I am making a very strong attempt to organize things around here. I am picking away at my house, jumped into my checkbooks (personal and business), started keeping an organizer, and I'm on day 3 of the 30-day plan with Chance. Actually on day 6 if I count the clinic. But I won't count it because this new schedule is completely on my time. I am 100% responsible for making time every day to do something with my horse.
Day 1- We went for a walk to the apple tree. On the way I worked on asking him to change his thoughts. The bugs were horrible so we kept it short.
Day 2- Ground work, tacked up at the trailer, rode in the ring. My ring is not nearly big enough for what I want to do.
Day 3- This morning I started moving fencing around. I'm still not crazy about what I have done so this afternoon I'll make more changes.
I went out later and took down another fence. This might work. Then I worked with Chance's feet and started cleaning his sheath. He is not really crazy about this job so I will break it down and do a little at a time.
This is also day 3 of going to bed with a clean sink and dishes washed in the dish washer. The livingroom is picked up and the laundry is almost caught up. One would think that these things would be done all the time. I'm not making excuses and I don't even have young kids anymore. But life IS hectic. I am working 2 part-time jobs and getting trained to drive a school bus along with the animals, my older kids and the oldest kid of them all, my husband. I have always had a hard time prioritizing, usually there is so much that I just take on the task that is staring me in the face and can't wait any longer. I always feel like I am trying to catch up, rushing through things and not paying attention to detail. I am on a mission to change all of this. This may or may not last but if I don't make some changes I feel like I'm going to self-destruct.

Hey, sorry about the rough spot with Chance. Sounds like there is more learning happening. That is good even if we wish it didn't need to happen, right? *g*
Are you connected with FlyLady.net? When you said clean sink I thought of that. Something that has stuck with me even though I am not actively involved with their support of organizing, etc.
Hugs.
