Goals

I've had a few frustrating days lately.  I think I have allowed myself to get into some negative habits...which have seeped into my job as a mother.  I don't like that and it makes me even more frustrated. And instead of trying to blame my negative feelings on everything under the sun, I finally realized a lot of it had to do with simply my own attitude.  I have not been blogging a lot lately and while on one hand, I have felt more free in my time, I have also missed the journaling aspect.  I really enjoy getting my thoughts out and thinking things through. So with that, I am going to try and be more patient (but firm), deliberate in my actions wth regards to parenting, stay positive and enjoy and embrace the small things as well as blog more often! Here's to a more pleasant me. And because I really love lists and accomplishing them, I will add the list that's been hanging out in my head of things to do around the house. I've already finished or started a few of them!
