Trying to catch up

(yes, I'm posting this... it's been sitting unpublished since October...)

I realize it's been quite a while since I've written. As the days go on, I get more and more behind, the thought of catching up is a bit overwhelming.
Many things have been going on. Kids back in school, Mike's new position at work, switching work to my home, church calling (yes, I have one!), school volunteer drama, housework (or lack there of), personal conflicts, family, weight battles, friends, and my usual up's and down's.
I love fall General Conference, despite the weather changing. There were some specific things that hit home for me. Parenting instructions, inspirations to grow my faith, and personal challenges.
One thing I took to heart was the challenge to get to bed early and wake up early. Something I have really never done in my lifetime. But I'd love to make that change.
I'm hoping that things will slow down a bit so I can catch up. I was that person who would check blogs and think "I really wish they would post!" I would hear people say "I'm just so far behind" and I would offer my advise... "just start new! don't worry about catching up!"
... guess it's time to take my own advise!
