I don’t know about you, but I’m a goal setter. I have to be otherwise nothing gets completed. I find myself walking around in circles, constantly working and moving but yet never actually accomplishing much. I tend to get overwhelmed and feel as if the things I want to see completed will haunt me for years to come. I get down on myself when I don’t have a plan and just spend hours or days meandering and then that puts me in a bad mood and makes me not as nice of a mom or wife. This is not who I want to be and so when I get in one of these funks I have to look at everything and re-evaluate and make a plan. Today was one of those days for me. It’s been a long, exhausting week with a sick husband and kids that have more energy than I could ever hope to have myself and I have a million and one ideas and dreams rushing through my head that I want to start working on!
I got whiny and down yesterday and today and I had a bad attitude, I know we all have those days but now it’s time for a refresh and I’m ready to be my happy, cheerful self and get back to loving my family and friends and running after my dreams. But first I am going to make a plan, set some goals, write some things down on my calendar. In order to shoot for the stars you need to know where you’re aiming right!
So tomorrow I am making a list of all of the things I want to accomplish over the next month and then I will prioritize them and make sure I work on a little of everything instead getting my head stuck on one thing which is what I tend to do. I just need to come to terms with that fact that I function way better using lists and keeping focused.
One of the big things I have been wanting to do over the last month was order more of our pictures for the house. I never made this a priority so it never got done. But tonight I put it on the list and bam now I will have lots of new portraits to put up on my walls very soon! I am so proud of myself and can’t wait to get our new pictures hung! I came across this image when I was looking through pictures of the kids and couldn’t not share it. She is in a very busy stage right now and into absolutely everything, exhausting doesn’t begin to explain how she is making me feel, but I know it is just a season and one that I will learn from and cherish because she is also just the sweetest thing ever! This sweet girl is amazing and stunningly beautiful. She is a fire ball, wild, crazy, loving, hysterical and everything we need. Each and every day I am surprised by her beauty both inside and out. I would like to name this picture “Stunning” because really how else could you describe this beauty?
