Where did the time go!!

I am super excited to be going to Indiana soon, can you tell I bring it up a lot.  Anyways, I have had a big list of things to get done all ready for a while and I have stayed on top of things for the most part, but what in the world happened to this week??  Where did it go??  It's Friday and I feel like I have gotten zero done this week.  Do you ever have those weeks?  I did get some things done, but all the sudden I feel a little overwhelmed.  So the plan for today is to get lots done.  I am trying my best to not do much cleaning and such this weekend, for 2 reasons.  1. for some reason even though there are 2 parents home on the weekend, my house gets 10 times messier it seems.  2.  And since Steven isn't going with us right away I want to get to have some fun before we leave.

So this morning I have to set out to prioritize my list.  The garage probably doesn't need to be cleaned before we leave and the girls' closets probably don't need a complete overhaul.  Why do I do this though.  Anytime I am about to go on a trip I come up with this list of things that magically need to get done now, because i have a deadline.  Why not just do it another time when I don't have that pressure.  It's because I like the pressure.  Even in school I always wrote my best papers at the last minute.  So I'll spend today and Monday getting tons done, hopefully, and then be shocked it all got done.  It's what I do.

On a good note, for the past 2 weeks once a week I have been going on and running/walking a mile.  I still can't run a whole mile, but that's okay because I decided I would go out just once a week and do just a mile.  Well I do a short warm up walk and cool down walk, but the goal is to do a mile as fast as i can with as much running as I can.  Last week when I did this it took me 12:40 to get it done.  Honestly I was surprised with myself.  My goal was for it to be under 15 minutes, so I was happy with a 12:40.  This week it was 10:40.  2 minutes faster!  That may not be fast to many people , but it is faster than I did the mile run in school.  At any age.  Yay!  I am now convinced though that my gps is off and that it wasn't possibly a whole mile.  I should think positive though, I'm sure it was a mile. I think...I may have to do it again this weekend just to check.
