Making some changes...

It's been a while, I know.  Although I'm not sure that anyone reads this, so I guess no one has missed my random blogs.  =) 

I've decided to make some changes in my life.  I've tried to make some of these changes time and time again, but I'm really tired of putting off what I can get started on now.

First, I am back on Weight Watchers for about the 113th time.  My goal is to lose 20-30 lbs.  No deadline...I just want to work my way there.  Even if it takes a year, two years.....I want to lose 20-30 lbs.  That's it. 

Second, kind of in conjunction with WW, I want to exercise more and get fit.  More like I used to be.  Part of this is spurred on by the fact that in the next 5 weeks I have to prepare to be in a show choir reunion show from high school.  I am so excited for this, but know that I am in no way the same shape I was in when I was singing/dancing on a regular basis.  But even after the reunion is over, I want to stay more fit.  I just FEEL better when I'm doing a regular fitness schedule - I think most of us do.

Third, I want to save more money.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE couponing, but I want to learn even more about it.  I am going to go to a class/meeting with someone who is phenomenal with her couponing, and I hope to save our family several hundred dollars each month by doing this.  I am considering this to be part of my job now. 

Finally, I want to be a better mom and wife.  Don't you just get tired of constantly complaining, yelling, nagging, and not being able to have FUN with your kids??  I do.  I want to have fun with them - they won't always be little and innocent.  God has given them to us to raise, and I am honored that He gave us the kids that we have....they are amazing little creatures - smart, funny, adorable, talented.  I am a mom and could go on and on, but I need to go on and on about them TO them.  So that's what else I want to change.  They deserve a mom who disciplines, but who also shows them how to live, laugh, and love unconditionally. 

I'll let you know how all of this works out.  =)  Until next time, whenever that may be...
