This sounds really "Oprah-ee" but the last few days I have had a saying go through my head "live your best life". Today while drying my hair I felt the motivation to actually do it. I can do better. So much better. And I want too. I want to "live my best life".
So here it is - my best life:
- Waking up before my kids - shower and get dressed
- Pray and read my scriptures everyday
- fix my kids a good breakfast and my boys a good lunch
- Get me and girls mostly ready with the boys and finish up by 9:30
- Do something really fun with the girls in the morning at least once a week
- Be productive during naps: make dinner, clean something, make healthy snacks, work on preschool - no "pointless" tv or computer time - but I can "catch up" on some things.
- Be 100% "there" with the boys when they get home - not distracted doing other things
- Do something fun with all the kids at least one day a week after school
- Be 100% on discipline and expectations with the kids
- Do two things on my "check list" every night before tv, computer, or bed
- Read blogs instead of Facebook
- Go to bed by 10:30
I am considering taking time off of Facebook. I used to read really great healthy living, recipe, and parenting blogs - but now I don't have time to do that - and I felt better when I did that instead of Facebook - but trying to do both wastes too much time. I am limiting myself to Facebook once a day and recommitting to go back to reading informative uplifting blogs.
At the beginning of the year i decided not to make any resolutions because things were "going so well" and they were. Oh how pride can bring about destruction! So... at the end of January I guess these are my resolutions.
