31 Days to a Better Me day 31

WAHOO, we made it 31 Days of me rambling!!!  Thanks for sticking with me.

I did learn a lot from writing a post everyday for 31 days:

I should have chosen a topic to write about that I am passionate about.  I am passionate about my house, design, and beautiful things.  Not so passionate about improving me.

I got great practice at posting often, I think that it will make my blog better.

My blogging skill base has increased 10 fold.  A month ago I had no idea how to do anything.  Now I can do a lot of nifty blogging stuff.

I am now in the habit of taking my camera with me everywhere.  Not only am I prepared for bloggy inspiration, but I am getting a ton of beautiful pics of my kids.

So today for my last idea for me becoming a better me, I am going to take a nap!

I am exhausted by all of the seeming constant blogging, so today I am taking it easy and taking a nap.  Becoming a better me!

I want you to know that the things that I talked about this month I really took to heart.  I am still working on all them.  I just appreciate all of you who stayed with me on this journey!!

I told you that I would show you all of my minions together today, so here they are.  We went to Trunk or Treat at church last night and the "Minions" were a big hit.

Thanks so much for reading!!  Feel free to leave me a comment, I'll try and read them before my nap.  If not I will read them when I get up!! :)

31 Days to a Better Me day 30

I have to tell you that my big boys were out of school Thursday and Friday for parent/teacher conferences.  And my husband is out of town with the military.   So by last night we had all been in the house with no breaks from each other for 3 days.  I tried to work on projects and my boys tried to "help" with those projects. 

I was talking on the phone with my sister last night, and I think she just recognized a mother who needed a break.  She said "hey, why don't I come get the boys and we can have a sleep over!!"  At first I thought "No, I am fine"  (shhhh don't tell anyone but, I have a hard time accepting help...don't tell)  Then I thought "hey why not".

I used to spend time alone all the time.  I like it.  I have been surrounded by my little people so long that I have forgotten how much I enjoy being alone. 

I did a little shopping (for more projects), I finished a quilt that I made for my niece yesterday, I watched TV, it was great. 

I think that it is good sometimes to let someone else take the reins and just do me for a minute.  You know what else... I miss my kids!

Spending some time alone made  me a better me!

                                                         Bring on the sweat pants!

Thanks for coming by and looking, feel free to leave me a comment.  I am just hanging out!!

Listen, I have to be honest I am out of inspiration.  I feel like I am at the end of a marathon, where you want to quit running but you're commited so you just keep going. 

Today I was thinking about something.  Something that I guess could make me a better person.  I was petting my dog, and realized that I just don't pay my furry children enough attention.  I mean I talk to them and tell them to get off whatever project I am working on, but not the kind of attention that I used to pay them.

I have two dogs.  Winston a dachshund (weiner dog), and Hunter a German Shorthair Pointer.

I decided to write this post on my pets and set out to take the cutest pet pictures ever.  I got 1 usable shot of Winston (I now know why they say never work with kids or animals, they just will not cooperate!)  Then I went to find Hunter, he was no where to be found.  I was panic stricken. 

We got Hunter when we were 18 (my pre-husband, and I) he was our child before we had children.  There were big consequences that came along with owning him, but we gladly paid those prices.  He was worth it.

Then as child #1 came he got push out a little, and so on for #2 and #3.  It was only natural as actual children came and needed my attention, they got it.  I am sad about that, but it is what it is.

So today when I couldn't find him, my first thought was that something had happened to him. He is 13, it is not out of the question.  I found him and he was fine but it just reiterated to me that I must make them a bigger part of my day!

I think that I would be a better pet owner, a better me.

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave me a comment!  I am just petting the dog.

I tried to get a picture of Hunter but he just kept thinking that he was in trouble.  So a picture was not worth torturing him over.

I don't really feel like talking about myself today. I have so much to get done today that it feels a little silly for me to spend my time thinking of yet another way for me to improve myself.

Maybe that is the idea for today. Maybe instead of thinking of lofty ideas of how I could become a better me, I could just get going and get some stuff done.

