...was wondering how it's possible to do it all.

Wow... to do list. Ever-growing.

I'm a list maker. I have lists for everything. It's the only way I can keep all my commitments and responsibilities straight. But, as I look over the list I wonder if there is anyone that can do it all. I know this is the age-old issue for women - how can you be a great Mom, rise to the top of your profession, take care of your house, have a social life, stay fit and stay up on everything current?

I don't know how to do it all, but today I decided to try. Try to be the best I can at each of it. I'm writing this at the end of the day and I definitely wasn't perfect, but having a goal to kick-ass at everything gave me drive and I feel like I accomplished a lot though I crossed very few things off my to-do lists.

My most important accomplishments today:
  • Getting Meagan to school close to on-time;
  • Picking her up from art class close to on-time;
  • Having a dance party with her at home;
  • Playing around with her on the computer;
  • Reading with her;
  • Laughing with her;
  • Getting new business leads at work;
  • Making it to the gym;
  • Finding time to talk to some of my favorite people in the world; AND
  • UPDATING MY BLOG!
Sure, my list of urgent past-due items is long, but who can say my day wasn't successful when I can list all that off? Why is it I still feel I haven't done enough? Maybe if I find a way to sleep less I can do more.

Off to check more items off my list...
