Setting my priorities is what it’s all about. Thank goodness we have weekends, is all I have to say.
My priorities should be simple. I just have to determine what’s most important to put at the top of my list for the day. We normally start our morning “ooh-ing and ah-ing” over yesterdays new bead treasures. Hot beads have to be annealed, so we let them cool down in the kiln overnight. That part is easy. We brew a pot of coffee and enjoy.
Breakfast has to be served to the family, of course. There’s no skipping mealtime when we’re all diabetic. We have to test, take shots, and make sure our meal is healthy and balanced. By 7:30am, Jake is off to school and Garrett is getting up to start his day (Repeat the morning meal part.) Once Garrett has gone to school at 9:00am, then it’s time for me. Can I make some beads now? That won’t be happening if I’m going to manage to feed our menagerie of pets, get ready for work, and be there by 10:00am.
When I arrive at work, my boss is looking for more bead necklaces to put out for sale on the counter. I can do this, if I can just prioritize properly, can’t I? After work, I can make some beads for sure!
Once work is done for the day, I’ll have to retrieve Garrett from baseball practice, and simultaneously pick up Jake from his tennis match (20 miles away), and get back in time to go to cub scouts with him. I can do this. I think I can!
Oops, it’s time to make some dinner. The dog wants to go out. My boyfriend wants to spend some time with me. Dinner is on the table. The testing kits are ready. Shots are drawn. I can do this!
Is it the weekend yet? Can I make some beads NOW?
As soon as the laundry is done…
