Is that the end of the tunnel or is it a train heading my way?

I should change my subtitle to 'Hang On, The Ride Isn't Over'.

This has been a wild and crazy summer - not at all what I expected.  I knew pretty clearly what the ten days in New England would be like, I had a fair idea about how difficult the two weeks minding the Gkids at the ranch would be, I knew that was closely followed by a weekend workshop at the Guild.  I didn't plan to be so very much involved the Kitchens kitchen remodel.  I spent two weeks/10 hour days working on hardwood flooring, drywall, painting, dog sitting, Nanny-granny.  And it is not over!!  Thankfully, the remodelers went on vacation so I can stay home and mind my own 'stuff' for a little while.  Man, have I fallen behind!

But the end IS in sight.  Yesterday I slept, read (two books) and vegged.  Today I visited God and did yard work.  I still have some Nanny-granny work to do and will help out (when asked) on the remodel and try very hard to be in my own life and doing my own things.

It is a struggle when family is so important to me and I so enjoy spending time with my kids.  But I don't put me first nearly enough.  I truly do have work that I want to do, that is important to me.  I just need to get better at saying 'No' to others and 'Yes' to me.
