new year new start

Truth be told, I’m not always the wife, mom, teacher, cook, writer, daughter, or  friend that I wish I were. That is why I’m so very thankful for fresh starts. I know I can’t be perfect. Honestly, I don’t wanna be perfect. But, I love to get a fresh start. Some things I want to fix...baby steps. I know I won't be able to do them all at once, but at least I have a list to work on.

Get healthier-I want to get back into exercising even though I still have 3 more weeks, eat a little better,  take better care of myself. After having a fourth child, I find myself not liking the way I look. I think it is just easier to hide behind sweat pants or pj's and stay in them all day long. I want to get my sexy back. I want to like the way I look in clothes and a swim suit again!

Love who I am- There are so many things about myself that I want to fix, but I can't. I need to realize its who I am and deal. I want better posture, straight toes, a non bumpy nose. These things have always bothered me growing up, and its probably because I use to get teased about it and it has always stuck with me.

Enjoy my time with my family and have more patience: I feel like lately I have been in the worst mood. I don't know if its because with having a new baby I get no sleep, and then I still have to wake up and take care of a two year old who likes to throw fits, a 5 year old who's going on 17, and a 6 year old who thinks he knows everything. Most days I just want to rip my hair out and lose it. I hope I can fix that soon and be back to my happy self who loves to be a mom.

Stop being a neat freak-My goal this year is to just let things go. I am the type of person who cannot leave my house if there are dishes in the sink, a bed that needs to be made, anything out of place I have to fix it before I go out the door. I want to be able to just leave my laundry or dishes for later to play with my kids.


These are just a few of my personal goals. Cheers to 2014!