I think that getting to work could make me a better me!

So I guess that I am off to clean the kitchen, do the laundry, and mow the lawn!!

We are almost there people!!  Wahoo!

Anyhow, todays topic is near and dear to me.  I want to talk about reduce, reuse, recycle.   I am practically a hippie when it comes recycling, and reducing (as in not wasting), however sometimes the reusing is  a little harder for me. 

When I look at a used soup can, I don't automatically think about awesome path lanterns.

                                                                                     source
Okay, so I really just throw it in the recycle bag and move on.  But maybe I should spend more time thinking about what I can reuse otherwise discarded items for.  I am cheap and reusing items that I have already paid for seems to fit the bill.

Look at some of the other cute things that I found while out looking for inspiration.

                                                                       salvagedgrace.com
Those are old light bulbs...so cute.

                                                                           source
You know because everyone has stacks of burlap coffee bags laying around the house!

                                                                                 source
That light is made of recycled paper, maybe not for my house but still cute!

There is so much inspiration out there, there is really no reason not to reuse.  Well, other than laziness/business which may also be my problem.

I think that reusing will make me a better person!

Today I want to talk about something that I have struggled with maybe all of my life.  It is diligence. 
I find that I make goals to do things and then I get side tracked by one thing or another.

I want to remember to be diligent in a few areas.  I should be more diligent in my faith.  I want to be a more diligent friend/ family.  I really want to be more diligent with my children, saying what I mean and meaning what I say. 

I really have been talking about this the whole month in a way, but those have been goals.  I feel like diligence is more of a life style change. 

I think that if I learn how to be more diligent, I will be a better me!

Spent the day at the pumpkin patch with my youngest, this is the kind of cuteness that I must deal with on a daily basis.

Since there really isn't an image that deals with diligence, I thought that I would show you my baby!!

If this is your first time here, Thanks for reading!  Feel free to leave a comment, I am diligent about reading them!

The flu has come to town.  My youngest had it on Saturday, then yesterday afternoon I started to feel queasy.  I knew immediately that I was in trouble.

By 4pm I was in full blown flu mode, which wouldn't be such a big deal except my husband is gone with the military and I have to do it by myself.

So I was texting my hubs (looking for sympathy) and I told him that I just didn't have time to be taken out by the flu.  I have halloween costumes to finish, errands to run, laundry, house...  He texted me back something that really took me by surprise.  He said "it is pretty sad that we are so busy we don't have time to get sick".  You know what it is true! 

I had not planned on talking about "lessening the load"  but here I am thinking about it. 

I don't know how I am going to get less busy,  I don't know what I can cut out and still feel good about myself.  But I am going to give it some thought now that it is on my radar.

I think that a less busy me would be a better me!

My tummy trouble started to settle down at about midnight, just in time for my oldest to come into my room and tell me that he was sick.  We then spent the next 6 hours in the bathroom...yay!

He is finally sleeping!   Wish me luck, there is still one more boy who hasn't gotten it yet.

Take a leap of faith.  It sounds so easy and intimidating at the same time.  I have a hard time taking these leaps, I find it much easier to stay in my comfort zone. 

Starting this blog was a huge leap of faith for me.  I thought that if I open up to the world that I would also be opening myself to criticism, and judgement.  I felt called to do this so here I am, blogging.  I don't know where I will land, but I feel like I will be a better person by taking the leap. 

Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to grow, and I feel a growth spurt coming!!  So bring on the new experiences.  You can't fly, unless you catch some air.  Right?

31 Days to a Better Me day 23

So today I spent the day with my sister, her husband, my brother and wife, mother, and all of the children and nephews and 1 niece.  I know that I am way late with this post, but I think that you will understand.

My mother raised my brother, sister and I as a single mother.  When I was 12 she remarried and things were supposed to be happily ever after.  But 4 years ago shortly after buying a new house my step dad was diagnosed with cancer.  Two years ago he lost his battle. 

