My long-term goals
It occurred to me after my last post, about weeding unnecessary and unhelpful things from my life, that I should probably ask myself the question, What ARE my long-term goals?
Of course, as I'm sure is the case with everyone, that's not a simple question -- nor does it have a simple answer. But I'll take a crack at answering it, because I think it'll help me do more weeding.

Weeding
Yesterday I mentioned all the goals that I'm juggling: freelancing, blogging, working on my novels, ebook ideas, projects around the house, riding more frequently, practicing the piano, reading... and that's on top of the work I do with kids and at the barn. It's too much to manage a lot of the time, and as a result about half of those things fall by the wayside at any one time.
The solution is, of course, to do fewer things... but I have to confess, I like having lots of interests. I don't want to completely give up some things in order to spend more time on others. So what I need to do, for me, is figure out what things I'm wasting my time doing -- and get rid of them.

Busy summer
My apologies for neglecting my blog this summer. Even though I was no longer nannying regularly, I had picked up a couple of new families on an as-needed basis. In addition, halfway through the summer V. and A.'s parents started asking for my help here and there. And in the gaps in between, I was freelancing, working at the barn, doing projects around the house, and trying to carve out some free time here and there.
As a result, I was fairly busy until the kids went back to school this week. Not as busy as I've been in previous summers -- not as busy as last summer -- but still busy enough that I completely forgot to blog all summer.
