so i haven't written in five months. FIVE MONTHS! huh, time really does fly. i guess i can toss the resolution of blogging more out the window. oops! it's been a busy five months. we welcomed our baby girl into the family last month. she is just the cutest thing ever! i am so entirely head over heels in love with her. it felt like we waited such a long time for her and now our family feels totally complete. but now that she is finally here i am contemplating my self worth in this world. i am a wife and a mother of two. now what?
i feel as though i am always looking for that answer. i was able to put those thoughts on hold the last couple of months and concentrate on growing our daughter. but now those thoughts seem to be screaming at me. telling me it's time to live life to the fullest. throw carelessness to the wind and be happy! and i'm so ready for that. but where to start?
the short list:
i'm ignoring my last post for now, i'll get to those things later. these are things i would like to concentrate on right away. things that will provide stability so i can add richer things without causing chaos.
1. balance finances. this is a toughie because it involves the husband. it's time to take over the finances. this provides stress relief for him and reassurance for me. it will also give us a sense of where we are. are we living beyond our means? (most likely yes) what can we cut out over the next year to give ourselves a less stressful life? are there things we shouldn't be going without?
2. routine. routine is important for our kids. our three year old has benefited immensely from having a set routine, especially later in the day. we have slightly missed our routine the last couple of months because of pregnancy, house guests and what not.
3. nutrition and exercise. needs to be better. enough said.
okay, so these three will be my focus over the next month. if successful, i will add to them next month. wish me luck!!!
