Excellent Time Manager...Who Me?

Hey guess what? I have been rather busy the past few days and have loads more busyness on deck, but I've actually been managing my time beautifully and am not panicked or behind schedule at all. No one is more surprised than me!


Over the past few days I have...

Cleaned out the fridge
Prepared and presented Sharing Time
Had a stewardship meeting
Taught Family Home Evening
Thoroughly cleaned the house
Made spinach dip
Coached two soccer practices
Talked to Michelle
Took Whitney to buy school supplies
Took Landon and Austin to meet my mom for a sleepover
Watered the lawn
Sorted through the summer build-up on the kitchen dresser
Cut a cantaloupe and half a huge watermelon
Watched some TV
Talked to Kristi
Slept well!
Almost finished my book club book
Done many loads of laundry

How about that?! This is so unlike me that I feel like shouting from the roof tops (though I have no idea how I'd get up there). I'm not quite sure what I'd shout, maybe something like "I'm really well prepared!", or "Hey, I managed my time well" or "I'm not a total schmuck this time", or "Apparently I CAN learn". Any suggestions? I keep think Natasha (aka the Ultimate Planner/Prepared Girl) would be proud, but then again, I don't think my version of well prepared is even close to as good as hers...I guess I'm baby stepping.

**Do you work well under pressure?
How are your time management skills?
Why are these Asians shouting?**

Comment Window Tidbit: Randy just called me to the bathroom to investigate "an unusual smell". Of course I was frightened and not willing to participate until he said, "It's either skunk or coffee beans." It was skunk smell coming through the bathroom window!

You comment reminds of something Kim just told me. She said the kitchen smells like "old people who forgot to bathe." It was the hummus I was packing in Luci's lunch for her to dip her bell pepper in. (Making school lunches and blogging at 1:00 a.m. is part of how I get it all in.)

I do like to plan but really it helps me manage my anxiety. My cousin was teasing me about how could I possibly wait to find out the gender of this baby when I am such a planner. I explained that at least I have every other aspect of it planned . . . I already have the newborn pics scheduled for Sunday Oct. 17 at noon, thank you, I told her!

You HAVE accomplished a lot!! That should make for a nice trip to Colorado too.

Natasha would be proud- I'd like to hire her to organize my life! As for you, two words: YOU ROCK!

Oh- and I just read your post on commenting, but couldn't post a comment. I feel the same way. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother writing my blog, I don't think anyone reads it. I put myself out there and it gets ignored, even my people I consistently comment on and it hurts my feelings to be honest with you.

I love your one-liners: "This is so unlike me that I feel like shouting from the roof tops (though I have no idea how I'd get up there)."

It felt good just reading about your productivity. Kudos.

I'm thrilled for you! I always feel so excited and proud of myself when I am efficient and productive. I wonder why I don't do that all the time?

How can skunk smell and coffee beans be confused?

i am getting better under pressure.
i think because i am learning to say not to things that keep me from getting things done
