Goal of warm comfortable house is in the works. Actually, my son helped. Though we are going to paint in a few weeks, he was adamant to hang a few pictures up on the existing nails to brighten up the room. I loved that. My daughter put a vase of colorful flowers on the bakers rack. We are getting there. Rebecca, It's the little touches that make it a home. The rest will happen in time. Enjoy the journey of putting your home together.

They can surprise me at times. My son took the entire day today and helped me wash dishes and clothes along with moving things. He was determined that I would not injure my hand further. He was so sweet!
I have some of my books on my shelves. A fridge full of food. A table to eat off of. And 1/2 of the beds up. Hoping to have all dishes washed and put away tomorrow and a good dent put into the laundry.

At this age your children are so good. You must understand them.

Not really. I got my next assignment from my professor and I couldn't stop thinking about it. Very frustrating.

Frustrated in reaching my daily goals that feed into my one year goals. It never fails that I get interrupted. I lost six hours today because of an emergency with a friend. I'm not upset about helping in an emergency, but if it is not something like that which happens often, it is my husband needing the computer to get his job done at the only time I've been able to get a chance to be on it myself. I cannot wait to get my new laptop in a couple of weeks!
These last few days had people dropping in every five minutes. Most of it was because we just moved a few days ago and they were checking on us. That was very sweet. Yet, frustrating when you want to write an article or study for a class.
This week I'm locking the door and hiding in the basement.

This reminds me of the thread about reducing stress by expecting the unexpected.
I don't have any actual advice by mentioning that. It's not like we can expect emergencies from friends.

You are so right about that. I've started to just stay up late at night when I know I won't be bothered and do my work. Then if nothing drastic happens the next day, I am on target and can take a nap if need be.

At least a new laptop is an awesome thing to look forward to, and then there will be no stopping you LOL!

Chaos is trying to take over. I refuse to let it. So, I'm going to really scrutinize my to-do and evaluate them against goals and reasons.
- Finish proofreading
Why? job
Goal? stable income as writer/editor
Obstacles? Time and computer accessibility will be the obstacles.
Overcome Obstacles? Take advantage of time on computer, give up social event.
Celebrate with? A cup of hot tea
- Response to professor
Why? class assigment
Goal? education
Obstacles? my own fear, interruptions, my hand
Overcome Obstacles? take a walk, tell myself that I can do it, hide to be alone and focus, take breaks to rest hand
Celebrate with? a happy dance
- Read supplemental material
Why? class assignment
Goal? education
Obstacles? interruptions and computer
Overcome Obstacles? go somewhere to be alone and use computer whenever husband is away from his work even if he is just visiting the latrine.
Celebrate with? take a walk
- Thrift store to buy dishware
Why? need plates and glasses
Goal? comfortable home environment and saving money
Obstacles? ability to go
Overcome Obstacles? go when husband gets back and before he leaves again.
Celebrate with? set table and admire
- Chapter 3 Quiz
Why? school assignment
Goal? education
Obstacles? computer
Overcome Obstacles? do it in just a minute
Celebrate with? A smile of satisfaction
- Read Iliad - 5 sections
Why? research for paper
Goal? education
Obstacles? time
Overcome Obstacles? take book with me everywhere to read
Celebrate with? watching Price of Persia
Just by writing all this out I feel better about tackling my day. I want to unpack some more boxes, but my school assignments have a deadline and unpacking can be done by others or later. Really weeded out unnecessary things to do today.
