So many things to do, so little (or much mismanaged) time

I have been really frustrated with myself lately. I go to bed at night thinking of all the things I did NOT do. I am really happy with everything I have recently accomplished (exercising, baby books, made photo gifts, cleaned the house, organized the bedrooms, Dutch 3x/week, visiting), but there is more that I want to do. I feel like the scripture, "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" applies. I actually have some form of motivation, but I just can't make some things happen.

I have to do lists that get done, but still I want to do more. It seems that I had more time when I was working (but only sometimes it seems that way). I know everything is an adjustment and the more you are out, the less messy your house gets.

What I would like to do is:
1. Finish my project for the church website
2. Actually put effort in for my Dutch class
3. Continue exercising 3x/week (gotta lose some weight!)
4. Make t-shirt headbands
5. Sew my 2 skirts
6. Sew something with all the rest of my fabrics
7. Actually do something nice with my hair on a more regular basis
8. Get to the ironing pile instead of ironing one piece when I need it
9. Get the house spotless
10. Try new recipes
11. Try making bread with yeast
12. Make a zipper flower (or any kind of textile flower)
13. Revamp a skirt
14. Figure out some interesting Christmas gifts
15. Read my camera manual and practice and LEARN how to use it properly
16. Start playing piano again
17. Make a nice blog layout/background for both blogs
18. Get enough sleep
19. Find something to earn a little money
20. Spend lots of cuddly time with Mateo

    Great to have a list! I think I need to make one. Maybe try and accomplish one per week?

    That's a good list! I have lots of things I want to do too. I need to manage my little free time better. So much to do @ school though. :S
