That pretty much describes how I am feeling about that part of my project. Like my sweet Ali Boo, I totally stink at being diligent with my sticker chart. I do many of the things that I listed on there and want to do, but I am horrible at remembering to look at it and recognize what I have and have not done.
I have learned that the craziness of life makes it tough to get to all of the things I expect from myself. Not to make excuses, but as everyone knows I go overboard with just about everything. I have found that I am not good at setting limits. I feel that I should be able to meet all expectations all of the time. So, I am learning to manage things better in my life.
I liked what Elder Scott said about doing the best you can in one area and then focusing on the next. I am the type of person who is constantly trying to improve to make everything better. Recognizing that I just need to improve...period...is the key.
This week I am focusing on being organized. I am so excited because I get to go to the Oprah show on Wednesday, bake for the Japan Relief Effort, celebrate our 5th temple anniversary, teach Relief Society and feed the missionaries. I know that if I stay on top of everything I can do it all. The tough part is making sure that I remember who is most important this week - Anthony, Ali and Sophi. My goal is to accomplish as much as I can when the girls are asleep and at school. I don't want other commitments to take over my priority which is my family.
All in all I am glad that I started this project. I have really loved doing the daily blog posts and am going to re-dedicate myself to my sticker chart.

you are awesome. i am glad you feel the same way, that you bite off more than you can chew. i feel that way when i look at my daily routine and all i am trying to accomplish. sometimes it's too much with all the interruptions, but slow and steady wins the race and little by little i'm getting better! good luck with everything you need to accomplish this week! you can do it!
i am so proud of you for doing the daily blog post. that is a BIG project but i like it. i think biting off more than we can is the Rabner way.
