WP Affair: Monday Motivation
Monday, April 9, 2007 at 12:41PM
From my time away on Wordpress.com:
My new efriend, Wendy P. at eMomsathome.com truly astonishes me with her knowledge, always upbeat attitude, inspiration, networking, connections and, above all, her ability to get things done!
I've got to mention her eMoms Birthday Party Contest -- you should check it out!
Also on her inspiration, I'm posting today on Monday Motivation in response to her challenge:
If I can accomplish Just Five Things each day, above & beyond the daily family management (getting kids to & from school, homework, meals, etc.), it’s a Good Day, so here’s Monday:
1.Blog(2): a Wendy blog & the blog I’ve been working on all morning.
2.Back up website & prep move to new host!
3.Make the bed & finish the laundry (same sexy life, Wendy!).
4.Make a dental appt (this is Huge, and is the result of #1, Part 2).
5. (This will be the reward, too, as I totally agree with Roberto on positive motivation and I am not touching the car in any way, except to gas up or drive it into the line at Cactus Car Wash!)Read THE TENDER BAR for Weds night Book Group, which I also need to prep for, since I’m the new coordinator for the Midtown (Atlanta) Book Group — yay!
OMG, it’s already 11:22! (Make that 12:30 - but I'm making progress here!)
Have a great day,
Sherri

moms that work in business especially at home have their own special challenge. i know because i did it for many years. you have to set up your priorities and you have to be gentle with yourself. you can not do everything but you want to do the things that are important.

Thanks, abetteryou, you are so right! One of my all-time favorite books is “All You Can Do Is All You Can Do, But All You Can Do Is Enough!” by A.L. Williams. The title alone is perfect, and I really enjoyed the book, too. I use that as a mantra sometimes, especially at times of stress. Today has been a Good Day. Still finishing up–

9:30pm - I’ve just put the (finally) folded laundry away and can cross off the final item on my list. It was a Good Day. On to Tuesday!
