Get Motivated

1/2/12 ~

First day back to school after a 2 week vacation is always challenging! Poor R did not want to get up, but we got to moving and he was ON TIME!!! I am determined to not have any more tardies. Yes, I am guilty of making my poor prince tardy in the mornings. I have been put in time out already by his teacher!!!

Today was THE day to finally get my license renewed. It has only been expired for 23 days!!!! Got ready just to find out that today is the observance of New Year's Day and all the government offices are closed... BLAH! Pulled the sweats off the closet floor and put them back on! Today just became a play day for the princess and I!!!! I'll take that over sitting in line any day!

This morning the princess and I were watching Pound Puppies and one of the puppies said the greatest thing... "You are, who you think you are" This hit me like a TON of bricks. Who am I? Who do I think I am?? What a great way to start the new year off! I was already contemplating resolutions and what I REALLY want to accomplish this year.

Motivation..... where did you go??? Oh how I miss thee!!! With my million projects and endless sleepless nights over the holidays, my motivation seems to have disappeared. Hmm, how do you get it back? GOOGLE IT! Yep, that's right, I Googled "How to Get Motivated" I don't want to buy a self help book or get caught into some seminar, I just want to know what others do to motivate themselves. The very first site that came up was...... Get Off Your Butt: 16 Ways to Get Motivated When You’re in a Slump. HA, it's perfect!!! Read It, Bookmarked It, Printed It, and picking my most important goal! Goal posters will be next!

What do you do to keep motivated or re-motivate yourself?? Where does your focus come from?? I find it interesting what motivates people.

Maybe some of the electric personality my princess has will rub off on me and I can kick it into gear FAST.


Every night before bed R reads for 20 minutes. Tonight he picks "Walter The Farting Dog" This story can not be read without the sound effects of the Atomic Fart App on the iPhone. Every time he reads the word Fart, you have to play a different farting sound! Talk about trying to read through all the laughter. A book that should take 10 minutes to read, takes 20 min!! But it is an extra 10 minutes of laughs that would have been missed!!!! I love the craziness of my life!!!!

Make sure you never miss out on those little opportunities that bring you laughter. Even if it does involve the sounds of farts!!!
