So first hello, to everyone who’s never going to read this. It’s about 11pm on a Friday night. I of course am making all these promises to myself of what I’m going to do first thing when I wake up tomorrow. I am first, going to wake early before any of my family does and start cleaning the house. Then because I’ve had the entire house cleaned before they get up, I should of course have time for the second thing I want to do. I am going to make from scratch either pancakes or waffles. Then I will of course have enough energy to then play with my 1-year-old and wrangle her into a bath all before 9 am so that we may go out garage sale-ing (I know not a “real word” but as this blog continues you’ll note that I pretty much have my own made up language where pretty much every “thing” is a “thingy” and my whole entire family knows exactly what I’m talking about). I am an overzealous person who doesn’t like to say no to anyone so I take on everyone’s problems on top of my own. Then my towering mountain of things that I’ve taken on collapses and I’m caught underneath. But the ever “the glass is half full” person as I am. I just simply breath, put on a smile and make one of my famous To Do list’s, reorganize my thoughts and start picking up the pieces again. That’s me in a nutshell. So I recently told my parents they can pick a day during the week that they can come to see my daughter and then of course on the weekends. My mouth is saying this out loud to the one person who knows me best my mother. So when my brain catches up to my mouth it starts to think of ways to hurt the mouth and total take down of the one who causes most of these problems and headaches for the brain. Then of course, my brain says well, I guess we just need to get into gear, bear down and just do it. Unfortunately  I am also at the same time a procrastinator as well as a silver lining-optimist. So my goal with this blog as I am rambling now, is to make a very public To Do list, and change the procrastinate side of myself to a Wow I can’t believe she can do all that and still look so good doing it. Did I mention I would like to lose weight as well? No? Ok, so maybe I have a few things I want to do. But everything else in my life that I want to do, from doing crafts with my 1-year-old to exercising, to eating at home (not even eating better, just plan eating at home). This all starts with my getting my house cleaned. If ever I want anything else I have to do this my own “Mt. Kilimanjaro”. I can see the top from here, it may be a pin prick of a landing to me right now. But I just know when I get there I’ll be able to plant my own flag and then just keep stepping over the small mole hills that may come up after that. Ok, wish me luck. I am now going to try to sleep. Talk to you tomorrow.
