This Past Week

This past week I have been trying hard to learn my new chore routine. I haven't got it down yet, but I will keep trying. It doesn't help that this is the part of my cycle where I am so tired that I feel like I am trying to walk through water and there is a good chance if I sit on the couch I WON'T be able to keep my eyes open. I have started taking my vitamins and that seems to be helping. I think cutting calories so drastically has really affected me, it has made it harder for me to concentrate, which is why I haven't been blogging as much. I just haven't been able to keep a thought focused. But since I have taken my vitamins again and with food to aid my body in absorbing them I am starting to be able to think again.

Have you ever tried to tweak a budget or pay bill with your brain on hold? It is a funny sight. Or how about cleaning the house with a fuzzy brain, you go into one room and have no idea what for. Or you start cleaning something, get interrupted and can't remember what you were doing. But now that my brain is starting to clear, I am sure that I will be able to get back into blogging. And maybe I need to keep a pen and pencil handy to jot down my thoughts so that I don't lose them so quickly, lol!

I was blessed with some early Christmas shopping by purchasing something for a really great price. I won't say here what it is, because my sons regularly read this blog. It does feel good to be starting Christmas planning. I would really like to be completely finished before Thanksgiving so that I could focus on decorating and cooking and enjoying the season. And also so that we can focus on Jesus more. It is so hard to communicate to the children that Christmas is about Jesus if I am spending all my time shopping and wrapping and agonizing over how I don't have enough money to buy so and so the gift I want to. So my goal is to have it all done descreetly before Thanksgiving. Hopefully my brain fog clears completely so that I can do this in and organized manner.
