Living Haphazardly

I've been steadily streaming toward a brick wall... the brick wall of Dissatisfaction. On Saturday, I hit it. I have been so dissatisfied with so many areas of my life for so long. I need discipline and organization. Can't I just snap my fingers and be changed?! That would be nice.
Sooo... in my quest for a more organized life, I've decided to take up blogging.
Blogging = Organized?
Hmmm... well, I hope so!

Some of the pros (from my point of view):

1. I can jot down my thoughts at the end of the day.


2. I can share my life with others


3. I can share home school victories and gain insight from others


4. I can share my jewelry designs and get my business more organized


5. I will meet lots of like-minded and lovely people!

THE con:

1. I may get addicted, enthralled, engrossed, absorbed, consumed with this new past-time!
   

Although there is only one con, it is a very large one! It is my main qualm. But I think I still want to have a go at blogging and I can always ditch it if it starts to take over my life.

I picked up the book, "Managers of Their Homes" last night (finally, after having it for almost a year!) and decided that I'm going to begin implementing a daily schedule. I NEED ONE! I think it will really help me keep my sanity and my daughters will also benefit from a feeling of order. My thinking on schedules directly imitated that of one of the Moms who wrote a testimonial for the book:

"I didn't think I could stick to a schedule. I didn't want to be rigid about everything; it seemed too stressful. But, this reaction was mostly motivated by a desire to NOT be totally accountable for my time. Or not wanting to set myself up for failure."

I read that and sighed, "Yes, you put the words to my feelings!"

So, no more living haphazardly for me. Onward I go into a more disciplined life! (help Jesus!)
