I realize that currently I am the only one actually reading this blog, but that’s ok. This blog is mainly for me.
I had hoped to use this blog as a way to track and release my thoughts. What happened is that I got very overwhelmed with work and personal issues. I wound up barely having time to sleep, much less any extra activities like blogging. I got very stressed, to the point it was making me mentally and physically sick.
I now realize that writing here “could” have helped me to release and relax. I will try to keep it up, but with two little boys now it is even harder.
I am trying to get my act together at home. We are doing some things that should help us get into a healthy rhythm. I have vowed to quit smoking by this weekend (we will see if I can do it this time). We have started planning out meals two weeks at a time to assist with budgeting and eating healthier. I am also trying to get a grip on our wasteful spending habits (anyone got any ideas let me know). Finally I am struggling to get a hold on my job. I am setting limits and boundaries for working times while attempting to be more organized and diligent about what I do work on.
I will detail each of these in the next few days, but I am up for any ideas anyone may have. I have searched the Internets and (mostly) found only advice that is idealistic not realistic. So I believe that I will have to come up with something on my own that truly fits my family.
