How To Get Caught UP...?

That is a good question. I've been thinking about it for some time... I am desperately behind schedule on some projects. I am in dire need of a personal assistant. It can't be my wife....

I'm going to be in prayer about this. Serious prayer. The next business decision I make has absolutely got to be God inspired and God endorsed...! I just need to go slow and wait on His Perfect Timing....

Relaxing....

I'm taking the advice of my two kitties Gabriel and Hobbes. I'm relaxing a bit this evening. Monica, Connor, and Elijah are at church this evening. I'm teaching lessons on Wednesday evening for the next eleven weeks. Tonight I had a lite schedule.

It seems really strange to be sitting here in a quiet house. I've got my lap top on my lap and I've got an episode of Star Trek Enterprise running in the background. I don't know if I'll be able to acheive the relaxed state that Gabriel and Hobbes but I'm working on it.

I've got a busy next few days ahead of me. Tomorrow I go to Dallas for a Tennis conference. Then I fly back Friday evening. Saturday I have a full day of lessons, and I've also got a tennis social scheduled for this Sunday afternoon. I'm pretty busy all next week, too.

Actually, now that I think about it, tonight might be my only chance to relax for the next ten days or more...

Oh well, that's the crazy life of Coach Sam...!

New Week....

OK... The super bowl has come and gone... I really wasn't in to it this year. Actually, I haven't been into it since I was in 6th grade...

This will be an interesting week. As usual I've got way too much stuff to do and not enough time to do it in...

I was just thinking this morning that my life has no slow down in sight. No sanity on the near horizon.

I've got to come up with a plan to get caught up and stay there. I don't know exactly what that looks like but I'll figure it out.

At first it's got to just be taking things one minute, one circumstance at a time. Little by little it will all work itself out.

I suppose the 'simple' plan is to just complete some projects I already have on the table before I take on any more new projects... And when I get these current projects completed then I need to be extra careful to not take on more than I can handle.

It's crucial that I get a handle on this immediately because I don't Elijah and Connor to be deprived of a dad because he's always too busy and stressed out.

OK... That's pretty much it. The order of the day is to teach lessons this morning from 8:30 to 10 AM, then come home and help Monica with Elijah until she has to go to her art class. Connor takes over with Elijah around 3:30 PM and I head to Bay City for lessons this evening.

There's not really going to be time for anything else today. But that's ok becaue I'm looking forward to an extended day with the Boo Boo...!
