There are things that I am not good at (shocking I know- ;-) ). I want to be better at them, but in the hussle and bussle of life, they get put down to the bottom of my list of things to do. So, here is my list, I hope it acts as some accountability for me.
I am bad at...
1. Asking for help- I feel as if my load is my problem or mine to deal with, so I don't want to dump any of it on anyone else, because I know everyone has stuff to do.
2. Calling people- I love helping other people, talking, eating together, catching up on life, and yet I never pick up the phone to talk or get together with people. When I do get on the phone the kids go crazy, so I just choose not to.
3. Believing in myself- When it comes to me, the cup is half empty. But when it comes to other people, the cup is half full or completely full.
4. Releasing my worries- I will converse with God about the worries, struggles, and prayers that I have, but a part of me still thinks I need to hang on to at least a sliver, as if I really can control the situations.
5. CLEANING- You've heard it here before, I hate cleaning. I love a clean house, but I hate to be the one who has to make it that way. This goes back since I was a kid (you know mom!). I get so distracted by everything else, that I completely forget what I was doing and then there is a bigger mess than before. It's like how some people can't read with music or tv on, I can't clean with anyone around me, or I fail miserably.
6. Waking up early- The problem starts with going to bed early to wake up early. I still have the hopes of waking up at 6:30 everyday to workout. It's only happened once. Here is my legitimate excuse- Brenton works til 10 many nights and doesn't get home til almost 11 so I want to see and talk with him before the whole routine starts again in the morning. So we are up til 12-1 and then the kids want to be up at 7:30a I am wiped out!
That's all for now. I think that is enough things to try and be better at. I really do intend to at least try to be better.
I'm so with you on the morning thing! Oh my goodness, I woke up at 5 am for over a year to walk four miles outside (yes even in the below zero temps) and it still didn't become a habit. I have given up getting up early! I have to get my walks in during day hours and if I can't then well I can't!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet offer! I'm actually doing much better. I really think that this mystery fever was my body making a change. I can't explain Tuesdays deal, but Nico had strep over the weekend and I just didn't want to take any chances with getting any of you sick! I wish I could have come yesterday!! I hope to see you guys and Carrie soon and we will have to meet up at parks! BTW - You contacted me - you are better at that then you think! That's my down fall - I get into a rut and don't want to change my routine, but regret it cuz I didn't get to see or hookup with anybody! I too need to get better! Let's do parks this summer!!
