Every year I say that I am going to be starting all these little projects and I never seem to complete them will this year I know I am going to stick to them no matter what life tries to throw at me. I plan on doing One Little Word you can check it out here at the amazing Ali Edwards blog Here. Also I plan on doing a form of either P52 or P366 (leap year). I plan on blogging more and scraping more as my layout I completed last year is quite sad to say hardly any. I also plan/hoping to find some employment.
My One Little Word is Perseverance as I stated in the post below and I apologize now if i seem to be repeating anything.
What is Perseverance?
- Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
- Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
This seems perfect for what I am dealing with lately in my life. First and in no particular order.
My communication with my sons father. I have been doing great for the most part trying to keep my calm when I need to talk to him about our sons school or anything that concerns our son but it is quite hard trying to keep my cool when he rambles on how he blames me for his everything that he this is wrong with his life. To name a few he loves to blame me for causing him to get divorced and having to move back home with his parents, for the back child support, for him not able to hold down a job longer than a month. I need to just let him ramble on like I have been doing the last few months and not let him get to me.
I want to be able to have more patience with my family I know that there is no such things as a perfect family we all have our faults. I want to have more patience and no be so stressed about the little things. I also want to work on my weight, I say every new years that I plan on losing the weight and I never do so my goal is to by this time next year I hope to be down 65 pounds. I will be watching my calorie intake each day and exercise 45 minutes five times a week and hopefully by the time summer ends I will be the weight I want to be.
I also want to document more daily life with my son and myself. I want to capture the little things as well as the big things. Also to take better photos with my basic point and shoot camera. I want my son later on in life to look back and see all the stuff from his childhood. I hope to do this through layouts and Project 52.
Lastly, I need to find employment I haven't worked since 2004 sure I have volunteered with the state department and at my sons school but I know its going to be a challenge as my son is going to be having weekly speech classes and multiple appointments with doctors regarding a diagnose of ADHD or Autism. So I am hoping by summer or possibly fall.
Thanks for reading this ginormous post.
Here is to a Fantastic 2012
