Sunday-Egg hunt and day with friends family
Monday- new band practice
Tuesday-Son's soccer practice
Wednesday-new band practice
Thursday-old band set up for friday gig
Friday-Old band gig
Saturday-Photo shoot for new band-soccer game-beer drinking
Sunday- I hope nothing
Monday-New band practice
Tuesday-Sons soccer practice
Wednesdy-New band practice
Thursday-Sons soccer practice

Saturday-set up and play last gig for old band.


So how do you deal with busy scheduale. My personal favourite for overloaded scheduale is complete shutdown and ignore all.

Morning CF biggrin
So this must mean that band took you on. Yayyyy!!

Congrats!!! That's excellent.

Things are good over here - just a little restless because there's nothing left to do but wait for the settlement on the house to happen - which will be the 31st. Then on to a hotel for a few days while that lovely fat check goes through and we are OUT of here. Can't get here fast enough as far as we're concerned smile

It's funny - on the subject of busy schedules....I used to absolutely LOVE having a crazy, tightly packed agenda.
Not so much anymore. Getting old is a bitch tongue I still like to keep fairly busy - but I find that I require a few more hours for down time nowadays.

Okay, so I found this new method of doing the SG site while at work so I don't have all these open browser windows for my co-workers to spy when they are sneaking up behind me. Thank gawd for headphones at work ... and curses to the evil men who think it is funny to use my headphones against me as I jump 10' in the air when they are just suddenly behind me. tongue So what I do is have this page as the homepage on an Outlook folder and then IE never has to open up. The only problem with this method is that I will be typing a comment and then halfway through, forget what I'm doing and click on another folder. Bye bye, half finished comment. Like what just happened. I'm sure it was the most brilliant comment I was ever going to leave for you and I apologize that your life has been robbed of its wisdom and beauty because of my carelessness ... but I'll try again! This comment is like Tenacious D's Tribute song ... Suzy's tribute to the best comment ever written!

Shutting down works for me, too. It just doesn't work for any of the others around me. Some days I actually care about that. Most days ... meh!

But my #1 way of coping with overscheduling is to just forego sleep. My grandma used to tell me that you need less sleep as you get older and I have lived like I believed her for the last 25 years (because 16 IS older than say, 10).

Today someone brought brownies to work so at 9:35 AM I am flying high from 2 cups of coffee and 2 chocolatey things. That helps, too! Well, it doesn't clear the schedule ... but if feels like I can leap tall projects (and consequences) with a single bound. Geez, can't wait for 4:20 to roll around so I can *regulate* ... I think there is really something wrong with me this morning. eeek

kiss
