I love writing. I still write letters and will continue even if it’s not the hip thing to do.  However, I have been lacking in the writing department lately.  I feel somewhat overwhelmed.  It’s my own fault. I got myself into this mess. I am the Box Tops for Education coordinator at my son’s elementary school.  I love Box Tops.  It’s free money for our school and who couldn’t use some free money especially the schools.  The deadline for the last submission is approaching and I am knee deep in Box Tops. They are all counted, but I am hoping for more so we can reach our goal.  Then there is the art program in school. Our small school district has one art teacher and he goes from school to school.  He will start teaching at my son’s elementary school in March.  Until then, I have been teaching art in my son’s 1st grade class.  It’s a lot of fun, but can be a lot of work too.  Finally, there is the Tiger Cub den that I lead.  We meet every Wednesday and I really need to start delegating.  It just seems easier to just have the activity planned and then ask for help.  So those are the things that I do on top of my transcribing that I do at home, being a wife and mother and trying to get in some me time. Oh, and my 1st grader starts soccer next month.  I have a friend who is very talented. She started a blog about the projects she has done.  They are great. It has inspired me to do some projects of my own.  My sweet husband got me a Silhouette machine (kind of like a Cricut) and I have been learning to use it.  I want one whole day just to create.  I don’t see that happening in the near future, but I have lots of ideas.  I have also noticed that my blogs aren’t as up to date as they should be.  I don’t think I am managing my time wisely.  So with projects to create, box tops to count, scout meetings to plan, art to teach, and blogs to write I really need to get the ball rolling.  There really is enough time in the day. I just need to use it!
