Saturday was not a bad day. I took the kids shopping for bathing suits and to do some grocery shopping. It's amazing when a 13, 11 and 9 year old are good for 4 whole hours in a row. I was really proud of them. I think they understood that I really just needed for them to act like I know they can. We wanted to get out of the house to give Jason a little bit of quiet. It was too hot for us to just be outside so shopping was the answer.
While we were out we stopped at Petco to get some fish food and a few new fish. The kids tried their best to get me to adopt a new kitten. Of course they all promised to take care of it and that I wouldn't have to do a thing. Ha ha ha! It's not my first rodeo.
Lately, I have come to the realization that I sabotage all of my hard work of exercising and eating healthy just because I can't decide what to do instead of having an afternoon drink or weekend snack. I thought at first it was boredom but it's really not, it's indecision. There are soo many things that I like to do: read, knit, catch up on tv shows, go through magazines, pick new pinterest recipes, learn more about blogging, photography, etc. There are really many, many things that I enjoy doing. The problem is that there are so many, I just don't know where to start. I also feel that maybe taking that time for myself is selfish. I shouldn't feel that way, I am the everything person. If it's needed, I get it done. Period.
This is the mindset that needs to be changed the most. Maybe I need to keep a list of these things and randomly pick one each day. Just let that be my choice without making a choice. Or maybe, I need to learn to be more decisive. Maybe not say maybe anymore and just do.
