My Goals.......(BG Apron Challenge)

I have a new lo swirling in my head...and today is the day to get it done for the apron contest....
i have SO much personal growth to do .... and I feel like I have done it all; however, am not even close to what I want to be - I am feeling "perfect" as I am now ... I do know that ... as for the goals... they are CTMH .... my children .... i need to quit nitpicking so much .... and wanting perfection when I am not there myself ... so what if they can't wash the dishes like me, vacuum like me, clean up (in general) like me.... but they can LAFF and have FUN like me!!!! & wear that smile with pride! :)

I want to learn to stop the demanding of them ... and accept them for who and what they stand for! Love unconditionally .... (*coughs*) No more yelling 'cuz something was not done RIGHT THEN and THERE cuz I asked ... (I don't get things done right when I want it done either!) *lol*

Remember ... Choose Your Battles mama! :)
Which brings me to my Apron Challenge...here is my entry

Well ....

Getting things In Order and Back to Our Routine

Well, things are getting pretty hectic at home here as I get things back in order...and TRYING to put our family back on a schedule .... school starts pretty quick here! (Work starts next week for me ... n' then ... the kids are back in school!) Seems SO FAR away yet it is SO CLOSE in reality! lol

DD's are switching roomz ... they are NOT happy with their rooms ... so we are busy doing that ... I am getting all the main roomz cleaned up and rearranging ... did the kitchen today ... and dining room ... living room .... have the bathrooms tomorrow ...and get all the linens done ... OMG I am goin nuts!! But it will be well worth it when it is all done!

DS had his room finished lickety split already! He was on a mission and did it! Proud of him :)
He just has to finish his laundry and put it away :)

DD's are SO lazy! They can't even collect the JUNK n' GARBAGE in their rooms let alone their laundry .... they are the struggle to get things done ... if they don't get going and done they are looking forward to grounding! lol

Well, in a few days I am going to be heading to my workshops.... that is going to be a LONG time away from my family! chuck...the babies...the kids! WHOA! 6 days away from'em....
ugh! Gonna be lonely! (Wish Chuck could come)....

Thatz all thatz goin on with me today ... I am going to try to make an attempt to update everyday here .... (my own personal goal) ... so I can just copy and paste for my journaling on any lo's I do) :)

Well - take care everyone and thank you for coming by to see what I am up to :)

*hugs*

*~* This Boy *~*


Justyce Jonathan Phoenix
LINCOLN
has stolen my heart with his big smile ....
and his innocence...

I just love this lil' honey -
he has brought so much
awareness to myself....

his willingness to laugh, love, smile, 
and most of all....
*TRUST*
he always has a smile to share ....
a contagious laugh that when you hear it ...
you can't help but laugh along with him -
and that makes him laugh even more so..
Yup - it makes you laugh MORE too!
