It's my blog, and I can write what I want to....write what I want to....well, I usually make this about the triplets, but sometimes it's about me too, right?!?!?
1. Improve my relationship with God and learn to lean on Him more.
2. Learn everything I can about my sewing/embroidery machine, take classes, and practice, practice, practice.
3. Catch up on my scrapbooking for the triplets. I let weeks go by sometimes before I dive into them, and I need to be more consistent.
4. To maintain this blog.
5. I want to be a better friend to people. The problem is, I have a hard time trusting people. My trust factor was shattered a few years ago, and I just don't have a lot of faith in people. I put this wall up between myself and others, and it's hard to move sometimes.
6. To lose weight....the story of my life since having the triplets. I am disciplined for a few weeks, lose a few pounds, and fall right back off the wagon. The truth is, I don't like looking at myself in photos, I hate the way my clothes fit, and I just want my belly gone! I have to learn to lay off fast food and beer though. Moderation is the key.
7. Forgiveness....in order to release toxic people from my life, I must forgive them. They have a hold on me until I forgive, and I'm trying. I really am trying. Once again, improving my relationship with God will help with this.
8. To be the best Mother I can be....when you struggle with infertility as I did for many years, you don't take Motherhood for granted, but it doesn't make it any easier. It is, by far, the hardest job I've ever had, and some days, I feel like I suck at it. It involves a lot of decision making, and I haven't always made the best decisions in life. I want my children to have manners, respect for others, a giving heart, and experience that makes them understand and appreciate things and people in life. I have to be a role model for them. It's not to be taken lightly, for sure!

Leslie, you are my hero...not only do you constantly amaze me on a daily basis, but you are the best wife a guy could ask for!
ReplyDeleteEqually important is how great you are being a mother to our kids. I'm always impressed how you can balance our triplets, my work schedule, family/friend drama, and all the other stressors life has to offer.
You'll do just fine with your resolutions. I love the blog and adore your scrapbooks. I'm not quite sure how the kids will pry them from your fingers years from now! Don't lose a pound, you are beautiful just the way you are! I'm glad we found a church that fits us and I'm looking forward to continuing to share that with you.
Love you forever!!
