My 2014 plan

Here we are. A brand new year. I love New Years, new months, new seasons, Mondays. I like to think it gives me a fresh start, a chance to make things better, a do over. I used to make resolutions, but realized I never complete them. This year I'm going to try and just make me and us better. Live a better life, eat healthier, be kinder, nicer, more caring. This life of mine is crazy, but I've finally realized it is MY life. I have to make it what I want it. So instead of a resolution here is my plan...
1. Love my children with my whole heart and be the best mom I can be no matter the situation or how they treat me.
2. Be a kind, caring, loving wife who treats my husband how he should be treated.
3. Try to make the best of this house we are living in and try my best to make it feel like a home to all of us.
4. Walk at least 1 mile 5 days a week. Eat healthier, smoke less, and laugh more.
5. Have fun. The chaos of life has left little joy in our day to day. I'd like to find some happiness in my life.
6. Plan better. We homeschool. I need a better plan for our days.

So, that's about it. That's what I want out of this year. Be happy, healthy, a good mom and wife. I would like to say I'm going to figure out a way to get us out of debt and out of this house, but not this year. Maybe next.

A little about me

• Hi. I'm Beth. I'm a 37 year old mom of 5 married to the best man I have ever known living in east Texas. For years I told people, "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell". Yes, I stole that line from Rob Thomas. Recently I've decided I was wrong. Yes I'm crazy. I'm a mom. Being a mom is hard. I have 4 sons ranging in age from 18-7 and a brand new baby girl that is 7 months old. Every day is a challenge. Every day is hard. And every day I think I'm losing my mind. I've decided crazy land is a fine place to be and I'm just going to go with it. I hope to use this blog as an outlet and a vent. I'd like to say it will be funny and inspiring, but who am I kidding. I just don't want to end up committed before I get baby girl raised. In between daily life I hope to track my weight loss journey. I lost 50lbs after I had baby girl, but have gained about half of that back. I'd like to get back to losing instead of gaining. So, that's a little about me. I'll try to post daily, but days seem to get away from me so we will see how it goes.
