I recently talked about some goals I have for myself. Not so much "resolutions" but rather shifts in attitude. I have a brief progress report to keep me focused:
1. Running: Have not started. I promise this is not procrastination. There are a couple of other changes I need to make before I can properly fit that into daily life (one change being that I stop staying up till all hours reading blogs and tooling around on Facebook). It is a work in progress but I have set a goal to be 'up and running' by mid-May.
2. Playing: I am happy to report that this area of life is going really well. I feel that I am prioritizing the kids over housework in a GOOD way. Some days are still a bit overwhelming for me but there is definitely more fun in our lives these days. As Chloe is getting older and becoming interested in play, it is easier to find ways to engage all 3 kids. ALSO, the fact that Michael and Liam have 2 mornings per week in preschool takes some of the pressure off of me in terms of doing crafts, etc. They both do some really cool stuff & it's easy to build on what they learned that day. The nice weather helps tremendously since we can spend more time outside.
This weekend is a good one so far...can't wait to enjoy this lovely weather again tomorrow :)
