Another terrible night – turns out that smallest has a stinking cold and as such she keeps coughing and disturbing herself. So another very broken night (suspect tonight will be much the same, so this is going to be a quick update before I sprint off to start grabbing my 40 minute naps).
No running – my running gear was in the washing machine languishing in the machine. At least I got it rinsed through and hung out, even taking the baby out in the sunshine with me while I hung out a load. She really enjoyed pottering about the garden. Made me realise we should be doing more of it now that the temperature is climbing.
Other achievements were somewhat limited by overly clingy baby. But with encouragement via email and twitter from Joyce and Merry I managed to deal with a letter I found yesterday.
Confession time. I know that I come across as suave, sophisticated, organised and confident (rolls around laughing, cries a bit, wipes eyes) but in reality, I’m a neurotic worrier who lives in chaos. Hence the whole 30 day thing, to try to get out of the rut that I’m in and organise myself so as not to get in to any more in the future. One of the things that has been weighing on me is a bunch of financial documentation that’s very out of date, and like I said, yesterday I found a letter telling me that it’s so out of date I was heading in to trouble.
My brain shut down. I scrabbled around trying to find the bits of paper I needed and failing dismally. But Merry took me in hand and talked me in to making a phonecall, and now I have 21 days to sort my finances out.
Which fits in quite nicely with organising everything in 30 days really 😉
Once the phonecall was done with, I felt a lot better. Even though I have no idea where all the paperwork is – but at least now I’ve got a deadline to sort it all out, and ppl helping me to do it. (I include you lot in that btw, your support has been invaluable so far). And after that I managed getting to the sports centre for swimming lessons, sending a few emails, and writing a post for the tots100 bloghop.
There’s a lot more outstanding. But I’m beginning to feel like I can make it through. If I can get through days like today with very little sleep, what can’t I do?
Are you inspired to deal with anything you’ve been avoiding? Do tell us about it, and drop me a link in the comments so I can visit and be encouraging to you too. And if you’re joining in the 30dayplan, let me know about that too.
