THIS IS THE YEAR!!!

The shower is one of the only places that I can actually take the time out to think. My children are, well, children... So, they like to make a lot of noise. But, the soothing rhythm of the drops of water pouring from a shower head makes all other sounds disappear. So, while in the shower I came up with a brilliant idea for this blog! Julie Powell gave me the inspiration to start a blog. Through her blog she was able to set goals and complete them. Through her blog she was able to get a better grasp on who she was... So, I've decided that this year, 2010, will be the year that I will accomplish all of my goals that are feasible at this point in my life. Also, I will do something different everyday. Julie COOKED something different everyday, but, (no offense Julie - You'd have to see the movie to understand, think "meat mold") how hard is that really? It's easy to look at a cook book, buy ingredients, and follow directions. The REAL challenge is THINKING by yourself something new to do every day. What I mean by that is, besides the fact that there are SO many things that I haven't done, my life is kinda boring. Don't get me wrong, I love my life, my children, my family... But, how many times can you honestly eat grilled cheese, or color in a coloring book? There is so much more to life! So, I this year I will embrace life and add, or do something new everyday!!!

Alright, so here's this year's goals...

1. Get 20 children sponsored from WorldVision
                                                Please visit http://www.worldvision.org/ to sponsor a child in need
2. Reform one homeless person

3. Loose ten pounds (I know, so cliche, but hey I've been pregnant three times within four years. It's time to get my pre-baby bod back.)

4. Attend church EVERY Sunday

5. Stop all "accidental" potty mouth

So, there are the goals.. Those five "simple" things, and of course doing something new everyday...

So, let the games begin!
