a depression that is starting to worry me but no matter what I say or try to do it is the wrong thing according to him. I will just keep trying and tell him that I love him and pray that this will pass soon.
The baby is finally asleep but her mom will be calling for a ride in about 10 minutes so I cannot see the reason to start working on an assignment- yep there is another excuse.
I need to remind myself about the saying about excuses and dirty diapers have one thing in common -Crap!
Here is to a better night and a more productive day tomorrow- for you know what they say about tomorrow -"The sun will come out tomorrow -bet your bottom dollar that there will be sun tomorrow!"
now the song is stuck in your head as well!
Carrie, I understand not being as productive as you hope to be! I wouldnt stress about the Praxis too much. I think that first summer program of pace with have yuou will prepared to take the test. You'll do great! It is good to remember that the sun with come out tomorrow, and that there is a reason for everything, even if we cant see it yet. I hope you are able to spend some time with your son soon, my brother does the exact same thing with my mom! Hang in there :)
