Getting back to me!

Absolutely Bananas is hosting another writing prompt today and when I saw the topic I sighed heavily because I couldn’t think of one dang thing. Not one. I am so busy keeping up with the kids and our calendar that I haven’t had time for diddly. Especially myself. But I gave it a couple days and some things came to me that I want to start doing for myself.

For instance I have been so busy that I have actually let my nails grow (I usually bite them off) so I am going to go get my nails painted this week. I plan on going some night that JT can watch the kids and I can go by myself. AH!! The relaxation of it all is already setting in.

Another thing I want to do for myself, start a book club. If you live in STL and write a blog and want to join a book club, or you don’t write a blog and still want to join, contact me, I am really serious about this one. I want to meet once a month and just talk about the book and anything else. I believe it could be a lot of fun. So now that my kids don’t need me constantly, it’s a good time.

So if I am going to start a book club I might as well start scrapbooking more, my goal is to take a couple of classes on scrapbooking so I can meet new scrapbookers and also learn something new.

I should add Yoga since I LOVE yoga and I really need to get into shape… but it’s not going to happen and I am trying to be realistic here. So instead I will say that JT and I are going to go on more dates this winter. I am going to need to get out of the house and we need some time alone. It’s amazing what 5 minutes away from my kids can do for the soul every once in a while. Don’t get me wrong I miss them terribly from the time I get in the car to leave until I arrive to pick them up, but I need my time too.

See it wasn’t so hard after all. Now I off to finish cleaning my house. It’s amazing what a weekend with a sick child and a busy calendar will do to my house.

Check out all the other moms and what they want to get back to doing at Absolutely Bananas.
