At the beginning of the five day weekend I had good intention of getting some work done for school as well as doing some reading both for pleasure and for professional reasons. Now, we have come to another Sunday night and of course, I did not do what I intended to do, but I have to put it in perspective with what I did do this weekend.
1. I was reminded that I said I would edit a master's thesis for a friend of the family. I have been reading the thesis to edit it. It is due on the first and is 86 pages long. I have only finished about 1/4 of it. Trying to get to page 40 tonight so that I have two days to complete the other 46 pages.
2. I spent time with family and friends during the holidays.
3. I kept up with writing for my two blogs daily through the holiday. Only three more days to go!
4. I spent time with my children by taking them to lunch, the movies, and the library.
5. I helped to decorate for a wedding reception.
6. I raked the leaves and put fertilizer and grass seed down for the winter.
7. We went to buy our gifts for the giving tree at Church.
8. We went to Church this morning and then out to lunch.
9. I started the laundry so that we will have clothes to wear next week.
10. The reading that I did get done was reading the news on the computer, catching up on friend's blogs, and reading the ads to see if I wanted to go shopping on Black Friday.
Work will always be there when I get around to it. Time spent with people and doing the things that need to get done around the house are important also. As for my pleasure reading..., I usually find some time to get it in although with Christmas coming, it may not be until after that!
