By more writing I mean, thoughts and feelings of my life in general-not just how much these kiddos are growing, or their (adorable) photos. Although photos will definitely NOT be something I change because all these photos are so, so precious to me.
I think I just need another outlet to my inner thoughts.
In other words, this would be a step toward actually sitting down and writing out things I mull over on a daily basis.
Since college I have had an extremely difficult time writing any kind of real thoughts/emotions down on paper.
And for someone like me, where communication comes somewhat easily, this shift in my abilities has left me feeling stifled. Bound. Mute.
I am really seeing how much I miss that outlet.
I think if I do this right, it will lead to me being a better momma. Because I need to invest in myself in order to be full enough to be giving-giving-giving to these kids of mine.
On that note, I suppose it is kind of late to do some resolutions, however, that's what I'm gonna do. Because instead of considering 1/1/11 as the start of a new year, I will just consider 3/20/11 the start of a new year-my 32nd year to be exact.
I am cleaning house people. Watch Out!
So, without further adieu,
My Resolutions:
(and please don't laugh as some of these may seem trite, but are much needed kick in [my] pants!!)
1) 5 minutes a day in the Bible (Never in my life have I been consistent on a daily basis to read the Bible. Ever. And that needs to change. Even if it is only 5 minutes.)
2) Journaling Blog Posts (At the minimum, 1 journal-type post PUBLISHED a month-however, there may be more, I just may not have published them (shown them to you). Sorry!!)
3) Only one Caribou Coffee trip a week (This was an old rule back when my husband and I got married and I'm bringin' it back)
4) Date night with the Husband. (We've been on 3-count 'em T H R E E-dates since 2008, AKA the year my daughter was born. Apr 2009/May 2010 (Alzheimer's Gala), and one just last week. I have one word for ya S A D!)
5) Make this Faux Chenille Baby Blanket (I quilt (by machine) as I have mentioned before, but this looks so cute I have to give it a try.
That's it for now, but I will be adding to it as time goes on...wish me luck as I endeavor to find mommy time among two small children!!
