Well, that was exhausting! I tired myself out doing all that stuff.. and then trying to record it. This is why I can't lose weight . I hate keeping track of things like chores, and recording calories. I know they've got all those neat apps on my phone to help me accomplish those things but I just don't like being on my cell phone more than I have to.
Well.. I've come to a conclusion. I'll never be the mom I want to be unless i can start committing to stuff and following through until the end. I need to vow one project at a time,which is also hard for me.
Here are some of the things I'd like to COMMIT TO.. I should be making promises but I honestly struggle and I do understand I'm Mom now, and I've got to do this.
I believe if I can't commit then I won't be able to home school my kids the way i want.. .. and that is important to me.
Things I hope to commit to soon:
_ Read the Book of Mormon EVERYDAY.. (I should of got that one down a long time ago)
_Teach 100 lessons to Jordan w/o missing an assigned day.
_ Picking everything off the floor EVERY NIGHT.. this one shouldn't be that big of a deal. I mean its safety we are talking about
It's hard for me to make more.. I know it's just unrealistic right now to wake up early every day, start an exercise routine, Never miss Family Home Evening or morning/ evening family prayer and scripture study.. I just can't commit yet. :/ Wish me luck.
Which habits do you have that make you a better mother?!

I know we don't really know each other (I'm Adam's cousin) but I have really enjoyed reading your I am Mom observations because it reminds me so much of myself. Lately I have felt completely overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything and I know there are so many things I need to work on, but trying to start them all at once is too much. I actually decided last night that I am going to start the babysteps for flylady again today and exercise. I homeschool two of my kids right now so I'm also trying to make sure we stay caught up on lessons. I also wanted to let you know that you're not alone. I think most moms are great at some things and not so great at others and we all look at each other thinking that because that mom is so good at something we lack that they have it all together. I think that it is great that you are working on improving as a mom and it has inspired me to do the same.
