YAAAAY & bittersweet for me!   How in the world did he get so big so fast?!?!  

Today, I have drank my shake for lunch.  SO that was my nice for the day! I will be back tomorrow~!

Day # 2 of my self imposed Challenge

As I set here fighting a 1 yr old for the keyboard typing, I have to be honest.  I am not feeling up to a challenge today.  BUT, I must push on.  I have yet to shower today.  I know that sounds alot worse than it is.  I just I put baby T down for a nap & did not want to chance waking him up with a shower.  I am about to drop my pre-k'er off for school, than I will have 2 whole hours to myself (if you can call it that with a 1 yr old!) Today what in the world can I do for myself!  Hummmmmmmmmmmm.........  I think I my dig out some of my sewing stuff and mess with it.  I has been almost a year (YIKES)!  I love to sew, but I make excuses as to why I don't have time.  So, I think I may make time today!  That is if baby T will let me!  Oh, and IF I get to shower I will put on make-up, MAYBE!  =)

Enough is Enough

Well, I have drawn a line in the sand!  A line that can't be crossed!  A line that needed to be drawn a long time ago.  I realized today what a mess I have become.  I think my best friend(you know who you are) said it best when she said, "When my family goes out into public, My husband & children looks nice, and I look like some hobo they found on the way to the store!"  That is EXACTLY how I feel! I do not fix my hair anymore. I do not put make-up on, unless I'm going to church.  Lets be honest, I may not even get a shower each day. I don't get "dressed" in the mornings.  My clothes usually include a T-shirt and Pajama pants. I think to myself, what is the point of getting "real" clothes?  As a result I have very few things I can actually wear, but a clothes full of clothes that don't fit.  What is the point of having a closet of clothes that don't fit?  I have always been a person that doesn't really care what people thought of me.  As long as my husband & my kids love me, who care what others think.  Well, I am starting to realize that my appearance is reflecting on my family.  I DO NOT want people to make judgements on my children, just cause of my appearance.  I used to think that wasn't true, but lets be honest. I know that if I see a person that takes pride in their appearance, they always seem more confidence.  So, thus my theory if you could call it that, is if you take more pride in your appearance, maybe you will take better care of yourself.  And in turn take better care of the people you love.  I don't know about your house, but here the saying " if momma isn't happy, no one is!"  I have to find some way to get in a better place with myself.  I will be back tomorrow with some kind of challenge for myself, so stay tuned.......This will, if nothing else, prove to be entertaining!
