Need....Sleep.....

I have been so exhausted lately, and it's my own fault. I can't seem to get over my night-owl sleeping schedule, even when I want to get up for work at 6:30. Last night, I was up until 2am, and the day before I was up until after midnight. Seriously, what is my deal?
The Camping trip is this weekend, and even though we all usually wake up with the sun, it will be a relaxing Saturday, and I can even take a nap if needed. I might just be tired enough to not want to go to every mini-event this weekend. (If I do skip out on anything, I know my good friends will be shocked.)

Anyway, now I have to make it through today. Good thing I'm leaving at 3pm!

Old Posts

So I used to have an account at Livejournal, but since pretty much only one person read it, I was not motivated to write much. In an effort to motivate myself to write more often, I've decided to move over to a new acount here at Blogspot.

I also don't want to lose my old posts, so I'm just going to move them over... see below.

Long time, no post...

So for those of you who still check this journal, here's my thought of the moment....I am going to be so busy in the next couple of months! And the insanity won't end until a few weeks after I've started classes. I'm feeling pretty good, though, like I'm going to be getting a lot out of life during this time. We'll have to see how this goes - two classes on top of my "normal" schedule. :-)

Deep thought of the morning...

I realized yesterday how random I can be... After talking with my husband this morning, I figured out that my randomness used to bug him a bit. People don't always want to hear every little thing that I think. And the worst part is, since I don't always remember what I say, I could have really ticked off so many people by saying something that hurt them without even realizing it.

I have all these bad memories as teen/preteen of people deciding they didn't like me and proceeding to make that clear to me, and for so long I thought that those situations were purely the result of kids bonding by finding a common enemy - me being the easy target. I'm starting to wonder if what really happened was that I said or did something that hurt these people, and they just didn't know how to tell me or forgive me.

While I definitely have the natural tendency to just be totally open and free with what I share, sometimes doing so is not the best plan and could possibly cause me to lose friends. Knowing when to not talk has got to be one of the hardest obstacles I will ever have to try to overcome.

Back to a regular schedule

So it's been three weeks since I started my new job. Things are going super well, and I feel so much better about what I do now. As always, though, there are a few tasks that I've been meaning to do for a while that I just can't seem to find the motivation for. It seems that if I wait long enough, they won't really matter anymore - maybe I'll just do that... :-) Can't skip cleaning the cat litter, though. (Too bad for me...)

Also, I've finally gotten through last year's pictures that needed to be scrapbooked, so now I get to focus completely on whatever I want. I'm thinking that I will only scrapbook a few major events per year. Limiting myself will hopefully help me to not feel so overwhelmed with "keeping up", so then I will be more excited about just doing pages for fun. I guess this means that tomorrow I'm going to take a trip up to Joann's and pick up a new album. Woohoo!
