Good Intentions

I always have good intentions.  This week I’m going to try and exercise more. I’m going to stay off facebook. I’m going to throw out a heap of the kids toys. I’m going to keep the house spotlessly clean. I’m going to write. I’m going to edit. Need I go on?  Sadly I have to say that I don’t usually succeed. I always seem to find something else to do, usually helping at the school, reading or watching tv.  I do get the washing done every day and provide lunches every day for my kids and cook a meal (not gourmet) but still what I think is a healthy meal.

I find myself walking into other peoples houses, seeing houses on TV and going – “How the heck do they keep their houses so clean” I want that I really do, but it never happens.

Like today, no school because of inclement weather.  Did I get anything I wanted to do done? No I lazed about and now its almost five in the evening. I really feel like I’ve wasted the day away.

But there is always tomorrow and I have to remember there is more to life than facebook and reading. There is achieving goals. Realising dreams. Being in control.

I think I have to work out a routine and manage my time better. I can do it all.  Even if only little bits at a time. One room at a time. One word at a time. One goal at a time.
