Don't forget the Present!!!

I spent most of today on my bed with numerous cook books, recipes, calendars, pens, pencils and the remote (had to watch the "House" marathon). R had the upchucks last nite, so we didn't go to church this morning. So I planned NEXT week's menu....calculating my alloted calories per day/per meal....making a grocery list....scheduling my activity time (sounds better than E.X.C.E.R.C.I.S.E), adding up the calories of certain recipes...so, NEXT week is done....but I forgot...I have to live this upcoming week FIRST!!!! I don't know why I do that....I get so geeked about 'planning' things, that I totally overlook the here-and-now...
Part of the reason is that in my head I don't *officially* start until Thursday (actually, next Monday for my work contest-WHICH I WILL WIN!!!), so, my mindset has been in the future...but I need to reel it in and get my head outta the clouds and look at today. I can't just sit around and wait for Thursday to get here...I have to live, and take care of my family, and go to work.....So, I will work on remembering the present while planning for the future....next obstacle: When the future becomes the present will the goals be accomplished....oy....that's another blog.....
