As I sit here today, I feel as though my life is whizzing by at such speed. I'm spinning so many plates that I am beginning to procrastinate about the overwhelming 'TO DO' list I now live by.
2011 was always going to be a busy year. My first year at uni. Ellen's final year at secondary school,. GCSE exams, prom, college applications. Both my daughters have milestone birthdays. Abbey is 13 in March and Ellen is 16 in August. I also have a milestone birthday as I will be turning 21 (lol, not really, I wish). FORTY when did that happen........................ Abbeys is having a party, I am also having a party. I am off to Spain for five days with my school friends and India for a month, Doug's hoping to take the girls to Dubai. I have assignments, presentations and a six week school placement to complete too. I have a fundraising evening to organise and a sponsored silence and saree evening to prepare for. I also have things like inoculations, visas, passport and travel itinerary to plan. AND I haven't even begun thinking about my wardrobe for all these events. I could cope more if all these events were equally spaced over the year but there not. Apart from Ellen's actual birthday all of these things are taking place in between March and the beginning of July. I feel as if I would benefit from my own personal secretary.
But hey! I got myself into all this and I will be the one digging myself out. I would like to be optimistic and say, next year will be a quieter one. But I very much doubt that. Life is for living and I still have so much more I want to achieve. I am not, and have never been a person who just plods along. I need a goal, a aim, a focus. I need something to excite me and something to get me up in the morning. I look at women who don't do anything apart from look after their kids and homes and I cringe. Some women love it, but its not for me.
