Today’s AOL horoscope:
Sometimes the pressure on you Archers is that others expect you always to be aiming your arrow high into the sky. You believe that you need to be optimistic, looking upward into the heavens toward the greatest potential. But what if you don’t feel that way? This can create a conflict, for you don’t want to let others down. Today presents you with an opportunity to bring up some of your darker emotions. You might be pleasantly surprised at how others rally to your support.
I’m scared.
That horoscope sounds like the story of my life. I feel that I have to be perfect. I have to be pushing hard. That I have to be happy all the time. I have to be the perfect Mom, the perfect Christian, always smiling, never sad. I can barely relax at home unless Aidan falls asleep on me and forces me to sit/sleep/read/whatever. I wake up at about 6:40am, and I’m going going going until at least 1:00am the next morning. I feel like I always have to be doing something. Must always be productive. Cannot be lazy, sitting there, wasting time and space.
Darker emotions? I’m scared to reveal them. I really am. I know they’ll hurt a lot of people. So I will keep them to myself–except for my personal elite (Jen, Ivy, etc).
So anyway, it’s not even 11am, and I’ve been very productive already. I cleaned my desk, attended a meeting, did a bunch of stuff. I have lots to do tonight still, including going to the store. So, here’s my list:
[ ] Pop & drinks
[ ] Film
[ ] Cookies
[ ] Volleyball/Badminton set (?)
I have some chores to do tonight:
[ ] Put laundry away
[ ] Clean off half wall
[ ] Make bed
Think I can do it all in 2 hours? Let’s hope so!

Comments Off on Things I Need To Do – REVISITED
So, I’m using dial-up right now because Road Runner is being pissy for some reason. I hope it’s back to normal tomorrow. AOL only gives me 5 free dial up hours. Then they charge $2.95 per hour after that. I hate not having broadband. Tonight, I was going to catch up on all my email. I’m disappointed that I can’t do it. So, those of you who read my LJ and send me email, I PROMISE I’ll get back to you ASAP.
Had a fun day Sunday. Sunday school, church, lunch with cool people. I’m always happy to help Jen H delay her Monday. I love the time with Joshua A, and Garth. Chad, Christy and her sister Aimee came too! Lunch was fun. I was glad to see Sheena there, for she is on her way to Kentucky on Tuesday. I didn’t get to know her really well, but I’ll miss her. My little boy. WOW. He went to everyone and gave them all hugs. Then I came home and CLEANED MY CLOSET. Yes, folks. My closet is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. I’m so thrilled. I hope I can keep it that way for longer than 3 days.
So, here’s the inventory:
[x] My closet
[x] Master bedroom
[ ] Living Room (vaccuum and spot treat carpet)
Oh my goodness. I just realized that my monitor is gross. So, another thing to add to my cleaning list:
[ ] Computer Monitor
I need to go shopping. CASH ONLY shopping! Here is my list:
[ ] Air fresheners (assorted types)
[ ] Toilet paper
[ ] Light bulbs
[ ] Trash bags
[ ] Present for Kelly P.
[ ] Prescription refill
[ ] Contact solution
I think that’s all. And yeah, the monitor is driving me nuts. I really need to go to bed. Not sure why I’m not very sleepy. If I lay down, I’d probaby be out like a light, but right now, I’m fine. Sore, but fine. And clean, too. Mmm. I love baths, and I especially like the Oil of Olay bar soap. It smells so yummy and I’m so soft. 🙂 It’s fun to be clean.
Okay, okay. I’m going to bed. 🙂
