One More Thing

Should I start a blog?  I always have these ideas, thoughts, and lists.  What should I call it?  I’m thinking “justanotherlist” or “justanothernote” since I have things written all over the place.  I have journals, lists in my iPhone, lists in my head, paper by my bed for jotting down whatever in the middle of the night.  

Today as I drive the kiddos to school, frustrated by how late we are (a common theme this week…lateness), I’m thinking about scaling back.  People talk about eliminating unnecessary things, letting go to get more time, saying no when they say yes too much.  What can I NOT do to get more time for the things I WANT to do?  Here’s the kicker.  I cannot think of anything to eliminate.  I’ve already practically eliminated cleaning my house.  I don’t do anything frivolous.  What, cut out going to the bathroom?  I do dishes, laundry, drop off/pick up, snack and meal prep and clean up, water plants, wipe butts, give baths (although I must give credit to my husband for the majority of this duty), read stories…  I guess I could go with fake plants to eliminate watering (my massive collection of nine plants), but then I would have to dust them.  Alas, at the end of the day I didn't eliminate...I added...a blog.  One More Thing.
