Starting Fresh

So I have been seeing all these cute pins on pinterest, blog posts, and quotes saying something along the lines of, " its never too late to start fresh." Then I was listening to Tim Mcgraw, which isn't an uncommon thing in our house, and his song Better than I used to be spoke to me like kinda of this ah-ha! moment. Starting fresh doesn't mean you have have to move, find new people, and pretend you are someone your not to make a change. My favorite line, 'but I'm learning who you've been ain't who you gotta be'

So why bother telling you this?
 I am not going to say that all my choices were the best ones to make, and I am so NOT a perfect person, but I have just decided to start fresh and finally forgive myself for my choices and hope that this allows me to make even better ones.

I figure that everyone has what I would like to call slumps, moments where the routine or lack thereof causes us to revert to either being lazy or doing the bare minimum. The slumps can be caused by events in our lives, health, contentment and being over worked.

For me my slump is a mix of the health and the stress of my decisions. I have not always been the greatest with laundry, honestly I washed my clothes last week.... and they are still not folded, so my poor husband has to search the bin... bad I know.

So I have decided:

First: I know better.
Second: Expecting more out of myself can be dangerous for me, I tend to stretch myself to thin, so achieving a balance is key.
Third: It doesn't matter what I have done or messed up but holding them against myself gets me now where... I am and can always be better then that.
Fourth: If I commit on the blog and report back, I can hold my self responsible to go through with the change.


I want a well run home. So that when I get stressed because of the things outside of my home,  I know whats in store and that it is doable
things .... to make this possible

this is how I am starting fresh:

• a to do list (that is prioritized relationships first)
• a plan of meals and when to get groceries
• set days to do ordinary house work. laundry, cleaning, and changing sheets
• a list in a place I will look of the odd's and end's that need to get done. 
• and time to be lazy and enjoy my husband. 

So here is to  a new organized me, because thats what life my life needs right now and this slump isn't going to last anymore. I can't expect a fun life to pick up and do fun things when the things that need to get done aren't finished. Here is something I have already checked of my list.....
