Someday...

This song is by an 80s group I have mentioned in a previous post (or two?). I'm hoping since it is such a generic name that there is only one song from the 80s with this title and I will not confuse everyone!

My post is titled "someday" -- because Valentine's Day made me realize how I hope to be organized again -- someday!

Yesterday, some of the kids' friends that they ride to school with gave them candy and our next door neighbors made us cupcakes and had their little girl give each of my kids little valentine cards. Guess what I did for them? Not a darn thing. And it made me sad.

I like to think that I am the type of person who remembers to do little things for people. But the truth is, I used to do that type of thing a lot more. I also used to be a lot more organized. Very organized. Now I give myself a B- for organization. I stay on top of what I need to for the most part, but I could be doing much better.

I feel like if I was better organized, I would spend more time and effort thinking about little things I should be doing for others -- things I like to do for others. I don't send birthday cards like I used to -- I am so bad about keeping in touch with certain friends -- I could probably come up with quite a list of "here's what I should be doing" -- and I'm wondering if I'm just plain lazy or what has happened to me.

In my heart and in my head, I know that time is short and we should not neglect those things that are truly important. And to me -- letting others know what they mean to you and that you appreciate them in your life is very important. But sometimes I sure feel like I do a poor job of it. I need to work on that. Constantly.

So let me end my post by reminding each of you that I appreciate the time you take to read my ramblings -- to post a comment. I appreciate your friendship. And should you ever feel I am neglecting you -- just know, I am working on changing that!

And since I mentioned my hubby and his dislike for Valentine's Day yesterday, I feel the need to mention that I did in fact get a present yesterday -- which I have to say, was shocking! LOL It's a gift card to a new scrapbook store here that I love. He said it was from the kids so he didn't have to admit to buying something on the day that he hates. But that's fine with me -- I'll take it! :)

Have a great weekend!
