New Week, New Attitude

I am starting this week with a new attitude. I want to be happy, so I will smile as often as possible. I want to be patient, so I will allow my children extra time to complete tasks, and extra reminders to follow directions. I will not raise my voice unless it is a dire emergency. I want to feel accomplished each day, so I will make a list of things I have to get done and work on 3 items each day (this includes preparing meals, laundry, and general cleaning tasks...and probably nothing else). I want to have something to look forward to, so I will maintain a clean house, save my pennies by eating at home, and use Friday's Cookies at Grandma's as my prize!

This week is Luke's birthday. He'll be 5!! Crazy, I know. I don't want him to remember his 5th birthday as the one that mommy lost her marbles and screamed incessantly at his friends.

I hope this plan works...one day at a time...I'll keep you posted.

So, to keep with my "fruity" theme. I have found becoming an orange to be more difficult than I first thought. This week, I'm fine with being a lemon; but when I get squeezed, I'm going to spew lemonade!!
