Overfocused and Underfocused: A Mom with Three Kids and working on a MA

Here are some of my symptoms now that I am 45 years. I am unorganized and since I moved to this home from living too far up in the mountains, after 6 months still to not feel "settled". Been meaning to get to the garage and yet can't get it finished. Also my bedroom does not have a place for everything. But the L Room and kitchen are okay, my desk area needs a home for some paperwork as well. I have things in files but can't seem to ever get it ALL filed! I have great intentions but then am not quite motivated to "attack" a project. I want a clean home with everything in order and yet I feel I miss my goal almost everyday. It is sad and it does make me depressed at times.

I also have a hard time seeing past TODAY and all that it holds just for that day. At times this is great, such as having Starbucks with my middle teenager, but then other days it's bad, such as not getting my school work done ahead of time.

The last symptom which I will share about today has to do with my emotions. I had always had close relatives tell me that I am very sensitive, and I knew this but it really hit home that I am overly sensitive, emotionally when I said that a link re. baseball (my favorite to watch) vs. football, hurt my feelings. I took it personally because I do like baseball and thought I was being criticized. I don't like to be that sensitive and yet I am glad to the emotions when I desire to be compassionate towards others. I hope I can figure it out and allow the Lord to you use it for His Good!

I have to say school is going pretty well, but it bugs me that I can't keep my office area perfect at all!!
