FAILED
I didn't do my to do list. This is a list of bullshit that includes things such as give my dog a bath and pay pay the electric bill. I'll say this is stuff I should have done and didn't. I failed.
Promise 30 - do promise 29 and then make up for promise 30

Comment regarding S's Comment
Sorry, it just won't allow me to comment for some reason...I must be doing something wrong...So in response to your comment, here's what i was trying to write....
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I half felt the same way you do when I was typing my response. But then on the other hand, life's a balance...And if I can spend 3 hours a week on homework and get a B in the class, should I do that instead of 8 hours a week and get an A and be way more stressed and busy? Also, I'm getting very discouraged with school, now that I realized it will take me at least 4 MORE years to just get my Associates...So should I risk stressing myself out so much that I quit? I dunno...Am I just being a really big baby who's looking for a reason to quit b/c the going got tough??? (By the way, hubby gave me a lecture on this the other night too.)

Dreams
If you could have anything in the world, what would it be? Money, love, children... It's an interesting question, don'tcha think? A pretty easy one to. People seem to completely understand what they want more of, things they miss or long for, what would make them feel good. So why ask that question, what about instead asking, 'what are you realistic willing and not willing to do, to have said thing'. I've never really thought about this before.
I wouldn't say I am NOT a hard worker, but I wouldn't say I am a driven person who looks to work hard and accomplish things either. Is that weird, to never really set out to accomplish something? It's not that I have never accomplished anything, I have, just not with the direct purpose of accomplishing it. It's almost been simply by default. Imagine if your parents never set out to teach you to walk, talk or be a functioning person but they never directly prohibited you from watching or participating in all of society. You would learn the basics but it seem unlikely you would trip and fall on being tremendously sociable.
So if I use the same logic I did with the sociable example above, I'd say it's pretty unlikely I'm going to trip and fall on some tremendous accomplishment in life. That's kind of sad. To make the realization that I may not ever really accomplish anything big. I guess I should change this.
It's kinda funny, this post was suppose to be about my dream of writing a children's book. When I started writing, I felt my self doubt kick in and say "How are you gonna do that? If you don't know how your going to do it, why post about it? What are you going to do next, write about how you want a million bucks and smaller thighs?" Well my answer to myself is this- I'm going to post it because I think I CAN put a plan in place to write a damn good children's book, even if it's only for my kids so I'll start there.
Well I'll be damn! Did I just stumble upon the fact that goal setting and planning might have a purpose... kinda like my promises... holy shit I did.
You heard it hear first folks - COMING SOON TO SWO, a children's book by **S**
AND as far as the million bucks and smaller thighs goes snide Miss S, you do have a meeting with a 401K guy on Friday and you go to the gym 4 times a week so shut up. Those could be post in the future if you really want to spend time focusing on them so don't let random self mind bashing ruin this.
Promise update - I'm not sure if it will be interesting to anyone else, but today's post was certainly interesting to me, so I'd say I succeeded with that.
Promise 28- get some brainstorming about this book out of my head and in writing somewhere -start "operation children's book" hahah

M's Promise #17
I finished half my homework and then no more stressing. I also decided I'm okay (for this class during this time of my life) that I'm okay with only doing half. It's probably all excuses as to why I feel like I can't/shouldn't/shouldn't have to, etc do all of it. But I've realized that and am ok with it.
Promise #17 - We have a LOT of decisions to make with my son's sports camps, summer camp, summer vacation, etc. Although I need others' input, my promise is to at least get the ball rolling with those decisions.
Talk to you tomorrow!

Home Sweet Home!
Happy to finally be home. Too bad stupid me thought it would be a good idea to turn the heat off... I mean it was 55 when we left. Well it was 28 when we got home!! 42 is super cold too, which is the temp of this house now!
Off to warm up! I miss you SC and Steph and Addie and Sissy and Even and Dave.... and all my friends who live where it's NOT insanely cold!
Promise 27 - write something interesting tomorrow. Sorry for the boring post lately.

M's Promise #16
I've made it through a few chapters of my book and so far so good. It's actually very interesting.
My next promise, Promise #16 - Get in a couple hours of homework between now and tomorrow and from there, don't stress. I'd have to spend every minute from now until class tomorrow if I really wanted to finish it all and that's not gonna happen, so I won't stress when it's not all done.
Part 2 of this Promise - I also have to evaluate if my attitude on not completing all of my homework is appropriate. I really feel like it is, but I need to determine if that's just my excuse to not spend the full amount of time that's required.
