To Do Lists ...

... it seems to be a never ending list!  Is this true for everyone or am I all alone in this?  Okay, seriously, I know I am not alone in this feeling but dang, my list is so long I feel like I am never going to see it get smaller!!  I can't see the end of it!  I either need more hours in a day with less sleep required or I need to figure out how to get more energy when I am awake to get more done.  I seem to come home from work seriously tired everyday.  The moment we get home I make dinner and then we relax with a coffee before heading out to the pens to clean and play with the dogs.  Then, it's feeding time.  We are usually back in the house by 9:30 or 10 pm.  At that point, I don't want to do much of anything else.  I know I should go for a walk or do some exercise or do some house work or something, not just sit like a bump on a log in the living room.  So, I am considering finding something to take for energy.  Sure, it's probably not the healthiest way to do thing, but the tests have been done and the result is I am already taking what I need to for the things that I have in my medical history.  The "solution" is always to just do more.  Exercise more.  Just push thru it and get more done.  Well, damn it, I can't do more.  I am not a lazy person.  When things need to be done, I find a way to get them done.  But, I seriously put some things off until that point because I just don't have the energy or mindset to do them.  My brain feels foggy, my head aches (almost daily), my energy is drained and I just have no desire to do the things I KNOW I should be doing.  So, what I am going to do.  I am going to start taking something to give me more energy and hope that helps.  Probably not the "right" thing to do, but I am going to do it anyway!  Ha!  The other thing I know I need to do is stop the facebook thing all the time.  I  admit that I spend way to much time on that silly thing.  I need to take this out of my daily routine!  I should just get rid of the home computers all together, but well, I don't think that will happen either.  I have been reading lately about taking sugar out of your diet.  Seriously, there is sugar in EVERYTHING and I refuse to give up everything I eat!  but, I am going to seriously try to limit not only sugar intake, but total food intake as well.  I need to do something ... I am seriously overweight in my opinion and I am so not happy with myself.  If I am not going to exercise as I should (and I am saying going additional cardo in addition to the mile or two that I walk in the dog yard every night), then, I need to cut back to food!

Well, I am off to mow lawn.  I would love to hear from anyone that is reading this blog to know what you do to keep your energy up and get things done.  Any advise is welcome ... Thanks!
