Not just getting by

I made a promise to myself and asked Bryant to help me this morning.  My promise is to not say "I've just got to get through these next two week.".  I hate that kind of attitude from myself.  I know I've got a lot to do and these next two weeks will be stressful, but I've got to remember that this attitude will not help me out.  For example, I can say "I just want to get through this van driving test at the school for cross country."  That's fine, but if I just get through the next two weeks I could miss so much. 

We have a fun dinner planned tonight with some friends from seminary, my mom is coming over Labor day, Martin and I have MOPS meetings, and other fun things.  If I just am getting through, these things just won't seem like as much fun!  So I'm taking it two days at a time and I know that I will be stressed and tired, but I don't want to miss out on the other stuff.  It's not about just getting through.