My mother is still trying to turn this house into her forever house, single handed.  Sometimes I get so involved in my life that I lose sight of her needs.  Sometimes she needs help, to accomplish her dreeams.

Thankfully, my sister recognized the fact that my mom needed help.  So today we all descended upon her house for a full on work fest! 

I spent the day priming, staining,  painting, sanding, and busting the chops of my siblings.  It was nice to be working as a unit.  I love being with them, and their children.

My mother was so thankful for the help, but I was thankful for the opportunity to spend more time with my family.   I need to make more time to spend with my extended family.  I realize as life goes on that nothing is guaranteed.  There is no guarantee of one more christmas, family dinner, or even tomorrow.  I want to spend as much time with them as I can.  I think that it would make me a better person

Since I can't post without a picture here is a picture of my hand. Do you ever feel like your hands are in a perpetual state of splattered paint, stain, spray paint etc.?  Or is that just me?

Yeah I am picking paint off as I type this post.  I know I am a weirdo.

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave me a comment.   Especially if you know how to paint and have a nice manicure too!

31 Days to a Better Me day 22

The next idea for me to become a better me is to be in service of someone else. 

There are several ways to do that, today I am in service of my 3 year old.

He woke up this morning sick.  So today I will spend the day watching him sleep, hurrying him to the bathroom, and cleaning up vomit.  Mostly though I will love on him, and make him know that he is loved.

As wives and mothers we spend most of our time in the service of others.  But I would like to be in service of those that are less fortunate than I am.  I already donate food and money, but my husband and I would like to take it to the next step and physically serve people. 

                                                                             source No that is not my husband or me. 

In our neck of the woods, before you can serve food to anyone you have to take a class.  It is called the Food Handlers Course.  I have taken it before, in my younger waitressing days.  Let me tell you it is riveting!!

The hubs and I plan to take the course so that we can give our time to those who could benefit from it.

Ultimately, I think that when you humble yourself to others it is you who benefits.  I also want our children to see the importance of giving of yourself to the service of others.  Not only will I be a better me but hopefully my kids will be better people too!

If this is your first time here, Thanks for coming!!  Feel free to leave me a comment, it humbles me!

Only ten more day til I can stop going on and on about myself and start to get to some serious housey goodness!!  I can hardly wait.

Today I want to talk about something that I do (unintentionally) all the time.

I rarely stop to take it all in.  I know that life is going faster and faster, and my kids seem to be growing at an even more accelorated rate.  However, I get to going so fast just trying to keep up that I rarely take the time to enjoy it. 

Today, on our way home from school the sun was bright the temperature was nice and it was a perfect autumn afternoon.  I rarely give my children candy, but today I bought each one of the boys a push pop.  As we were driving and they were happily enjoying their candy I saw the true beauty of the day.

The sweet candy smell, 3 shiny happy faces enjoying the comradery of brotherhood, the sun on my skin, this life that we are given is a true blessing!  I want to notice it more, I think it would make me a better person!

So the other day I told you that I became a better me by treating myself.  I got myself a new pair of yummy boots.

Well, today I am going to become a better person by treating someone else!  My mother is coming here to watch my sons school program and I am going to treat her to dinner!  Sometimes, it doesn't take much to make someone else know that they are special and that you care about them.  So I am going to take her to her favorite mexican restaurant and get her some awesome steak Quesadilla(?)

By the way,  I became a master boat mechanic today.  Lets just say that I am not going to quit my job!!

31 Days to a Better Me day 19

Today has been an adventure. 

My husband is gone with the military.  It is my job to be the Mom, Dad, mechanic, problem solver etc.  Todays issue is that I need to take my boat to be winterized, frost is coming. 

I am not the one that tows the boat.  That is my husbands job!!  But being a military wife you sometimes have to do things that you are not comfortable with, today is my day.

So after dropping the kids off at school, I got in my husbands big diesel truck and set off to get the boat.  We store the boat in a cover storage facility near the lake so that we don't have to tow it so far.  It takes about 45 minutes on the turnpike to get there.  I was so nervous the whole way there!!


