Are you making resolutions??
With that nice clean slate looming before me I always think, "I can totally do that."
But I soon realize that the likelihood I am going to actually scrapbook one page a day for all 365 days of 2013 is negative 6.
That being said let's talk realistic resolutions that we may have a slight chance of keeping.
1. I am going to scrapbook one page a month.
2. I am going to call my grandma twice a month.
3. I am going to treat others the way I want to be treated.
4. I am going to laugh at least once everyday.
5. I am going to make some else laugh everyday.
What do you resolve?
Pish Posh Get Fit Challenge -- Week 3
I'm linking myself up again with Pish Posh's Get Fit challenge and I am encouraging you all to do the same.
Do you have any left over New Year's resolutions that are nagging at you? Do you find yourself complaining more than rejoicing? Do you need to write more? To whine less? To take your own advice and avoid people who make you unhappy?
Link up with Pish every Thursday for the next 10 weeks. We can encourage each other. We can share our successes and our failures. She's giving away a cool prize and best of all when it ends, you might just be in a better place than where you were when it started.
PERSONAL GOALS
I'm still plugging away on my new novel. This week it hasn't been on the front burner. However, I feel very confident that I can reach my 50,000-55,000 word goal by May 10th.
I haven't been all that physically active this week. I mean I'm on my feet for at least five hours a day, but what little time I had been spending in the treadmil has dwindled. I did, however, walk 3 miles over the weekend at a benefit walk for my nephew. If you count the 600 I drove round trip I covered a lot of ground this week.
PROFESSIONAL GOALS
My dreaded ServSafe Certified is this Monday and I'd still like to prove to myself that I'm not as dumb as I think I am. That being said, I still need to retain a lengthy list of foodborne illnesses and their causes which include things like Bacillus cereus gastroenteritis, Shigellosis and Cryptosporidiosis.
MENTAL HEALTH
My mental health has been pretty low this week. I wrote about one of the reasons and the other one stems from the fact that my hubby has been traveling more for work in 2012 than he has been home.
It is exhausting.
It is draining.
It makes me feel like I am not doing anything well.
I am not mantaining the house well.
I am not parenting well.
I am not writing well.
I am not even cooking processed chicken well, let alone learning all the acurate holding times.
Here's hoping that once he returns and I get this stupid test off my list that things start to turn around because as of this post, I'm officially getting on my own nerves and that can't possibly be good.
