I'm totally off the wagon...

Prior to this summer I had gotten really good about meal planning, once a week grocery shopping, budgeting, and working out daily. Slowly, my priorities changed as the days of summer started setting in. And I am officially off the wagon in all areas previously mentioned. Running?? What's that? My treadmill is covered in dust and my brand new running shoes are white as can be. Ugh. I'm quite certain my gas and grocery budget needs to be drastically altered and should have been 2 months ago, but we are squeezing by. So today is the day. Bode and Ayla are sleeping. Brigg and Lani are resting for one hour, and I am updating my planner and budget. My planner was still on the June 1st page. Life has just gotten away from me.
Last week I started following the http://www.flylady.com/ "system" and it's been working out pretty well for me. So today I need to get the rest of my life back in order. I have little doctor and dentist appt reminders thrown in my purse and I know those dates are coming up. When school starts, I need to have a schedule in place or I am going to have one very grumpy baby who gets awoke from her naps daily, making for one very grumpy mommy. Off I go...planning away.

Wow... I could copy and paste that whole post (minus the names) into my blog, because I've been doing all the same things. I started flylady last week after I heard it mentioned in three separate blogs, and after realizing that since summer started, I've had absolutely no systems in my life at all. I've outgrown most of my clothes because it is impossible to excersize without my kids in school. But, my sink is shiny right now! Is yours?
