LIsts

In my ongoing quest to figure out how to do this whole sahm thing I am constantly coming up with lists; Sheets of paper I fill out with things that I want to accomplish (whether that be to clean the bathroom more often than twice a year or to lose weight). Lists on how I want the typical day in our house to go. Lists of things I need to organize in our house, lists of things I need to get done that day, lists on things I need to get done PERIOD. I feel like there are always so many things that I tell myself I want to do, that I should do, but just never get around to do because I'm too busy, too tired, too impatient. So I've been trying out a list of things that I need to get done every day, every week, month, etc. I find peace in organizing my life within the white leather walls of my planner. Perhaps it's the false illusion that I in some way have some control over my life. Every morning is a clean slate, a new opportunity to become the person I so want to be.

Things that I am grateful for today: the time that I had today to read my book, coffee, watching my adorable daughter sleep next to me in her bouncy seat (not grateful for the fact that she is six months old now and still refuses to sleep anywhere I'm not lol)
