So much to do, so little time

The last few weeks have been very stressful as I have been preparing to move back to Alabama, my home state. I am so looking forward to being home again, there is just so much to get done. Pack all of my stuff, sell some stuff, give some away and donate some. Has been lots of work, to say the very least. Of course moving always is stressful. Some folks don't seem to mind moving, myself on the other hand, absolutely deplore it and would rather take a beating and let someone else do the moving.

I have been making necklaces and paper bead crosses, packing my stuff, organizing, making last minute phone calls, visiting with friends, tying up loose ends and it has taken it's tole on me. One of my dear friends looked at me yesterday and said you look tired. Only a good friend tells you stuff like that. She said you have dark circles under your eyes. I said yeah I know, I haven't been getting much sleep lately. Seems like such a waste of time when there is so much to get accomplished. I have to get more organized and realize that when it is time to go to bed to just go to bed. What good does it do to stay up so late and then get up early and feel horrible all day?

So with God's help, I am going to start going to bed earlier. I am one of those night owl people that get really productive late at night. Then I crash around 2 am and want to sleep until 10 or so. I really can't afford to sleep that late so I have been going to bed around 2am and getting up between 7 and 8:30am so needless to say I have been very tired as of late. Why do we do these things to ourselves when we know full well that we are only hurting ourselves? Wasn't it the Apostle Paul that said in essence that he did the opposite of what he wanted to do at times? Sure seems like that is me here lately. I plan to go to bed early and get up early and be all productive and awesome and then here I go again with the 2 am necklace making and cleaning and such, and then I am toast the next morning. No more!!! It is now 12:17 am and I am going to bed!!! Goodnight friends.