My little assistant

See I was nervous for a few reasons:  I have never hooked up the trailer by myself,

The space that I have to pull the trailer out of is tiny,

I was really worried about rubbing the side of the boat down the support beams (that would be a bad day!)

So I got the trailer all hooked up, the last thing to do was to put up the motor so that I could tow it away.

So I hit the button to put the motor up....nothing happened.  Huh, now what do I do?

So I borrowed one of these from my brother in law.  Yeah...nothing.

So I bought some of these, hooked it up to that great big diesel and.....nothing.

Frustrated and on the verge of tears, I started to drive home.  Then I decided that I could not give up that easily.

I pulled up my big girl pants and called the boat people.  I explained the situation, and now after visiting with them for a while I have diagrams of what to do.

I have no idea how this is going to turn out.  Tomorrow I will head back to the boat and play boat mechanic.

The moral of the story is that I tend to think that I cannot do things like this without my husband.  I assume that he will take care of it.  I want to be more capable.  There were about 15 times today where I wanted to give up and say that I cannot do it.  Sometimes we have to keep pushing forward, and make it happen for ourselves!!  I feel this is a lesson that will serve me in many areas of my life.  Around the house things stay broken until my husband is home long enough to fix them.  I just assume that I cannot fix them myself. 

On this road to a better me, I want to force myself to be more capable.  More confident in my own abilities!!  Ultimately I will be a better person.

If this is your first time here, Thank you for visiting!!  Feel free to leave me a comment (especially if you are a boat mechanic with advice)  it makes me more confident!

31 Days to a Better Me day 17

WAHOO!! we are more than half way to being over with the 31 days series!! 

Okay, now back to what I started this post to talk about.  Let me set the scene for todays post.

Me:  Angel, where are your shoes?

5 year old:  I don't know?

Me:  well, you're going to need to find those so you can eat breakfast!

Now my first instinct is to franticly search the house looking for the lost shoes, grumbling about how he is so irresponsible. 

He goes to look for his shoes.

5 y/o:  (growing more frustrated, yelling, clinched fists) I am going to miss breakfast!!

Me:  I am so sorry sweety, but your shoes are your responsibility.  Where did you leave them?

5 y/o:  I don't know!!  (walking away, yelling something indistinct)

He finally found his shoes, and all is well right?  Not exactly.

Me:  Angel?  Where is your lunch bag?  I can't make you a lunch if I don't have a lunch bag.  Better go find it.

Picture a very angry, hungry, yelling five year old.  You pretty much get it. 

Ultimately, he missed breakfast, and had to eat hot lunch (he hates hot lunch).  Which sounds really mean right?  But the bigger point is that I taught him a lesson in responsibility.  I am normally the kind of mother that would do everything for my kids.  They would normally never leave the house without breakfast or with mismatched clothes.  But I have been taking a parenting class recently that pointed out to me that though that may work in the short term, long term I am not preparing them for the real world.  I have to let them own their own problems.

I went into school and talked to his teacher and explained the story.  I was thinking that she would think that I was a horrible mother.  How could I let him go to school with no breakfast?  Instead, she congratulated me on making my son be responsible for himself.  She assured me that he would have a snack after morning recess, so he would not starve to death.

Ultimately my job as a mother is to give my boys the tools that they need to survive in the big world.  Not to hover over them and make sure that everything is perfect for them.  Instead of grumbling about my son not being responsible, I made him a little more responsible.

Just to let you know, he puts his lunch bag on the counter first thing when he walks in the door.  His shoes are put in his closet, and if they are not he looks for them himself. 

By making him a better person I make myself a better person.  I taught my kid something!  

If this is your first time here, Thanks for coming!!  Feel free to leave me a comment, I am very responsible about reading them!

31 Days to a Better Me day 16

There has been a journey going on in my life for a couple of years now.  It has been a long road but I am happy to report that the road has ended.

For about two years now I have been looking for the perfect riding boots.  I found lots that I loved online, but in person they would fall short of my expectations. 

