Simplify

I have a calendar I check from time to time for goofy holidays. It's just for fun -- I always look for a reason to celebrate each day! So, I come across that it's 'Simplify Your Life Week', and boy, that grabs me. Just in the last little bit, I have been feeling like I'm constantly a day late and a dollar short. Maybe it all started with the computer dying. I know the summer is going out at full speed -- back to school shopping, getting ready for guests visiting, then the guests visiting, appointments, meetings, church stuff, yard work, the never-ending to-do list.... whoa there, girl!

Take a deep breath.

I know how to fix all this. [First of all, get the Sweet Girl back to school and the routines come back!] Okay, besides that. I need to simplify. I need to get back to the basics; my routines. I'm a Flybaby, and for those of you who don't know what that this, visit here. I have really fallen off my daily and weekly routines. Menu planning, calendaring, having a plan for our projects -- not happening. Some of this comes with summer being here, when things are more loosey-goosey. But having simple, regular routines in your life brings peace. I could use a little peace right now. I'm all for a little more method and a little less madness.

This is the week to start.
