Time for a Change

Okay, people, it's time for a change. I've been sitting around this house all day piddling with this or that, which has given me time to think about some things. I've come to the realization that I'm just not happy. I'm happy with my life but not my current situation. Who has the ability to change that? No one but myself and that's exactly what I intend to do!

It's time I take charge and tell the world how it's going to be. I'm not just talking about weight loss, either. I'm talking about every aspect of my life. I'm no longer going to settle for what someone thinks I deserve. I'm going to demand what I know I deserve. If people don't like it or say that I come off as being a bitch, oh well. That's how it's got to be.

One of the first things I've decided to do is to read one, non-school book per month. I love reading but never seem to find the time between the kids, the house, working, and school, but I'm determined to get back into reading. I've got a ton of books on my Kindle app that are just begging to be read. The first book I'm going to read is "Smart Women Know When to Say No". Appropriate, isn't it? If you're interested, you can purchase this book at the bottom of the post.

I've also decided that my yelling days are over. If the kids irritate me, I'm going to take a breath, lower my voice, and let 'em have it. It doesn't do anyone any good for me to yell so why do it? Exactly.

Another thing that's definitely going to change are my finances. My credit isn't the best in the world but that's also about to change. I don't believe in credit cards because they can get you into some serious trouble but I'm thinking about getting one, just in case.

Boy, do I have my work cut out for me! I can and will do this because I want more for myself and my family. Things have to change. I know that when I'm happier, the weight will begin to come off more easily than it has in the past. Here's to changing what I can and not worrying about what I can't!
