Well, I’m wondering if my Sunday night Pass out wasn’t from dehydration.  I started guzzling fluids from the time I woke up and that included Gatorade, Coconut Water (2) a fruit smoothie and at least a gallon of water throughout the day.  The more I drank, the more I wanted.  The more I drank; the more alert I became.

I can’t say enough about making sure you get enough fluids.
I’m normally a big water drinker, but I have been so busy lately, I am well aware how much I haven’t been drinking.

We require a lot of our bodies, yet how many of us take care of it in the way that would allow it to respond to our demands?

I think if we were cars; most of us would be filling our gas tanks with SAND!!!

But as we invest in our cars and we NEED them to get us where we want to go; we take WAY better care of our cars than we do our bodies.

I woke up this morning feeling revitalized.  My brain feels clear and I feel pretty alert.  I actually woke up, went to my desk and started writing my short-term plan between now and the end of this year.

Clearly, my body was in need of hydration.  Because yesterday I couldn’t form a thought to save my life.

Every so often I stop to evaluate things in my life.  I’m far from perfect and many times I feel like I’m buried in a hole and looking up; feeling I’ll never get out.  It’s those times I wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling.

I’m tired of feeling buried, so I start making plans.  But more often than not I get sidetracked along the way (much like a New Years Resolution) and steer off path.

This morning I kind of woke up with a “What the hell are you thinking?” mindset   – and thus the short-term plan.

This school year has been set off a’runnin’.  Haven’t had much time to rest.  It’s the same every school year. I think I will scale it down; but end up with a fuller than full schedule.

I am always in awe of parents who have it all together. (or at least APPEAR to be).  The ones that volunteer for the big things like PTA or Foundation.  That’s a whole year commitment.  I would certainly drop the ball on something!!!  I forget to put things on my calendar like, you know….picking up my kid!!!

I tell the teachers at the beginning of the year that I am good at Pinch hitting.  I can’t guarantee a whole year, but if you need something last-minute, I’m your gal.

This year I signed up for a weekly reading group.  Today is my day.  I will do my best to finish the story before I go in today; because truth is; I forgot to read it all.  Thankfully I’m a pretty quick reader.

I really hate being all over the place but more often than not the important stuff gets done.

I’m just glad I woke with a clear head today.  It will make achieving my tasks that much easier.

Happy Wednesday
