"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"
--Robert Schuller

This wasn't the quote that I originally wanted to use for today. We had a guest speaker on Thursday and I think she was quoting Thomas Edison, but I couldn't find it verbatim on google but it was something like the key ingredient to success is failure. It sounds negative but so many people give up when they fail, especially when they fail the same way over and over again. I have been complaining about my lack of executive functioning for what, 6 months now? Well, I have totally thrown myself over the line and I literally am totally booked up next week with 2-3 appointments/engagements per day (including Saturday, I had 3 events, and Sunday (today) I have 2, not including church). Even a four-fer on Thursday: a psychologist appointment at 9:15, OT meeting with the school at noon, an outpatient surgical procedure for The Hub at 3:45, followed by a work meeting that I'm leading at 5:00. That probably looks like a "walk in the park" (er, mall) week for super moms like Niksmom, but I'm in a whirlwind and couldn't be happier because I do like being busy, believe it or not, and I love the feeling that I will be productive. Yes, I'm a little freaked out at the night and day comparison of my schedule and the amount of energy I'll need to muster up to survive it (no gluten for me), but I trust that it will all work out. I fly by the seat of my pants pretty well, so maybe if I pretend that I don't have my week planned out, I'll have a successful week without all the anxiety of feeling like I'm in over my head. (Who am I?? Boy, those drugs are good!)

I love that quote... offers so much possibility, doesn't it?
What a week you have planned (sounds a bit like the one we've got coming up)!!!
I always say take one day at a time, and don't think too far ahead (although that's easier said than done...)... and with this quote - the sky is the limit!!!
I'll be waiting to hear how it all goes.

Elissa,
It must be this time of year when we try to cram everything in before the year ends. Why do we do this to ourselves? Ha! Maybe my new year's resolution will be to pace myself.
Um, hate to destroy such a wonderful image you've built up of me but...Super mom???? ROFLMAO! You know how it goes...you just roll with shit and hope it works out! I have learned the REALLY HARD WAY not to try to schedule too many things on one day b/c something always crops up that just throws a big ol' wrench in the works and then Nik falls apart and I hit stress overload...ain't pretty lemme tell ya.
Definitely something to do with the end of year and trying to cram everything in...it's the ONLY time of year you'll hear/read about me baking cookies or making anything besides dinner! LOL
