Why I do What I do:)
Today I am so grateful for the sunshine. I have so many things I need to do and yet I have so little motivation. I have come to the conclusion that my mood is based on the weather - when it is cloudy and overcast so am I . . .when it is sunny and warm so am I.
I needed a sunny day so I can find the motivation to get up and get some things done. I sometimes feel like I do nothing and I need to get a life. Yeah, I feel that way a lot actually and I am pretty sure that that is Satan talking in my head trying to make me feel like a loser. But when I take a moment I know that that is not true that I am actually a pretty busy person with lots on my plate.
For example right now these are things I am working on:
Stake Youth Conference - Hubby and I are in charge of our stake youth conference this year and there is so much to do, infact, I realized that the reason I kept putting it off was because I really didn't even know where to start but yesterday I made myself sit down and do something and well we got a plan together and it is gonna work.
Elk Grove Musical Theatre Company: Yes, I am President (whatever that means, I have tons of help from some wonderful women whom I admire greatly and couldn't to this without them) of this little childrens theatre company and I am also producing our spring show "Beauty and the Beast". As you might guess this does take a little bit of time. Right now I am working on designing t-shirts and getting them to the printer. Ahh, if you know me at all you know that I am not a visionary, am not creative and this little job of getting t-shirts made was another overwhelming task. I didn't know where to start and so I kinda put it off but I think I have come up with an ok design and found a printer and will get those shirts to the printer today or tomorrow. Thank goodness for the internet where I can find logos to copy. . .saved my life.
Strauss Festival - This year I am directing. Ahh, why did I say yes? I ask myself this question often. I love the Strauss Festival. It has been a part of my life for 22 years and I just love to be involved. I really have no idea what I am doing but once again I am surrounded by some amazing people who make me look good.
Luckily all of these responsibilities have different "crazy busy" times - April will be crazy busy with EGMTC, May and beginning of June will be busy with youth conference and July it will be Strauss. And in between it I still have a family to cook for, to clean up after, launder and love. And speaking of my family they are pretty great and don't get upset when the above mentioned things don't get done because I am busy with other things.
I just want to say to my fellow bloggers "THANK YOU" for inspiring my with your words, life lessons, and funny stories. I read your blogs and realize that we are all pretty much the same. We are all just trying to do the best we can and sometimes we fall way short of our goal but other times we rock! I love you all and keep posting because even if I don't comment I still love reading your stories and they make me smile and movitivate me to be a better person.
I guess I need to get off of here and go make some good use of this beautiful sunny day. Have a great day everyone.
P.S. I forgot to mention that I am also Choir Booster president for the Sheldon High Choir program and I am in the midst of planning a trip to disneyland. Whoever, said being Mom is an easy job has never been a MOM.
