This morning started really early- 4 am to be exact- and while I'd love to say I am a bright and cheerful morning person, I am not. Got hubs off to work with breakfast and lunch (made sausage/egg burritos and tuna), then I headed back to bed.
8 o'clock came and that's when I am in a normal state of mind to be up and going. So I had my coffee, read some of the Kindle book I started last night (Life, Love, and Vintage Housekeeping by Alison May), put the trash to the street and now Cowboy and I are watching Layla hunt and torment a defenseless locust.
Sitting out here on my beautiful front porch pondering about the projects I need to do, the projects I want to do, and the other improvements to the house that I am incapable of doing myself. The list is long and my imagination is endless. Sure wish my bank account was just as endless.
Debating dinner thoughts- menu says lasagna (and today is National Lasagna Day) but I am just not feeling Italian today. So dinner may turn into enchiladas or fried chicken (fried chicken won).
On today's To-Do list are the normal daily chores- house pick-up, dishes, dinner, and general property upkeep. Additionally I need to bathe the dog, wash our linens, and move this mirror that my sister brought me from the front porch to my room so it can be mounted for my vanity set-up.
Also thinking of starting in on a new addition to my flower bed, really just an extended section of the current. But that is dependent upon when and if the lawn guys show up today. Definitely don't want to be out there on my hands and knees when these fellows show up to cut the grass.
So many thoughts floating around in my head. 3 major life changes need to take place- 1) I need to become more productive and structured in my day to day life. 2) We as a couple need to eat and become healthier, I love the whole food diet and want to implement that into our lives. 3) Debt pay-off UGH!
These 3 things are weighing heavily in my heart, all are necessary changes that need to take place to make our lives better overall. BUT there's the question of do I start them all in baby steps and hope to not become overwhelmed? Or do I become gazelle intense on each one individually and if I do that how long between them will it take to reach all 3? I need each of them and quite honestly I needed them to happen yesterday.
And that is today's ponderings of this small town wife.
