Simplify

I had a great conversation yesterday with our librarian about life, and ways to SIMPLIFY.
I got thinking about it, not for the first time, but reminded, shall we say, last year while living at my aunt's. She is such a great believer in this, and I even bought her one of those country folk signs for her entry way with just that...SIMPLIFY.
So what does that mean? I think it means to slow down some. I'm not sure yet if I think it means do less. My mother in law has always jokingly said "Heather has more hours in her days", as if to suggest I am doing way too much.
When I sit back (hahaha...that meaning on my drive to work in the morning...all of five minutes, since we live so close to school) and take the time to take stock of life, I try and decide what needs to give. But in the run of an average day, I am not sure what that is. Seems to me, we get up in the morning, check email, pack lunches,get breakfast, get Dalton's pills ready, and then head out the door for school. Of course that is non stop! As a guidance counsellor, I don't give myself "prep periods", because that quite literally is my whole day...preparing for someone else, or the next school wide activity.
So I can't simplify there, unless I step back from the job. I have tried leaving the schoolwork in my office at the end of the day...which I am getting better at.But it is Midterm and report card week. So much for that! 
Then we get home by 4:30-5 pm. After stopping a the store for whatever errand needed to be done, so it's more like 5 or 5:30pm.
Mom, what's for supper?
I am slowly trying to  a better grip on supper and teach Dalton some of that responsibility. Not that we have glorious meals every night, but I am also much more conscious of nutritional value, and trying to cut back on the processed foods. Of course that often means more preparation time.
Once we get that done, there seem to be only two or three choices for the evening...What time does Dalton have to be at his next activity (because HE sure ain't slowing down!) Do we have enough clean clothes to get us through one more day? and WAIT! I still can't find the craft room.
At least the last one is improving. But only because I am trying to squeeze in extra hours for Christmas market preparation.
Now to get this Christmas Card class under way.
Simplify.
Yes, I will only do one class.
maybe two. but that would mean I would have to take some time to look at my calendar for five minutes and find a suitable date! good luck with that. It's much SIMPLER to go back to Facebook and see how everyone else is wasting their time!!
good grief!
