?????

Well I am still not sure where I am going with this whole blig thing but I hav decided this, if nothing else it is kinda a good measure of my ups and downs, and while I am kinda in a downward swing at the moment, I would like to think that soon I will back on my way up.
I am still working lots, but I am hopeing that will ease soon giving more time to spend on my house, myself, and my family.
I have a friend that is giving up sweets for lent. I am not sure I can give up something, I am weak I know, maybe I could try Diet Coke? Sure why not. So today I am giving up Diet coke... think it will last? Til Easter? It is worth a try right? SO no soda pop for me for 40 days... I know I am late, but hey work with me. I think I really need to try to workout a few days a week, I always feel better after a good workout, so I know it s good for me, but will I do it?
For my home, I just need to tackle one area a day, and maintain it, eventually it will be how I like it, and maintain able. Perhaps if I put my tps in here for cleaning I may stick with it... maybe.
For my kiddos, I need to be more available to them when need. Not just making sure they are where they need to be doing what they should. Me there for them. And my poor hubby who puts up with my nagging, I need to be much more appreciative... and maybe more there for him too.

So here is my renewed start... wish me luck!

Day 14... Renewed goals!

Where'd I go?

I have been kinda lazy, not just kinda, I mean really lazy. I have had a couple days totally off work and extra stuff, and yet, I have accomplished nothing. I think I need to find a motivator... any ideas?

Day 13... motivation?

Have ya'll missed me?

So I feel like I live everywhere but home lately... between my 3 various jobs, kids schools and life I think I am never home, and my mess just keeps piling higher and higher. I am so looking forward to a day off with nothing to do but kick the kids outside and do some deep cleaning... after Valentines day of course... which is really just another excuse to not start dieting yet, right?

Day 12... Valentine's Day

Running outta catchy titles...

But I feel good today, I have gotten some paper work done, feel pretty good, lost a couple pounds and fit into my size smaller jeans... I have read a couple books I liked and am motivated to keep up on my writing. A good book reminds me that I can do that... maybe even better. So I have written a couple more pages on my story and I here practicing again.

I also feel pretty good, I got my contacts lens again today... had to wear glasses for a while... I was kinda prone to eye infections... But I feel like I am looking pretty good. I have not been following my weight watchers as faithfully as I would like, but I have tried to be better at what and how much I eat.

So I am making progress on my goals in a couple ways, I am feeling good about myself, and I am accomplishing baby steps... working up to my bigger pictures goals.

Day 10...still going

Gotta get going... NOW!

So I know I have kinda been in a funk...(description borrowed from My friend Amber E)but I am really ding it this time. I spent a good part of yesterday cleaning, and I am gathering important paper work that needs be gotten... that I have once a again stalled on til the last minute... But I am gettin git done right? And that is what this blog was all about.

I did accomplish finishing the first book for my book club this month... that was something I finished. It was a good book, so if you have read it and want to talk about it, feel free to leave me a note here... since I missed book club and the discussing part... Oh yeah the book was The Help, by Kathryn Stockett.

Also in accomplishing some cleaning and paperwork sorting I am now closer to getting my stuff together for my crafty side... the fun stuff I would like to have more time to do...

Day 11... Doing it...

Blah... blah... blah

So I feel like I am incapable of completing any real goals... I mean I just have zero motivation. I think I need to get off my butt and start making stuff happen. I think I just need the motivation and help to do it.

Day 9...HELP

I did it...

I awoke early this morning, and thanks to some good friends I went and worked out for about an hour this morning... this is promising. WHo knows what I may accomplish now having gotten up early and been productive... I may get a clean house yet... and a small pant size. YEAH ME!

Day 8... I did it.

What is the point ?

So I was thinking about what I dd or did not accomplish today... and why exactly I am bothering with any of this anyway... Here is what I have come up with. I still enjoy writing, and to do anything well it takes practice, so if for no other reason, this is for practice.

I also think it gives me some time to look at each day, and recognize what I have achieved each day. There are days as a parent when you think you have gotten nothing done, days at work where you wonder what if anything got through to the children you teach. and how if at all you touched someones life that day.

Today was no life changing event, but I got a 1 year old to smile at me, taught some 3-year-olds letter S and showed some young girls my love for dance!

SO why I am writing this, keeping up this lame account of goals not met, and left undone? to prove to myself that I accomplish something every day, whether or not it be the intended goals.

And for the record, yesterday I cleaned 1 room, visited with some family, and enjoyed my husbands company, and my kids and watched a movie.

Day 7... goals met...
