Change....

Change is inevitable. Sometimes easy, sometimes hard but most of all it's going to happen at some point. Whether it's the change in your heart, the change that others create or change that is needed, there will come a time when it will happen.

I know I need to make changes, first and foremost, I need to change my attitude, to feel better about myself and my abilities and the accomplishments I have made so far.

Second some changes (yes, more than one!) need to happen in our home. Consistency is the first, we need to be more consistent with rules, priveleges and consequences. Chores is the second, we need to work on a schedule of who does what chore and when. Third is setting an example. How can I expect my kids to keep their room organized when I can't keep the dining room table clear!?

And lastly, we need to work on being more healthy. My oldest daughter is pushing the limits with her weight, I'm overweight and my husband is starting to gain. So some dietary changes need to be made and we all need to make an effort to be more healthy and active.

So these next couple of months we will be working on change, a little bit at a time.
