I'm not sure why the beginning of the year makes me think that I should start blogging, but it does. Today's post is about my lofty goals for the weekend that are translating from my lofty goals for 2014. We are all sick. Like, baby puking, fevers, boogers, grumpiness and all of the glory that comes with such a list. Because of this, I decide to take on a project that is way bigger than I thought, well kind of. I knew it would be a lot of work, I was just hoping that I could get it done in 2 days. WRONG!
I am painting a castle on Jo's wall. I have been wanting to do it forever and figure, what the hell? The hell is that both kids are ornery and the baby just stands at the gate crying for mama, and the big one stands there yelling about how SHE wants to help and how I said she could help. Lord help me. Poor Scott is sick and trying to manage them and his own sick butt. He must love me to bite his tongue and let me work.
I'm kind of feeling like I need to declutter my life and my house and it's taking longer than my instant-gratification-junkie self is ok with. Ugh. As Scott always says, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."
One goal that I am proud to announce for 2014 is to write everyday. So far we are 12 days in and I am 12 for 12! WOOO! I don't know what I was waiting for but what it was it came or passed or whatever and I am writing. It feels great! I have done a lot of different things in my life. A LOT. Some of them were very hard, some came very easy, and I will tell you now that there is not one thing that feels better to me than writing. What a great revelation! To finally feel that contentment is something beyond my capabilities to articulate.
In short(ish), life is calm around here. Last year was pretty tumultuous, and I am looking forward to 2014 and the calm I feel.
Cheers to you all!
