Progress

So, this blog may have become extremely boring for most...Lacking the proper tools to upload pictures puts a real damper on things. So, if you are interested, read on, if not, go away!

I have been cooking a lot more lately, as part of my goals. Stew is so easy I am almost embarrassed that I didn't know that before! Cooking used to feel like such a chore to me, but lately it feels very rewarding. I should say cooking AND baking. I think I always enjoyed baking to cooking, but I'd have to say it's even now.
Organizing is very fun, especially when it involves getting rid of STUFF! I have gotten rid of so much stuff I feel liberated! My children will NEVER have more than 10 outfits at a time again! The kids had so many clothes, mostly hand me downs from friends and family, I was just going crazy with laundry. Things are much more manageable now.
I have not been exercising, reading my scriptures, and don't even get me started on sugar. My planner is being used, but not in the complete way I would like to be using it. I obviously don't blog everyday either.
I am a work in progress. One thing at a time, and it doesn't have to be perfect. I have to tell my self that all the time. I tend to have the attitude of "if I can't do it perfect, why do it at all". This is a BAD way of thinking and I constantly have to over come this.
On another note, I usually have a hard time getting in to the Holiday spirit, and this year is no different. However, I am going to try. I am going to decorate, and force myself to all the Holiday parties I can handle. I find that that is the hardest part for me. I hate having to drive to so many parties I am "obligated" to go to! Do people realize that I live far far away from everything? It's not like I can be anywhere in 30 minutes...oh dear, there's the Grinch in me. Sorry. The point I was trying to make is that I am going to be better this year, for my children's sake. Making happy memories is part of the parental job description. SO HAPPY FREAKING HOLIDAYS! :)
