Keeping Up With Life

So is it me or does like sometimes just move to fast to keep up? Of course school goes too quick, and it always seems like when you finish one project, another is sitting right on top. This really isn't a big deal because at least I KNOW there is an end to it every year in June and a chance to start fresh in August.

But life..I've recently decided to make a conscious effort on keeping up with life..that means house, friends, self...all that good stuff..the house itself is exhausting! Just keeping it clean seems to be a huge task and spring isn't even here yet so it's really JUST the inside, vacuuming, taking care of cat hair, keeping boxes clean, keeping floors clean, blankets washed...all that jazz. I just feel like there is ALWAYS something more to be done, even when I'm putting in the extra effort..I wonder if it's worth it in the long run!! Joe and I tend to clean once a week, on weekends, and before that, the house spends the whole week just getting messed up. Things that are as simple as wiping down the counters or doing dishes after dinner, we are just not good at! Is it that we are both teachers and have exhausted all of our resources by days end? I'd like to think we aren't lazy people!

None the less..I'm about to start making tacos..grilled chicken, onions, and tomatoes..another goal of mine, more fresh eatting...for the vegetable averted one..really, I'm starting to feel weird being the only human on the earth who doesn't eat salad! but I'm getting better....I haven't breeched lettuce yet, and I don't know that I'll ever, but at least I'm eatting tomatoes and onions ;)
