Resolutions

Well, I never make them becuase I always break them. The usual, Join a gym, stop eating fattening food (as if) Stop spending money, start a proper savings account, work harder, earn more money, become a super parent blah blah blah......The fact is I'm not going to do any of those things because I'm me, and those things are not what I'm about. If I tell myself I'm not supposed to do something, guess what I'm going to want to do it more ;) So I think resolutions should be about being kinder to ourselves, here goes...

Making sure I take one afternoon a week to do exactly what I want to do without feeling guilty

I intend to work smarter not harder, meaning using my time wisely, learning to delegate and stop being a control freak and make sure what I'm doing is going to give me a proper return so I'm not wasting my time.

I intend to spend more quality time with L, I have that mother habit of when we are at home I say 'i'll play later, I just have to do this washing, finnish this ironing and make sure the kitchen is spotless' I figure all those things can wait and are not important during play time.


Thats leads me on to the other thing, I keep saying it but I really need some help at home. A cleaner, just to take some pressure off so I can come home to a tidy house just once or twice a week, bliss :)
I will also start believing in myself, I'm capable of anything when I put my mind to it (we all are) the only thing holding me back is that nagging voice that says 'but what if' and 'are you sure thats wise?' I have so many dreams, hopes and ambitions, the only thing stopping me.... is me.
