I really wish I had more energy. And time. And energy. The main things in the house are put away, and it seems my motivation has been put away, too. By the time I get the house tidy at the end of the day, the last things I want to do is unpack more stuff. Of course, if the stuff had an obvious home (like clothes in the closet or food in the pantry) I would be totally motivated. It's the thinking that is involved with what is left that slows me down. I don't want to think about where to put this stuff and how to organize it. Once I am able to formulate a plan for organization, I can execute it wonderfully. It's getting the energy to actually formulate that I lack. And to download and post pictures regularly - I would love to have the energy for that, but even as I sit here on the couch contemplating that possibility, my energy fades that much more. There are a lot of things that are contributing to this lack of energy and motivation, but one of them is inconsistent sleep. My kids sleep through the night (well, Jared still joins us in bed regularly, but that doesn't usually wake me up), so I'm not sure why I can't get a full nights rest. I wake up pretty much at least once a night. I often sit up and think about why I woke up - did my alarm go off? Did a child cry out?? Is the sun streaming through the windows?? Nope, nope and nope. I'm starting to wonder if stress/emotion is waking me up. I can fall back asleep with no problem, but the sleep is restless and full of dreams. We are going to the cabin for a week next weekend, so hopefully that will help to rest me and motivate me to finish unpacking and such...

I'm a bit slow but thinking of you often.