One day I was browsing online at Vonmaur.com and stumbled upon some great looking boots.  They were called the Hobart riding boot made by Ecco.  They looked good online but the true test would be when I saw them in person.  One day I stopped in the Von Maur and thought that this would put an end to it.  Much to my surprise I loved them more in person than I had online.  RATS.  Now I knew that I really wanted them.

source

The problem is that now I agonized over these boots for weeks, wanting them but feeling guilty about spending so much money on myself.  My husband told me to just go and get them, but something was holding me back.

Then one day I was whining  talking to my mother about how  I wanted these boots, and had been looking so long...and on..and on.  Then my mother said something that made real sense to me.  She said that we as mothers spend so much time caring for, providing for other people that sometimes we forget to care for ourselves.

The truth is that I spend so much time in the mommy trenches cleaning, laundering, wiping up, cleaning poo, taking temperatures etc that I don't feel special most of the time.  Every once in a while if I am able ($) it is okay; if not recommended, to provide for myself and make myself feel special.

If I feel good about myself, I will be a better mother, a better person, and that will provide for my children too!

So I got those boots, and they are YUMMY!

Today I am being a better me by treating myself once in a while.

I said yesterday that I was going to go to Oklahoma and pick up my Jeep. Well, yesterday morning I loaded up the kids, trailer, and Hubby in the truck and headed the 3 1/2 hours to get there.

When I got there I found that my Jeep didn't have windows, trim, interior, or a final sand and polish. The time, money, and aggravation wasted left me speechless!

 Another 3 1/2 hours in the truck with my 3 boys pent up and bored was just the icing on the disappointment cake!!

I was satisfied being upset and cranky, then I realized that I needed to search for contentment and thankfulness!

 So I silently spent a few minutes finding ways to be thankful. I was able to be thankful that my family was healthy and could make the trip. We had the money to afford the trip, and a good truck that got us there and back safely. Thankful for the ability to have a spare car to turn into a dream car. And a wonderful family to share the day with!! When you take a few minutes thinking about things to be thankful for it is hard to be upset about the things that go wrong.

Today I want to be a better person by being thankful for all the things that are going right!
Thanks for visiting!! Feel free to leave a comment I am thankful for them!

31 Days to a Better Me Day 10

I have always been a creative person.  But is seems that as I got older and my family grew I had less and less time to flex my creative muscles.  Eventually like other muscles when you don't use it you lose it.  I did.  There were years where I didn't create anything at all, I was just too busy with babies, laundry, cooking, and attempting to sneak a nap in.  This year is different.  I have one child at home all day and he is 3 and pretty much plays by himself most of the time.  Gone are the days of my children needing constant attention.  This summer I discovered the magic of blogs, and I got my inspiration back!!  The ladies that I read have helped me to rediscover the creative buried deep, DEEP inside!!  Sunny got her groove back!

So as I move through the process of trying to become a better me, I find it a very important part of that process is to create things on a regular basis.  Today I want to show you how I turned something ugly into something pretty!  The more I engage in these activities the more of a sense of fulfillment I receive.  So on to the ... tutorial!?!

The other day I was at the Habitat for Humanity Restore and my sweet hubs said "hey did you see that wooden box over there.."

I had not seen it.  But with a $2 price tag and its amazing charm I knew instantly that it was coming home with me.  The hubs helped me to the car with it and asked that infamous question "what are you going to do with it?  I, of course had no idea.  Though I knew I could figure something out.  So it sat on the hearth of my fireplace as I waited for inspiration to strike.  Then it hit me I have a big window in my laundry room with a very wide sill.  I also had little succulents here and there around my house.  I decided that I would combine all of these ingredients to make a lively indoor window box to brighten up my laundry room!

I didn't want water to ruin my box so I lined it with aluminum foil and then with plastic wrap.  Then I gathered all the random succulents laying around the house.

I plopped all of plants into the box, rearranged them until I was happy.  Voila. 

