Although waking up this morning to the wet feeling of a night that had on and off rain wasn’t fun. Gracie REALLY wanted to go back to bed once I let her out this morning. She was very cute laying there curled up on a pillow next to me. She must have gotten her days mixed up and thought today was Saturday and we get to sleep in. Since that is one of her favorite things to do I am sure it was shock when I jetted out of bed late for work!

Well onto my real thoughts of the day although if you know me you know I am obsessed with my dog! So my plan for this weekend is to be productive. My house will be cleaned! I don’t mean the half cleaned thing that I have been doing of cleaning some rooms and not others or the oh no one comes here but me so why bother to clean things that I have been doing lately. I know that I feel better when my environment is clean. As with all things in life when I just let it go it can so easily get out of control and that is not acceptable. So clean house with no excuses. As I have been picking things up throughout this week and my grocery shopping is done I have no excuses to not get it done!

Secondly I am going to start working on my budget. Since I am not a permanent employee I will have a better idea of what I am going to be making take home every two weeks. So the first step is writing down all the bills and figuring out how much I really have in bills each month!

I will let you know how it goes with completing all this! Wish me luck!

A new you

Each day when we get up all of the self help shows Oprah, Dr Phil, or many of the religions of the world say that we are supposed to get to start each day of our life anew. New opportunities and wonderful new things to enjoy. I wish that I could say that I was one of those people that has believed that. But lets be honest if there is an option I am going to take the depressed people pleasing way. It started at a young age and if I am being honest with myself then I would have to say that I have never really done anything to change the pattern. So I guess I could read all of the self help books and go into therapy or I could try a blog. Yes I may read some of the self help books and I am not anti-therapy but all those self help shows that I have watched say that a journal is a good thing. Also Oprah told me today that she has kept a journal most of her life so why not try it at least for a little while.

So the goal this week is to try and focus on being happy with where people are at. What I mean by that is that we are all affected by the people in our lives. It may be the person we sit next to at work, our friends or our family but I am focusing on not letting their needs or feelings overtake my personal needs or feelings.

I promise my next comments won't be this heavy. Perhaps some cute Gracie pictures!
