Today started out like any other day. This morning, my alarm goes off at 6:00 a.m. and I jump out of bed. TGIF, the end of a hectic week. I was looking forward to Friday to get a couple of things accomplished. Each day this past week has started out very similar but today was different. I usually make a mental list of everything I need to handle. I already had a lot on my plate. No mental list. All I could think about was my dad in the hospital. It kinda paralyzed me from doing anything. So preoccupied with my thoughts, I never exercised. My sister had asked me yesterday if I would purchase Yankee playoff tickets Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. and then 2 minutes before they went on sale, the nurse's office from my daughter's high school called to say she wasn't feeling well. Another unexpected thing now on my to do list. So I picked her up from school and then headed over to mom's house to take care of my niece until it was time to pick up my son from school and then get my daughter across town in time for her hair appointment. After that it was a quick stop home so my son could change and then head back out to meet my sister at the train station with my son so they travel to Yankee Stadium!
Days like these turn in to months and then months and then before you know it, seasons change. I have been waiting a long time to handle things I keep pushing off till the next day and then I never get a chance to do it.
Tomorrow will be different only if I set the tone and write down what I expect to accomplish. Sure its OK to be flexible; I've tried to fit in things that unexpectedly pop up but then it makes me realize that I am only human and can only do so much. How come I have so much to do?
