Father's day :)

I love my man :) He is such a great guy and an EXCELLENT father :) He is our own personal SUPER HERO!!

I received a link for a cute DIY father's day gift and I thought it was a GREAT idea and easy enough for me to do (I am not very crafty...although I would like to get better)!

Here is a pic of the gift, and a pic of Clint :) Also there is a #1 dad mug in the box and a picture of a golfer on the glass :) Just a couple extra things I threw in :)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

A New Goal

Too soon for a new goal? Maybe. It really does go along with the last goal though. My new goal is turning the computer off for 6 hours in a row every day. I also want to take off an additional hour off per day every month until it is off for 10-12 hours a day. This will go well with my "go with the flow" goal, because if I am off the computer more, I will do a lot more of other things that need to be done.

continuing my last post....

Ok, I'm back..I wanted to say more before but I was a bit rushed because I was having my house appraised and needed to clean clean clean!

My specific goals for June are:

1. Go to bed before midnight

2. Wake up with the kids

3. "Go Inside"... see what is going on with my feelings, what I need in each moment, and see if there is anything I need to ask for help/support with.

Going inside ties into my goal of doing things when it comes naturally rather than reading my list. If I check in with myself regularily, I will be very capable of keeping my life balanced with out too much reliance on my list.

This idea of 'going inside' is from a book I read over 10 years ago that helped me to lose weight and keep it off for over 2 years. I did end up going out of balance again, because I stopped using the method she outlines. The book is called "The Solution. 6 Winning Ways to Permanent Weight Loss" By Laurel Mellin.

The first of six 'cures' is Strong Nurturing. The main idea is to ask yourself regularly the questions of the cure which are: How do I feel? What do I need? and Do I need Support?

I am not sure how often to do this... the more the better!! Hopefully I can remember and also I hope I can find the time to continue reading the book :)

June 9

My goal of going to sleep before 12 and waking up right away with the kids was going good for a while, but I am now at a bedtime of 12:30 and letting the kids jump around on my bed for about a half an hour before I wake up... so better than before, but not exactly what I was aiming for.

My new goal is to go with the flow a bit more. I tend to look at my list of things to do a bit too much instead of doing what makes sense in the moment.