You would be amazed at how much life this box adds to my laundry room!  I love to see it everytime I walk in there.  With three boys and a husband I am in there a lot.  The cost was a $2 old wooden box, and succulents that I already had= big change!!  Yay!

This was the story of me turning something ugly into something pretty.  But maybe more importantly, regaining a little bit of myself.

Thank You for visiting me!!  Feel free to leave a comment in the BOX!  It inspires me!!

31 Days to a Better Me Day 9

On Friday I took a field trip with my oldest son.  It was fun, and I got a chance to reconnect with him in a way that I could not have done with everyone else around.  I could have taken my youngest son with us, and it certainly would have been a lot easier to not have to find a babysitter.  However it would not have been so special for either one of us.  Usually I just take everyone to avoid having to ask for help, but I want to try harder to carve out time to spend with each one of the boys. 

I forget just how wonderful it was when my mother or father asked to alone to go with them.  They would always do something special that we never did when it was all of us.  Like get ice cream, get a candy bar, etc.  I felt special when my parent took time out to spend with me and I want my kids to feel that same kind of special.  So I am going to try and be a better me by spending more quality time with each one of my boys individually!!  I think that it would make both of us better people. 

This is my first born baby looking at some barn animals.

Here he is learning how to shoot a bow and arrow.  We had so much mommy/son fun time, I will remember it forever.

If this is your first time here, Thanks for coming!!  Please feel free to leave me a comment, my sons like it when I get comments!! ;)  Have a great evening!

31 Days to a Better Me Day 8

When I outlined my 31 day topics I wrote that today was "Find something that I love".  When I wrote it down I thought that I would talk about some that I had bought while thrifting, garage saleing, or shopping.  Today I was on my way to the Goodwill to see if I could find just the thing.  As I was driving down the street I passed a chunk of wood laying on the side of the road.  At first I thought "wow that piece of wood has a nice diameter" I actually kept driving.  Then I thought "I need to stop and get that piece of wood" I put on the brakes, and threw it in reverse.  My son hopped out of the car and grabbed it for me.  I had no idea how cool it would be.  The bark is beautiful, and there are these little hash marks on it that my boys swear are from a wild animal.

Here are the hash marks.

I have no idea what caused this but I kinda dig it.  The first thing out of my sons mouth after picking it up was "what are you going to do with it".  Honestly I don't know.  I just know that I love this piece of wood.  Is that bizarre? 
The point of all of this is that you never know what it is that you are going to love.  Just be open to loving it.  I could have bought something, and I probably would have loved it as much as this wood, but I was open to loving the wood on the side of the road. 

By the way this is probably what I will do with the wonder wood.

                                                                      source
Only probably with pillar candles.  Now I am on the hunt for more wood to love!

I am writing this post a little early, I have a field trip with my oldest tomorrow and won't have a chance later. 

I want to talk about Goals.  I have about a million things that I would like to do.  It seems like everyday I think of new things that I want to achieve.  I am kind of one of those girls that think climbing a mountain just to say that I did is cool.  Don't get me wrong I am far from an outdoors girl, I just like to see what I can accomplish. 

Aside from that I have a zillion things that I want to accomplish around the house.  This year I want to set down with my hubby and make a reasonable list of what is do-able.  I think that it is important to make goals, without them I don't accomplish anything.

Aside from house stuff, and aside from mountain stuff I want to commit to a goal that I have had for a long time.  I want to run a marathon.  I have always wanted to.  This weekend in my neck of the woods is a marathon called the Prairie Fire; and though I will not be running the marathon then, I do want to run it next year.  The Prairie Fire benefits the Leukemia and Lyphoma Society.  My best friends husband is fighting Hodgkins Lymphoma right now so it would have extra personal significance to me.

I have a history with running, a sorted love/hate history.  So here I go making a goal to start running again and begin training for a marathon in one year.  You heard it here folks.  Now I gotta do it, right!?!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, I hope that you come again!  Feel free to leave me a comment (telling me I have lost my mind!).
