Being Me…

And I can feel it.  I’m in the midst of a move, health issues with my daughter, development issues with my son, financial struggles, the search for work, the search for health insurance…and I’ve had this on a back burner.  (Go figure…how many FRONT burners does one person have?)

But I can feel it.  I feel better when I write, journal, whatever - whether it is actually written or typed.  I feel better if I take some time during the day to write out what I need to remember, what is worrying me, what I need to do or take care of, plan things out, or simply vent.  I really need to do this right now - surely 5-10-15 minutes a day is doable.

This week, I need to make arrangements for getting my son’s hearing checked.  I also need to call about getting professional pictures taken.  I need to actually take some more pictures myself and email them to family.

I need to clean the house and vacuum.  I’d like to cook several meals in the crockpot, so that I don’t have to worry about actually cooking dinner at dinnertime!  Doing some laundry might also be a good thing.  I ought to check on the jobs that I interviewed for; I do have contact information for both companies after all.

I need to get back into working on crafts and reading.  I’ve been rather tired lately and I’ve just done the bare necessities - that doesn’t include much fun stuff.  I need to get back into creative things; I always feel odd when I’m not crafting.  It would also help with stress relief.

I need to continue to journal and blog - both things seem to be helping me, though in different ways.

1. Learn Java
2. Lose 25 pounds
3. Get a job or get my associate’s degree.
4. Improve my Spanish
5. Journal regularly throughout 2008
6. Teach my son to speak
7. Cook more, cook healthier
8. Learn a new word a week for 1 year and actually use them

That’s it for now - well, actually, I have a much longer list of goals, but many of them encompass a longer period of time.
