Time

24 hours in a day...why 24? Sometimes I think I wish there was more TIME in a day...WHY? Instead I think I should be focusing where my time is going. Of course I should be "SUPER MOM" of the year, a couponer, a crafter, a sewer, a chef, a soccer mom, a neat freak, exercise and eat right, and of course do all that and have a career or atleast be going to school right?!....When did "STAY AT HOME MOM", become "you don't do anything"? I have been like MOST people in this country focusing my energy on my resolutions for the NEW YEAR, some say, forget those resolutions, other have said...why does it take a new year for you to change?...and some say making goals are like setting yourself up for failure! I SAY SCREW YOU! jk lol...I have always thought that each year is great to start a new of something, maybe everything...but to me it's fresh, and new...so why not be fresh and new too! We get so caught up in the goal making that when it's time to start making the steps, that's where we fail. I think that when we make our minds up of what it is we want to achieve and do, IT WILL HAPPEN. I believe that whole heartedly. I think with my goals, it's about TIME MANAGEMENT. I think I spend too much time on the internet, I think I spend too much time doing laundry, I think I spend too much time at my moms or my sisters house when I'm there, I think I sleep too long, I think my time management is screwed. Baby steps is what its gonna take for me, but I hope if anyone reads this that they don't get discouraged with their goals, and to just do what you can, and KEEP ON KEEPIN ON! I would never say to my kids, don't do that you'll fail...so why is it so hard for me to say it to myself? We are like our childrens BIGGEST cheerleaders in life, can I be my own cheerleader in life for ME? lol...I always think about that, I'm always like why can't I just GO FOR IT, or do this, or learn that...then those evil demons in the back of my head say...JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE, you're fine, don't try that, big deal, don't do that...stay home, blah blah blah blah blah. lol. I would really like to focus my time on
1- My Family (kids and hubbs)
2- ME (health, and personal goals)
3- DEBT FREE LIFESTYLE
These are 3 TIME CONSUMING things. So with that being said, if u don't see me around...if you wanna invite me to dinner, or a movie, or something involving money, don't bother...I'm living the poor mans life til we can BUY our home debt free, and living richfully sound. :) It may take us a year, 2 years...but we are doing it, we are taking the steps, it feels gratifying that Pulu is by my side on this...we are afraid, but the great news is we are heading down the right direction, and that feels great!

Dang, I was gonna invite you to dinner and a movie....shot down...haha j/k, I agree that time management is so important, and so hard! I want to find more time to sleep...I know that sounds crazy, but I don't really sleep that much and I does affect everything I do. You're right though, family first!
