I could have done better

A few days ago, I just got really disappointed in myself because I know I could have done better.

I've been trying to work on being more positive and finding the good in things but sometimes it is a real struggle.  I want to get into a mind set that I practice what I preach to my little beings which is: 1) be positive and find the good in the situation and; 2) don't take ever thing so serious.  The other thing that I know I need to work on is giving a better effort when I'm assigned a task... like my job.

Burnout Syndrome

I just read an article about a woman who took a "meternity" because she was jealous of her pregnant friends taking a maternity leave.  One glance at the title and I thought, "oh geez, this is bound to stir some controversy."  It did and will continue to do so however, I understand what the woman in the article was feeling; not totally because I have kids and had maternity leave twice but I get what she is saying.

Work on it Wednesday: Am I too old for this??

No.

The answer is no.

Starting over and doing something new is okay.  I try to limit the reckless things that I do but I feel like starting over is not reckless if it is done right.

But what is "right"??

Days off are never days off

This afternoon I will be taking the afternoon off from work but I'm definitely not going home to relax... though I wish I could!  I am starting by getting my teeth cleaned.  I love going to the dentist.  That sounds absolutely crazy because there are so many people who HATE the dentist but I love it.

My dentist is wonderful!  It's the kind of office that you go to and they know your name first and foremost.  They also remember things that you talked about the last time that you were in such as going to a good friend's wedding or getting a new puppy.  Probably the most important thing to me is that they are quick and on time!  When I told them I was having a baby they gave me the cutest little care package of baby toothbrushes and a bib.  They are really a thoughtful group.

My wonderful dentist office

After I leave the wonderful dentist who's going to make my teeth all shiny and smooth, I'll be heading off to get a rim replaced on my truck.  I was always taught that it was a better deal to buy a used car so I always have, well, used cars come with a whole host of problems some times (not that new ones don't but you never know what you're going to get).  I live in Michigan and the roads can be a bit harsh on wheels and tires so one of my wheels is leaking and I needed to get a new one.  The dealership and I have been working on getting one from GM for nearly a month now... it's ridiculous.  It has finally come in and it will be put on later today.  

Two things done!

After that it will be time to pick my that sweet face pictured above and off to do more errands that I've been procrastinating about for far too long!
