I created these expectation, goals, resolutions, whatever, when I quit my job in May. I am sad to say that none of them have come to pass, or stuck around enough to become a habit.
- Spending mornings teaching my son
- Playing with my son more
- Having play dates with Wyatt's friends, and making better friends with the moms
- Finding joy, time, and desire to have a clean, orderly home
- Being a better friend to my husband
- Spending Wyatt's nap time crafting and being creative for myself and my family
- Having a simplified schedule in my life
- Taking my dogs on longer walks (more exercise for them and me!)
- Seeing my family more, especially my grandmother
- Taking care of myself (exercise, regular haircuts, pedicures)
In my more personal blog, http://www.sommersjourney.blogspot.com/, I just had a little pity party since I was feeling down on myself, and I think it had something to do with the fact that my life isn't even close to what I wanted it to be. I'm sharing these goals with you, because I'm hoping you'll help keep me in check. I need to be held accountable or I'll never accomplish what I want. I did great in college because I had deadlines and a professor to report to. Unfortunately, reporting to myself, just hasn't been working out. Help me! Please!

Expectations are really hard for me, I create them and then mourn because I don't accomplish them. Lately I've come to the conclusion to make small goals for each day (like 1 maybe 2) and then feel good about that, if I get other things done as well then hooray for me! I've decided that we don't give ourselves enough credit for what we are doing right, we list all the things we think we should or would like to be doing. Small steps is my new plan (we'll see how it goes)! If I don't find some positives in my life I'll go even more crazy. After reading your recent posts on both blogs I've done a lot of thinking and this is what I've come up with. We need to recognize our challenges for what they are, take them into consideration, plan for the worst (so we can't worry about it anymore), and then praise ourselves for what we are doing. Slowly, little by little we'll get to where we want to be. Hope that helps, if anything thanks for giving me the opportunity to think about all this and formally put it down in words. Good luck, hang in there, you are loved and doing a great job!
