I have a few resolutions this year, but have them written down on a few different pieces of paper. Let's see:
Read and study more of the Bible
Save money
Get organized
Exercise
Eat better
Get organized!
Improve handwriting
Get my priorities straight wife/mom/PTA
Get Organized!!!!
Make time to scrapbook
Whew! It feels good to get them written down where I can see them. Right now my primary focus is on getting organized (really). I feel like I'm drowning in the Sea of Clutter. I did start cleaning off and reorganizing my scrapbook desk. The only problem with this is that not nearly all if my stuff will fit on/under my desk, so I'm going to scrapbook more (one of the wishes on Emma's Christmas/Birthday list was "a full scrapbook)!
I've recently done a little soul searching. I've enjoyed my time as president of the PTA and have made lots of new friends but I've also let it consume my time. I've got to keep reminding myself that I'm a wife and mom first and PTA priorities come second. The end of my second, and final, year as president is almost here. Sadly, I feel like I've lost too much of myself along the way. Some days it's hard to remember who I am. I chose not to be a "working" mom so that I could spend more time with my kids and make my house into the ideal picture I have in my mind but the past 2 years of my life have been about involvement outside of the most important thing - my family. Don't get me wrong, I've learned so much during this time and hope I've made a difference in some child's life but my journey isn't about being the top dog and stressing myself out volunteering to do whatever's asked of me. It's all about priorities, and I've got to change mine. But how do you say no when a friend is in need? Something to think about...
