Your baby is darling. I've...I love your post! Your baby is darling. I've just met you all, but I can't recall how. <br /><br />As for organizing for a multi-tasker, I finally had to pick a small task first. Small, as in one drawer or the top of my dresser. I've been following a book titled, "It's Here Somewhere." <br /><br />Next I streamlined and organized our master closet and included sorting and storing my too small clothes. Next was my desk, then my very, very messy master bathroom with closet. I knew I was done when I removed the card table I used for arranging my items and storage containers. It had lived in my bathroom for too many weeks. <br /><br />I don't have children at home now. Our three and their 11 children live thousands of miles away. I have a wonderful husband and a body that only allows work in short intervals--say one load in wash and one into the dryer, then rest. At rest I knit, mend, hand sew and plan sewing projects and most fun of all, I read. <br /><br />I'm happy you are energized. There have been many times I enjoy multi-tasking, even if I don't get as many things completed than I planned. It is a fun way to live, never boring. Prioritizing my spiritual goals and husband's requests and needs help me stay balanced. <br />Jesus' blessings to you and your family. <br />LindaTerry and Linda Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686568947661023865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-81179687980520853292011-11-09T22:08:38.421-06:002011-11-09T22:08:38.421-06:00I'm glad Annabelle is doing so well. She looks...I'm glad Annabelle is doing so well. She looks great--and happy. That's a testimony to her loving family, including her dear mommy who is doing an amazing job.<br /><br />Dear Krista, while I admire your desire to accomplish great things and tackle impressive To-do lists, I hope you can rest in the knowledge that you're doing what's most important. You're caring for your family, making a home, and working on your stories. I know you're used to keeping to a schedule at work, but running a home has far more unpredictable elements than the workplace. Maybe focusing on what you did accomplish rather than those things you didn't get done will help you overcome feelings of falling short.<br /><br />OK, my pep talk is over. I'll end with a cyber hug and an "Atta girl!" because you deserve one. =)Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-78283289773446514852011-11-09T20:29:01.605-06:002011-11-09T20:29:01.605-06:00Love the Annabelle pics.

I'll have a whole list of things that I've started but that aren't completed. I'm always telling my boys to finish what they start before they move on to something else. I think I need to take my own advice.<br /><br />But I guess I would have to say that in the end, it is all about balance.Tammi T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-12764541052362601532011-11-09T14:24:46.205-06:002011-11-09T14:24:46.205-06:00100% of zero?

But again, if taken too far, even that can be a bad thing. I have an illness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and if I over-do it, I pay big-time with severe fatigue and mild flu-like symptoms. Because of CFS, I also get over-done very quickly. So if I'm in the middle of cleaning the bathroom or mopping the floors and I start to feel worn down, I SHOULD stop and rest. But not miss finish-what-she-started! Instead I finish that task, sometimes add another task (and finish it) and then crash for the next week unable to do much of anything. So we all need to find balance, I suppose :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803311494407663499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-50808698339901200872011-11-09T09:27:43.256-06:002011-11-09T09:27:43.256-06:00She's a sweetie! Glad you included the picture...She's a sweetie! Glad you included the pictures. <br /><br />I am a multitasker - but some things just aren't done well this way. I'm just realizing this lately. lol My goal is to get several projects out of the way this week. If I finish, I will come and help you...I would for real if we lived closer! :)Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-89776558389738513212011-11-09T08:10:40.936-06:002011-11-09T08:10:40.936-06:00Since little miss doesn't want to really eat, ...Since little miss doesn't want to really eat, maybe try a snack while in the high chair, called Baby Mum-Mum. It's like a small rice cake that disolves when it goes in their mouth. The little one we watch loved them and so did my nephew.Audreynoreply@blogger.com
