Any day can be a "start-over" day, which is the beauty of this kind of day. It can be anything you want it to be, "tomorrow I am going to start eating right, or stop drinking/smoking/procrastinating...."<br />My "start-over" is, "tomorrow I am going start working on my summer projects". Realizing school starts in two weeks has lit a small flame under my tush. It is great motivation to get serious about making a dent in my “summer project” list.<br /><br /><strong>Summer Projects:<br /></strong>- clean out desk and get ready for next semester (which now is only 2 weeks away)<br />- go through every ones dressers and closets and donate items that no longer fit (I have done every ones except mine)<br />- remove all baby toys from Alexander's (our 3yr old) toy box and organize his toys with labels (for him, not me)<br />- Dentist appt for me and the kids<br />- Dr. appt for the kids for end of summer check up<br />- move Hydrangea plants (they are getting sunburned)<br />- put some stuff on Craigs list to sell<br />- seal the granite kitchen counter top<br />- get a new phone book and transfer #'s into it (mine is so old and falling apart)<br />- start making jewelry for x-mas gifts<br />- make soups and meals to freeze for dinners (last min meals when I am running late from school)<br /><br /><strong>*Now here is the stuff I "wanted" to do before the summer is over:<br /></strong>- read a book for pleasure, not a text book (I'm almost done with 1)<br />- get a new sassy haircut<br />- ride at least 60 miles a week (early morning rides), so far zero miles logged<br />- work on my family heirloom cookbook (also x-mas gifts)<br />- volunteer at IBO<br />- float the river<br />- hike Table Rock with 11 yr old daughter (Hannah)<br />- go to Roaring Springs<br />- paint toe nails<br />- have coffee with girl friends<br /><br />This is only part of the list, it does not include the "real" project list, like make new pathway from drive way to fence, or cut down the back 3 pine trees and replace with some other "type" of tree"...and the list goes on.<br /><br />So, tomorrow I am going to start crossing things off my summer projects list. Tomorrow, I will start-over and stop procrastinating. I will not judge myself by how many things I cross off my list, I will just enjoy crossing each one off, one at a time. I will never stop “starting – over”.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3809797171208720156-5777441865832547447?l=justablinkaway.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>just a blink awayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13278738484981879677noreply@blogger.com0
