Was up and out the door at 6am this morning, b/c Mr. Weatherman had threatened freezing rain through the night and this morning. I figured if I got a head start, I could avoid most of the traffic and go as slow as I wanted.  Traffic wasn’t bad – it was raining and if it sat long enough it would freeze. So, I got to work an hour early, had breakfast and am now killing time.

Lots of thoughts going through my head today. This morning, I was listening to the FLYShow on my ipod. This is a show by Flylady and the Dinner Diva and I just really have learned so much from them. Go to BlogTalkRadio to find out more. Anyway, this morning, Leanne was talking about LifeLock (www.lifelock.com) and about how great of a service it was. Just got done looking through the website and I think I may try to talk DH into it. The company runs credit reports every 3 months on you, they get all that junk mail (i.e. credit card applications) stopped, etc, etc. It’s all stuff that you can do yourself, but this company does it for you. And if someone does steal your identity, they will go to bat for you legally. Not too shabby.

Also was thinking this morning about ways to slow my life down. Funny, when you think about it. But December and the holidays are the time when I always think about it. My big problem right now is finding a time to do laundry, b/c we will go to the in-laws to do it. We never have the quarters to do it in our building and it gives us time with them. BUT for the last 3 weeks, instead of having our normal time to do it, we’ve had to “find time” to do it during the week. And it’s just thrown my entire schedule off. I feel like I continually argue with DH about it and use it as a “we need a house soon” ploy. Oh well.

But back to slowing down, why is that I feel like I’m constantly running, but don’t have any “reason” to? I don’t have any (living) children, I don’t have pets – I have a job, a husband, friends, am active in church – and that’s it. Hmmm… Any suggestions?
