Change

  Change can be a good thing.  I am making small changes in my life that are making a huge difference.  Some of them are as simple as getting up 15 minutes earlier so I can get in the office earlier to take care of minor things before everyone gets there.  It is our busy season at the office, so at 8:00, we are hitting the ground running and I want to be ready.  I am also starting to eat lunch at home more.  I love going out to eat, but I tallied up what we spent on eating out the past few weeks and I did not like the total.  Luckily, I only live 5 minutes from the office so this is an easy thing to accomplish.  I am also going to start meal planning again.  I got out of the habit, and there are times when I get home and I do not feel like cooking, so we will get pizza or something equally as bad.  I think that is okay every once in awhile, but I do so much better when I meal plan.  Hubby and I have a fabulous arrangement.  I cook during the week and he cooks on the weekend. This works out great since he has soccer stuff 3 days a week and I make quick easy meals, where he likes to do stuff that is a little more elaborate. I am also making some minor changes that I will not elaborate on right now, but it is doing wonders for my mental health.  I am a fixer.  I do not like when things are out of sync and I want to fix them when they are.  I have finally realized, with the help of hubby, that there are some things I will never be able to fix and that I just need to learn to deal with it.  Simple, huh?  Difficult to carry out? Yes, but I am managing.

  Speaking of change, hubby and I went to the boys' open house at Catholic High last night.  As a parent, I think this is so important to attend. It really is the only time you will get to meet your child's teacher and get an overview of what to expect for the upcoming year.  Remember I blogged earlier about being a guide for your child?  Last night gave hubby and I some great tools on how to guide our boys this year.  Selfishly, it is also a great time to catch up with friends I have not seen in forever and it is a bit of a mini reunion.  I still love the shock of people I went to high school with who learn I am married to my hubby.  We are such the cliche'.  Mount graduate marrying a Catholic High graduate. I still laugh about it.

   Are you making some changes in your life?  If so, remember, it is the small stuff that can make the biggest difference.

Hugs!!!
