It always cracks me up that people tell me how hard it is to train them selves to pick things up and put them away etc... I had to train myself to learn to leave them lay and not be so obsessed with it all the time. <br /><br />I have trouble with the eating breakfast and lunch regularly during school, also. I do okay when hubby is home but when we are in the midst of school I get so absorbed I kind of forget. Because of my diabetes, the kids will look at me and see I am getting kind of funny like I haven't eaten recently enough and hand me some fruit or something... which I usually eat while running between kids lessons or the washing machine. Oh, well... maybe what my grandmother said was true... if you eat standing up it goes down better? ☺<br /><br />Staying up late is a big problem for me, too. Hubby is a night owl and I like to get up early but if I want time alone with him I need to stay up late... either he is on the road late or he is trying to spend time with the kids since he is gone so many evenings. I end up burning the candle at both ends quite often... in more recent years I have tried to force myself to lay down for a few minutes in the afternoon... of course, I love to use nap time to get "my things" done. What a great problem to have, don't you think? Lives so wonderfully full that we have no time to sleep? <br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />KatKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214169887240603175noreply@blogger.com
