squeezed out of time

so the whole "goals" thing went by the wayside like two weeks after i tried starting it. i let my life go in full speed more often than it should. as ferris bueller said, 'Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.'


so i need to slow down and chill. that means i need to get back to my goals. this week has been torture on me though - i went from extreme high of finally feeling like i've found a better direction at work to crashing down around me today after an impromptu meeting. after that, sinuses attacked, eyes watered, face hurt, and i went home. the two things i wanted to accomplish (my two classes) did not happen - once due to ill planning (um, forgot shorts) and today due to the onset of sinus-blah. but those classes are important to me and like many other things, they should be priority.

so i got home, took a minute to recoup, then started thinking more about my priorities. then i started making valentine's with the kid and realized how much i miss doing that stuff with her. we spend so much time during the week just trying to get through the day that we fail in taking time to create, have fun, just laugh. she and i laughed tonight as we created her valentine's box and she drew pictures for family. it was a GOOD night. such a good night that she stayed up an hour late and of course in doing that she is totally wired. what is that about?

so back to goals.. this weekend is going to be about having fun and enjoying my family. that's the goals .. nothing like "do this", "do that". its all about enjoying them. i don't want to miss anything!
