Flexibility

Now before you get all snicker-y, I'm not talking about putting my leg behind my head, or anything like that. ;) No, just that it's my thought for the day about being flexible and adapting to what life throws at you. It's been a tough week staying positive at work with the AC not working. Surprising how quick the heat affects your mood. Anyway, we got through it and we're much cooler today. Thank God! Then last night E woke up screaming from a nightmare. DH brought her in bed with us so it was cramped and I didn't sleep well. Oh, and L woke TWICE for bottles. Yet, I managed to get through the day. And tonight DH and I were tag-teaming while MIL is out for choir/church, but he just got called to a meeting. So now overtired mama has to figure out a quicky supper and take care of my 2 dolls alone. UGH!

The more I read what I write, the more I'm realizing how negative I am. I don't like it. I'm a such a complainer. I had 2 people talk to me this week about it. I hadn't meant to get on anyone's case, just bitchin'. But I guess other people don't see it that way. Hmm...makes me wonder if that's the route of everything. I'm the victim I never wanted to be with the constant "poor me" blues. I often blamed it all on being sleep deprived, or stressed financially, or frustrated with the kids. And then I look around at other moms who have the same issues and aren't this way. One of my great galpals has been working really hard to lose weight. She's doing awesome! She's lost probably 60 pounds since the fall. So what's my excuse? She has 2 kids like me, lots of responsibilities, works outside the house, and she does it all with a smile. So what's my excuse?

I keep saying I'm going to change my life, but it's just words. I really need to sit down and make a plan to figure it out. The other night I heard a guy say something to the affect that 'a plan without action is nothing.' And that's exactly what I'm doing. A whole lot of nothing. So, time to start doing something! Choose goals and make a road map to get there. With that said, I better get planning.

TTFN!
