Highs and Lows

This morning I got up and walked/ran on the 'dread'mill.  I have found that music really does inspire!  Scientific breakthrough, I know.  I felt so good when I got done. High.

Then I came upstairs to read my scriptures.  But, then I remembered that I had to make lunches and that if I had gotten up when my alarm went off I would have had time to read AND make lunches.  Low.

(Don't worry I squeezed the reading in later.)

Our week to drive.  One of the fun things about parking in a garage and having a thermometer on the rear view mirror, is watching the temp drop, and drop, and drop.  We aren't gambling people but we do make 'bets' on what the temp will drop to by the time we get to school.   I was closest at 27, (High) though it would get to 21 by the time we pulled back into the garage.  Low.

Today I decided to clean up the upstairs hallway and laundry room.  This included dusting, picking up, throwing away, and emptying the laundry room of everything but the washer and dryer.  I cleaned each of those (inside and out), washed the baseboards, dusted, distributed lost items, vacuumed, mopped, and reassembled.  Shiny and oh so pretty! High!

When I came downstairs to put the mop away I saw the dirty kitchen table, a sink full of dishes, and a counter full of piles.  To the right I see blankets strewn across the living room floor and 4 cute dollies lined up in front of the tv.  Cords and remotes littered the coffee table.  Toys and papers tossed from the craft table the night before lay in disarray on the floor and windowsill.  Low.

My day will continue on mostly in this fashion.  I will most certainly take a shower at some point (HIGH!) but will probably miss out on naptime because of it (LOW!).  Dinner is in the crockpot so that part of the day will be easier (HIGH!) but the activities we have tonight probably won't allow us to get the dishes done (LOW!). 

I really don't have a point to all of this.  It's just a THAT'S LIFE kind of a day. 

I will do my best to, well, do my best. 

And hopefully, that will leave me at a nice, middle ground kind of feeling!
