So I am a horrible multitasker. Okay, I should say, I used to be a horrible multitasker. Since I’ve had kids (4 in 3 pregnancies in 4 years) my brain just doesn’t quite work like it used to. BUT, I still want to do as many things as I possibly can at the same time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I want to check my email while I listen to Alex’s latest Angry Birds monologue.<\/p>\n

I want to wash dishes while chatting with my husband about my day.<\/p>\n

I want to write and keep up to date on Facebook.<\/p>\n

I want to live my way and live biblically.<\/p>\n

I want to mother my kids and get the chores done and have time to myself.<\/p>\n

At.the.same.time.<\/p>\n

And I can’t do it. I just can’t. And honestly, I’m not sure I really want to. Okay, I do want to keep checking Facebook and email religiously. And I want time to write. And time to myself. And time for my kids. And time for my beyond-fabulous husband. I do want to do it all. But I want to stop pretending that I can do it all at once.<\/p>\n

So this month, I’m going to think about and write about and live about “One Thing at a Time.” Maybe it’ll be one book that you should read. Maybe one thing I learned today. Maybe a spotlight on one of my kids or one thing I wish I knew how to do or one thing about God that blows me out of the water.<\/p>\n

But that’s what I’m going to do (try to do) every day this month. One Thing at a Time. And at the end of the 31 days, that’ll be 31 things. Not all at the same time. But all completed.<\/p>\n

I’m kind of excited to see where I go. Hope you enjoy coming along with me, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
