Goals I am working on:
Start daily walking and stretching again
Worry less
Be calm
Plan some travel/getaway time into our lives
Get out in the garden every day, even if I only get a tiny bit of yard work done it will all add up. Right...?

Projects I am working on:
Never-ending list of house repairs
Animal rescue volunteer work. I usually foster just one dog at a time now that I have a toddler. I also maintain the rescue group's master list of foster animals. It's my job to try and keep track of all our critters. It gets very confusing!
Backyard birding. I've become interested in learning about birds and learning to identify the bird species in my backyard. I've id'd about 25 species so far. My husband calls me The Bird Nerd. Right now I am focusing on building a nesting box for Carolina Wrens. See? Nerdy, huh?
Never seem to make progress on this goal--time! time! Never enough!

My Day: 18th April 2008
1 thing I want to remember about today ... |
I got stuff done around the house and felt I could cope with all the to-do stuff. Not feeling overwhelmed by it all anymore, which is great. I have some caulking and painting to do this weekend and I'm actually looking forward to tackling it iinstead of dreading it.
What was most challenging today ... |
Having to manage without my laptop, which is in the shop.
What made me the happiest ... |
5 minutes of quiet (okay - might have been more!) between M going to bed and husband getting home. Ahh, sweet silence.
My day in one word ... |
Productive
My awesome accomplishment for the day ... |
Got a little pruning time in out in the yard. Not much, but every little bit helps.

animal
love.
I
rescued
a
baby
sparrow
from
a
crow
that
plucked
him
out
of
its
nest
the
other
day.
I
saw
him
do
it
and
yelled
at
him
as
he
was
snatching
him,
he
was
startled
and
dropped
the
tiny
bird
to
the
ground.
I
went
over
and
picked
it
up
and
put
it
back
into
the
nest.
So
far
so
good,
Score
is
baby
sparrow
(1)
and
crow
went
hungry.

Hi
Diane,
I'm a huge animal lover myself! I've always done fundraising for animal welfare and have worked at the ASPCA, and 2 local humane societies. Now I work part time for the Marine Mammal Stranding Center - they rescue and release seals, sea turtles, dolphins and whales! I do lots of fostering - right now mostly kittens. Nice to 'meet' you! ordinarywmn 5th May

for
the
welcome
and
stopping
by!

Thank
you,
neighbor!
You
are
right.
I
am
an
instructor
for
survival
lessons.
We
are
getting
away
from
calling
them
swimming
lessons
because
that
is
an
added
bonus.
The
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
should
a
child
find
themselvse
in
a
body
of
water
they
have
the
self
rescue
skills
to
prevent
a
drowning.
My
son
went
thru
the
program
and
then
I
hosted
an
instructor
at
my
home
so
I
saw
the
lessons
on
a
daily
basis
for
an
entire
summer.
One
day
after
a
horrible
day
in
Corporate
America,
I
talked
to
my
husband
about
becoming
an
instructor
and
he
was
all
for
it.
It
was
the
best
decision
I've
ever
made.
I'm
spending
more
time
with
my
children
and
touching
other's
lives
too.
It
is
very
rewarding.
So
how
did
you
become
a
work
from
home
blogger?
