If ants are such busy workers, then how do they find time to go to all the picnics?!Busy seems to be a word that pops into my vocabulary much too frequently! I have reached a point where saying, "I'm so busy," just seems so ridiculous. For some reason, it can too easily become a catch-all phrase to rationalize everything that goes unaccomplished in our lives-- "sorry I didn't call... I've been so busy"; "I didn't get to that yet-- I've been so busy!"; "sorry we didn't make it, we were just so busy!"
Everyone is busy these days. We are all over-committed, tired, and running crazy. That's life-- unfortunately! Keeping a full plate has been the way I have always operated, so I am ashamed to say that I am used to this way of living. Thankfully, I am blessed to have plenty of stretches where life is calm and peaceful-- but, those don't last too long before I have put myself back into "busy mode."
Why? I have this overwhelming need to be "useful" and "needed." Somewhere in my crazy mind, I guess if I am busy then those needs are met-- "I must be valuable because I always have things to do." And, since this is part of my "reward" for staying busy, I actually enjoy it-- no matter how crazy it gets! I need help, huh?! :)
So-- my latest task to undertake is running a consignment sale at church! I am VERY excited about it even though it is going to be a ton of work. I am also working with a great bunch of people to help pull it off. All the proceeds will go toward building a new playground at our new location. I designed the entire web site in one "busy" afternoon! Check it out and get involved if you're near! www.ottercreeksale.com
Mother's Day was great this year! So hard to believe I have two kiddos! They are truly a blessing and joy! They are probably the only "legitimate" item on my busy list!
