Reading #5 was reaffirming for me – sometimes we make the choice to let guilt consume us. What would feeling guilt-free be like?!?!

Thanks for the post!

Thank you for all the lovely compliments. I took each one on like the badge of honor they are! I get to be a rockstar AND I kiss ass. LOVE!!!

Rebecca – I’m adding “Stop seeing myself as a bad parent” to my list too.

Thanks everyone, for playing along. It made my morning to read such great lists today.

Gee, someone already beat me to compliments (you’re fantastic and you kick so much ass), so I guess I’ll go with you’re totally awesome and I wish I could have a drink with you every day. Smooch!

Great post. Hope you don’t mind – I twisted your question a bit – it has been a great day and I needed to show what I am looking forward to!
Thanks for a fun meme.

You are wonderful! You kick so much ass, it’s a little bit ridiculous! Oh, and I miss you terribly! You can take them compliments to the bank baby!

1. Stop seeing myself as a bad parent

2. Stop saying yes to things simply because I am a stay at home mom, don’t have a real job and should have more time than everyone else

3. Stop eating mindlessly

4. Stop resenting driving my kids to school. I was reading a parenting book where they pointed out the woefully small amount of time we get to spend with our teenagers each week. I get at least 50 minutes every day!

5. Stop being grumpy on Sundays (don’t ask me why this happens, it just does and I HATE it)

6. Stop checking my emails 25 (30? 35?) times a day

7. Stop forgetting to take my vitamins

8. Stop drinking caffeine after 10 AM

Thanks for asking!

Yes, Danielle’s great, I love her energy. And I really enjoyed Style Statement which I worked through some time last year – got a lot from it.

Totally agree with your point 3 especially. There’s a kind of double-whammy for me – I’m trying to live more simply and I know I don’t NEED as much money as I earned during my corporate career, but still, we have to truly value ourselves and what we do.

And Facebook – I need to get to grips with whether to continue at all. All the advice on social media networking says you must be on Facebook, but truth told, I don’t really like or enjoy it at all (gasp, shock horror!). Much prefer Twitter.

And on Number 8 – you are fantastic, your warmth and wisdom. If I were forced to cut my blog reading down to 7 blogs (one for each day of the week) yours would be on it.

I can really relate to #1, 5, 7 and 8. Great list. I need to think about this. A really good list to start the year. As to #3, yes, I can see how this would be bothersome.
Not surprising you like sparkling things: you’re sparkling as well :-))
Blessings.
