Revolutions for my 40th year of Gratitude and Love

Maybe I should have started this 3 months ago when I turned 40. Maybe I wasn't ready.

There were a few unwritten Revolutions that are coming to fruition.

~Wash the dishes so you have a clean kitchen to wake up to in the morning.  Getting breakfast and lunches ready on a school morning sucks when there is already dishes in the way.

~Cook.  I like to cook but I have been very lazy about it over the past several years. I am actually making a meal plan for the week each Sunday. Making a shopping list and cooking.  Crock pot prep is ready to put in the crock in the morning.  I'll let you know if it's any good.

~Eat out less, make and bring lunch. The lunch thing is hard sometimes, but I really should just make 3 instead of two.  Huh, bimbulb moment.  Make 3 instead of 2.
Duh

~Do my best to stop the laundry hill from becoming the laundry mountain. Ah Laundry - if anyone knows how to make that chore more enjoyable please let me know. Let us all know.


There is this voice in my head that sounds a lot like my Mother, that tells me that I could do more. That my productivity does not need to stop once the kids go to sleep.  I just want to shut down but then the laundry piles up, the dishes, we eat more mac-n-cheese, and I feel like I am not being the Mom or wife I want to be.  Perhaps the desire to be the cook with me, bake together, keep on top of the house hold chores, have really regular sex, craft making, blog writing, fun, supportive, loving, giving and YES I still find time for me - person is someone else's idea of what I should be,  but at least at the moment, it is what I want for myself. Plus I want to go back to school and be a great massage therapist too. I realize that is a tall order, and insanity is a real possibility, but I am gonna spend this 40th year trying.
