Busy

For the last 3 1/2 weeks I have been so busy I haven't done laundry, much less blog. I started working out with a group of people from church every morning, and following a more strict diet than I would normally do. Both of these things are extremely important, but they also take up quite a bit of time. I went from my life being pleasantly crowded to crazy-busy.

I have not really had any trouble sticking to my Lenten fast. I have not broken the fast at all and I have only been tempted a few times. I have not been very good at the focusing/praying/etc part of Lent, which is really the whole point.

I need to find ways to de-stress my life, I just don't really see much that I can give up. I spent Tuesday nights hanging out with my Grandma. I could stop doing that, nothing is locking me into that activity but it is important and I don't know how much more time I will have with her. I am on a Board that is important to me, it is only 1 night a month and I can't really give it up for awhile and then go back to it. I would basically have to give it up forever. I can't give up my jobs, because we need the money and there really isn't anywhere else to cut out of our budget. Luckily I just have to make it through 8 more weeks and then it will be summer. I will go from crazy-busy to crazy-bored.
