I am tossing around the idea of going back to church, say I, the self proclaimed atheist. It would be nice once a week to have a place to be lifted up, motivated and a place to give back. I have struggled with organized religion, even as a child. I was raised Catholic and can honestly say I never believed in anything the church taught. I only went because I would get in trouble if I didn't. My views are slowly changing as I age.
There are many projects around the house and yard of ours to be started and completed. Many things to work on with the kids. My son is in the 4th grade and was invited to take the GATE test the end of this month. If he passes the test and is accepted into the GATE program I think it's another way to teach him about hard work and knowledge. Knowledge is POWER. Our parenting style is not that you have to come home with straight A's, however, at the end of the day you have to be able to say that you worked hard. It is a fight most nights to get him to complete his homework, so if gets in to GATE it will be even harder.
I want to reconnect with my girl friends. Like really connect.. start doing things again with them. Just having dinner or going to the park with the kids. Sharing laughs, sharing some tears, or sharing whatever...
Make time for my husband. You know how busy life gets and our husband's patiently sit on the back burner waiting for us women to pay attention to them. I need to stop doing that, IMMEDIATELY!
Last but not least, take time for myself. Ensure I am eating right and exercising for my health. If I don't have my health I have nothing else.
As the days and months progress I will be sure to update my blog.
