Resolutions

You might be wondering  what on earth these short daily posts are about,  so I thought I'd talk about it for a sec. Someone posted this article just before the new year http://thoughtcatalog.com/brianna-wiest/2015/12/16-goals-to-set-for-next-year-that-are-more-about-enjoying-what-you-have-than-chasing-what-you-dont/

It really spoke to me. Each January I always say, "I'm going to lose weight or I'm going to do this and that" but it never happens. So this year I'm just going to focus on what I DO have and how I can enjoy all of that. Simplify things.  Get rid of stuff. Change things that drive me nuts. Take time for myself to do things I like to do. And write more.

At the end of the day I feel like I have a million things rolling around in my head and writing is really like therapy for me. I just quit taking antidepressants  a couple weeks ago after being on them 2+ years and I feel better already. At first they helped,  but lately they seem to be making me crazier. So, here I am. Trying to work on healing myself from the inside and not worrying about all of those resolutions that get given up by Valentines Day.

Grandma's here to visit!  Yahoo!

Went fabric shopping and out for coffee today with a friend. Feels amazing to get out without kids!

My boys went to preschool yesterday!  They loved it, and Ollie only hit one kid.
