The great move of 2010

This has been an extremely stressful week for me. We are in the process of moving my mom from her home in the panhandle to a town near Ft. Worth and we have hit every obstacle you can think of:

1) the help that I originally planned was not able to make it (and they had the moving tow)

2) Planning a move like this last minute cost a small fortune, not to mention

3) the snow and ice hit West Texas on the one day of the month that we planned the move and delayed our flight(s) yes I said that with an (s)!

So, 2 delayed flights later and what will be 24 hours late (we lost a day waiting), lots of phone calls and time on hold with the airlines - we will be on our way to move - even with one less day we will accomplish the move within a few hours and hit the road to return on the same day we arrive. Am I frustrated???? ummmm slightly :) Will I be okay??? Definitely!!!!! I'm already feeling better :)

Boy will I be glad when all is said and done and everyone is rested and safely home where they belong :)

On a good note as we waited to hear about our flight Scott got a much needed nap in and I was able to catch up on some work.

AND one other awesome thing happened..... I will share it with you tomorrow!

Have a great night everyone.

Lists lists lists

I'm drowning in lists :)

I am very much a list person and I thought with the great invention of the Blackberry it would help me to do away with all my lists but..... that is not the case. I'm not sure if my b-berry helps with stress or adds to it since it has made a way for 24 hour access to me through my b-berry!

Basically.... to some extent it has taken over my life :) Just recently I realized that I have lists, lots of lists everywhere and I had to ask myself why I am not using my phone like I used to for organizing. After thinking about it long and hard I realized this, I do not use it for organizing anymore because it is just one more "alarm or alert" that goes off among the many other ones. This dilemma has made me revert back to lists. haha!

I have also realized that as I work through the things on my list I feel so empowered as I cross them off one by one. I feel like I am accomplishing BIG things! I have a list pad by the door, in my car, in my purse and by my bed so that one is always available at my jotting pleasure.

Anyways, are you a list person like me?

Before I walk out the door I make my list of what I need to accomplish today - I am actually thinking about going old school and reverting back to an actual planner that you would write on with a pen! Do they still sell those anywhere?

Shocking right!? haha

Have a beautiful day today as you work on crossing things off your list.
