My productivity

In the last few days I have: Grown a bit Finished preliminary ideas on my book Begun to Learn where to go next in the process Gotten a little intimidated by the whole thing - but very pleased with getting my ideas out on paper. Pretended that singing in front of a couple hundred people isn't absolutely terrifying Had fun Wasn't too terribly nervous Wrote an article for our church's women's ministry newsletter Really enjoyed the process Started brainstorming for next months article Started working on an outline for facilitating discussion in our young couples Sunday school class in a few weeks Started to think it may be a little bit scary to go where I am going with it Felt very led to go there anyway - pretty sure it will be a good thing Started lists for our camping trip with my entire family (19 of us) next weekend Very excited that we will all be together Fun to see all four of my guys giddy about the trip Wrote a song Sent it to a guy from church who has composed his own music before Was delightfully surprised when I heard the song put to music Went camping in the yard again Had a fun bon fire Took Jay on a surprise shopping trip for fireworks and sparklers Was exasperated at Jay for stalling at nap time yesterday and coming up with an all new excuse for not sleeping: "It feels like there's a stick in my eye!" Felt bad for my exasperation when two hours later his eyes were red, puffy, and oozing some kind of grossness Took him in to the after hours clinic and waited 2 hours for the pink eye diagnosis Had a hard time finding a pharmacy that was open Finally got the medicated eye drops Now has to hold down a screaming and kicking four year old every 3 hours to administer eye drops Started thinking about baby names For the first time in my life came up pretty blank (Very strange thing for me) Planned to make four fleece blankets for the Interfaith shelter Only got one done Finally gave in to the exhaustion that had been tempting me Much still needs to be done - but I have a very fulfilled satisfaction at the productivity going on around here Dave has been making several trips to a friends house to collect wood from trees they are cutting down. We are well prepared for next winter and likely getting a head start on the following one. It's been a busy household over here! How was your weekend?
