So lately I’ve been in a bit of a rut. By “lately” I mean the last four years! Since I started having kids I’ve fallen into a bad habit of PLANNING and not DOING. I make constant “to-do” lists for these four areas…. Cooking: Anyone who knows me well knows that I DESPISE cooking. I don’t enjoy it and I’ve never been good at it. I think it’s ridiculous to spend time and money and create a big mess in my kitchen on a meal that is over and done with in minutes. Most nights Kenny gets home well past dinner time and my girls only eat about three things anyway. Still…I feel guilty that I don’t make healthy dinners for my family so…I cut out recipes, plan menus and even at times buy the necessary groceries. I just don’t cook.
Reading: I used to love to read books and go to book club. Lately though, I only make lists of books I’d like to read and buy and borrow books. I just don’t read. (No Car, I haven’t started Twilight yet).
Blogging: I love to stalk blogs and check out what is going on with all of my friends. I think it is a great way to keep in touch with people. I also love that it is a family journal and record of all of the day to day stuff. So…I continue to read other people’s blogs, write down fun ideas for posts and think about how I’d decorate my blog. I just don’t blog.
Until now! I’m starting this blog hoping it will inspire me to stop just planning all of the things I want to do and take a little advice from Nike and JUST DO IT!
May I just say that I am honored to enter the first comment on your cute new family BLOG! I’m proud of you – welcome to the Blogosphere! Glad you finally took the leap and just did it. I love your Blog page and I look forward to stalking your blog every day while I am at work. Love you!
