Just a list....

Hello 2011!

A few years ago I decided not to have New Year resolutions. Not a resolution not to have one because that would be an oxymoron. I don't think I have ever kept my resolutions. I am always so disappointed in myself that I couldn't do that one thing or do without that one thing for a year. In some cases my resolution was over and done with by February. Today I am making a list of things I would like to accomplish or do this year. Mostly for me to look back on at the end of the year.  Maybe for some accountability?  Regardless, here is what I would like to consider in 2011......

Get certified to teach again and possibly go back to teaching.

Do a better job at communicating play group activities.

Organize my clutter in a fashionable way (this is going to take time and money).

Take the next 7 months to spend time with Nathan with no regrets come August when he starts Kindergarden.

Do the PTA scrapbook without hating the decision to be the PTA historian.  I also want to make time to craft.  Set a date, time and lock the door.

I want to look into what I consider my "passion" and see how I can use this for good and not evil.  The most important piece is starting to do something with what it is I like to do.

Seems like a resolution, but it isn't because I said it isn't a resolution!  It is a list of ideas, yeah a list of ideas.  No worries, just a list.

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Insecurity

I am reading a book by Beth Moore called So Long Insecurity you've been a bad friend to us. I was asked by a friend to do a book club kinda thing. I agreed just to feel included so many miles away (insecurity?). I am lonely of being in Alabama without my girlfriends and agreed to read this book. I have to say I didn't think I had issues with insecurity at the time I bought this book. I am a pretty secure woman, but as I continue to read I see where we all have some issues with insecurity. For anyone that knows Beth Moore you know she is a no nonsense Christian and is very challenging. I appreciate her openness and honesty. I am really enjoying the book. Mostly because I have two girls that will be women one day. Don't we all want our daughters to be secure? Of course we do. I think Beth Moore has hit the nail on the head! My challenge to all my girl friends is to not worry about what other think and buy a book that is about insecurity and read it! If not for yo...
