A Balancing Act

Its so amazing to me how there are so many things that you can do throughout the day, but there always seems to be something that gets missed. For example last week Jaylee was teething and kept getting fevers and just wanted to cuddle, so of course my home was neglected, so this week I have been trying to get caught up with the cleaning and now I feel like I am not spending as much time as I should with Jaylee. I have also been trying to take the time to do my calling as best as I can, not to mention read the ensign, study scriptures, do research on my family so we can do temple work. Add in some baking and cooking, and wow time just flies way too fast, and I still want to do a garden, I must be crazy, but the crazy part is that I am really not stressing out about all these things going on, and it may have something to do with what my visiting teacher told me this month. She told me that instead of writing down the things she needs to do that day she writes down the things that she accomplished that day that way she feels more positive about the day and doesn't stress out as much. So I have come to the conclusion that I will do my best and be happy with what I have accomplished. I will start with yesterday ( too early to do today)

Worked/ earned money for family
did 3 loads of laundry
made dinner
made cookie dough
went grocery shopping
worked on my cross-stitch project
played outside with jaylee for a little bit.
helped Jaylee unload the dishwasher
watched Ducktails with Devon
Read my scriptures

Not too bad. Considering most of it happened after 2. Yeah, much better than listing those things I didn't do.
