New Year Update / Internet Connection Problems

Happy New Year!!!
Let me tell you, it's great to be able to post this. We've had trouble with our cable connection since last Friday. We have Internet access approximately 2-hours a day. One of those hours is spread out in 10-30 second increments. Spotty service? That would be a blessing at this point.

Would you believe we are not slotted for service to correct this until Friday? A week with practically no Internet. That's been difficult.

In trying to hurry and get this posted before I lose connectivity I really have no topic to focus on. I will tell you that I'm taking steps to begin my baby-steps. Does that make sense? Probably not but it's a starting place.



  • I have re-joined FlyLady (www.flylady.com) to help with my home organization.

  • I signed up for the Duke Diet online program as well as access to their personal coaches/trainers for nutrition, fitness and emotional issues related to weight loss.

  • As far as my homeschooling difficulties with my 4th grader's curriculum goes, I'm working with my husband on computer issues (new curriculum is fully computerized and currently maintained on my son's laptop - I'd like to be able to access everything from my laptop), a friend from church who's familiar with the curriculum and the online community of other homeschoolers using this curriculum.

My next hurdle will be fighting the desire to get too many things done at one time. Once I get started I want to do EVERYTHING all at once. That doesn't work, I get overwhelmed, can't decide what to work on and therefore, do nothing. I've been on this road before and I know where the sinkholes are. Now I just need to steer past them while staying on the road.


I better get this posted while I can. I should have a new posting sometime over the weekend.


Are you working on baby-steps? Big projects? Anything in-between? Please drop me a comment and let me know.


Back in a few days!
