It's been a busy last couple of weeks.
Summer is officially over and the wind is back. We spent last week in Montana with my dad (probably the last time we'll be there for a while now) and were greeted at home with three days of nonstop wind. This is not your average breeze, it's wind that makes me not want to leave the house. So I didn't. For three days. Very depressing.
For me, September is New Years #2. There's something about kids heading back to school that screams new beginnings. So I've decided to get over myself and get my life back on track. I had a good talk with Kenny last night in which we both decided that I hate my life right now. Might have something to do with the whole never leave the house thing. I realized that ever since I've become a mom, I am too easily defeated and really need a change of perspective when it comes to being a housewife. So I made a couple September resolutions:
1.) Go out and do things. Don't use having a baby as an excuse. Go out even if he's fussy.
2.) Relax and don't put so much pressure on myself to get things done.
3.) Lower the bar and look for a sense of accomplishment in the small things.
4.) Have a better attitude towards motherhood. Know that raising a child is the most important and rewarding opportunity I could have as well as the job that God has given to me at this point in my life.
So today, armed with a Cuddly wrap and a soother, I took Owen out to run some errands whether he liked it or not, and it was a success! (Minus the fact that he spit up a giant puddle of mama's milk on the floor in Michael's AND Shopper's) I felt triumphant when I got home, like I'd just ran a 30k marathon. Here's to a new me...
