Worrying

"Worrying is simply telling God that you don't think He can handle the small and large events of your life..."

I love this. I need to live by this quote and stop worrying so much. I don't know why but when I truly think about it I'm always worrying about something (I do know why... my mother is always 25 steps ahead of the game and stressed out - I inherit this from her).

Currently I'm worried about:
-not getting the witch hat in time for our Halloween walk tomorrow at school (okay really... will anyone care?)
- not finishing my Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving when we are celebrating (seriously ... I think my mom and sister will be just fine if I have to ship something to them a little later)
- getting to all of my reading groups every week - this has been so hard the past couple of weeks with so many events going on and as much as I know the kids need this small group time with me, I also know that it needs to be valuable and a time they are focusing... no sense in pulling them back tomorrow when they are in full costume!
- Christmas and New Years -- I really want Derrick to be off for both but that has never happened in the 4 years I've known him and I have no control over it
- getting my apartment cleaned every week.... c'mon I'm not that popular that people are over here everyday
- getting my runs in - it's okay for me to take a couple days or even a week off every now and then.... I'm not going to gain 10 lbs
- it's okay to eat out a lot in 1 week and not feel bad about it -- sure I don't want to or like to but sometimes it happens and I still had fun with friends

Okay... now that I got it off my chest I feel better -- not as worried:)

More to come this week such as the race we recently ran and photos, my Halloween costume, cute Mia at Dogtoberfest, and more:)
