Where did My New Year's Resolutions go?

I was all determined to be organized once the calendar was turned over.  I forgot about all the busy times around the holiday season.  Oh, yeah - we had a few parties, shopping, special times with the children, AND we decided to add a new puppy to the family.  (The puppy was a last-minute decision for Hubby and I.  She came available, and so we went for it!)  Having a new puppy is close to having a new baby in the house.  Potty training is very time-consuming!  I'm hanging on to the hope that this will not take as long as it takes to get a newborn all the way to potty-trained!  

I have decided I'm going to give Sue Patrick's Workbox System a try.  I got the ebook, and I'm a little over half-way through it.  Sigh.  I wanted to be done reading, have all the supplies purchased and organized, and start using it the first day back to school!  I have a tendency to be an all-or nothing gal.  If things are good at this moment - I see life as being GREAT!  If, however, things are hard, I feel totally defeated!  As I was wallowing in misery for not being organized enough - STILL! - I thought back to our Christmas break.  We got to spend a lot of time together as a family.  Because of the way the holidays fell this year, my husband got a four-day weekend followed by a three day weekend.  We got a couple of new games for the family, and I spent a lot of time playing games with family.  Sometimes we were all together, and sometimes it was just a few of us.  But, we made it a point to take lots of time playing together as a family.  I also read about four fiction novels!  Reading is a pleasure for me, and I took advantage of the free time during the holidays to get extra reading in.  

So, how should I feel?  Have I failed at the CM way of education?  Have I come up short, again?  Are my children suffering because of my 'lack of organization'?  I think we'll all live through it.  We are continuing to limp along with my less-than organized method we have used so far this school year, and I'll be working on finishing that ebook and getting our workboxes set up.  THEN I'll be a good homeschooler!  Right?
