Day 1
So, today is Day 1 in my quest to be a better person. By better, I don't mean saintly by any standard - just someone that I am happy to look into the mirror and see. I feel I could do better as a mother, as a friend and be better to myself. So, today started well. I had all the best intentions (as you do) but as it was raining heavily outside I was foiled at the first hurdle of taking the two boys to the park. I'm not back at work until next Monday, so I decided to do a huge spring clean of the house. Out with the old and in with the new as they say. So today I scrubbed and polished and hoovered until the house was at an inch of its life. Got all of the photos of the boys down that need to be framed and hung on the wall (I decided the ones of me could really stay where they were for now). I made a huge fry up for breakfast and did homemade pizzas (both slimming world style) for lunch. (2lb loss since Monday - yay!) I've sent an email to our local woman's refuge for domestic violence survivors to see if they could make any use of the boys unwanted toys and clothes that they've grown out of. I've told my boys that I love them and that they are amazing little people (which I definitely think all kids need to hear every day). It's a good start and I'm proud of myself for it. Tomorrow's jobs: Go to the shops. While there, find someone and give them a compliment and let someone in front of me at the checkout line. Make their day. Investigate Kura bunk bed idea from IKEA. Drink coffee. Not necessarily in that order.
