In my house we have one rule. You don’t get to feel good about yourself unless you’ve earned it! The only way any one – in my opinion – is allowed to like who they are and what they are doing, is to actually be doing something to make themselves proud. If you can pick up after yourself and keep yourself clean, then you can feel good about how you look and the status of your room. If you can’t do something, but tired your best, then you can feel good about your effort. I really don’t see how or why people need to feel good about themselves unless there is a tangible reason for it.

It’s been three days since I last heard from SS and I have yet to get a response from her. I emailed her again tonight, so we’ll see where that takes us.
In other news, it is so freaking hot today, I swear, the stuffed animals my kids of in their school room were sweating. It’s not even May yet, and it’s already this hot? I shudder to think of what it will be like in the middle of August. Ugh, I don’t like supper cold weather and I really don’t like supper hot weather. But it looks like I am going to be tortured this year with the mega hot weather. Oh well, that’s life.

I have decided that there are a lot of things I need to change about me. Nothing too drastic, just enough so that I can be exactly who I want to be. So, this is my goal list, and while I know I won’t be able to make any real changes over night, at least I will know what I am working toward.

It’s something I should do anyway. It’s not healthy, and I will probably be able to get more stuff stuff if I am not coughing all the time.

I’ve come up with the wonderful idea. If I limit my caffeine intake, then, I might actually be able to sleep when I want to. Novel concept, I know.
Get my house clean and Organized.
Now, I have two children and four pets. This might be a little more difficult then I want it to be, but if I stop thinking that *I* have to do it all by myself, and get the others in the house to help me, who knows, I might have a totally clean house for five minutes instead of just one room at a time!

I am pretty good with scheduling my time, but I need to make sure that not only do I write on any given day, but that I also edit. That is the MOST important part of writing. I can do a rough draft, now I need to aim for a finished draft.

I think that is enough for now. I can add and change things as needed. I might put up a page for each of my personal goals, but we will see how that goes and as time permits.
