11 Things

Ok, so this is a fun idea that a blogger friend of mine had. She actually got the idea from a site called Reverb10.com, that gives you daily prompts to write about. This was one of them.

11 Things I don't need in 2011:

1. To have the TV on as much as it is. Sometimes I think I am the world's laziest, horrible mom. But sometimes, when I need my sanity, and have deadlines for work...it just happens. I turn on a movie. That will happen MUCH less in 2011. That is a promise.

2. Late nights. I have no idea why it is SO hard for me to go to bed at a decent hour. Most nights it's 11:30-12:30 before I hit the sack.

3. Caffeine. At least not as much of it as I seem to need now. But maybe my late nights have something to do with that...perhaps if I can fix one thing, I might fix the other...we shall see.

4. The Last 10 Pounds. They just will NOT go away! The first 17 were easy!! But the last 10 are holding on for dear life. No matter what I do. I really just wish they would disappear forever!!

5. To go to Wal-Mart. I swear. That store, I am so bad at remembering everything I need in one trip, and always..always forget to bring a list. I can never just go to the store once every two weeks. It's more like 4 or 5 times. It can wait. Most of the time. Lame.

6. To get dressed everyday. What's wrong with having a PJ day? Absolutely nothing. I always feel lazy, or that I will run into someone I know while I look like I just crawled out of bed....and the kids included. But who cares. Some days are just perfect for PJ's.

7. To Have a house. We got all ready to take the big step this month, and got hit with the "self employment red tape." So it can wait. We have no other choice. I figure, we've waited 5 years already, what's one more? And by then we'll be better off anyway.

8. Stress. Really, who DOES need stress. Not me.

9. To have a clean house 24/7. It's just pretty much impossible with 2 kids, and it won't kill me to wait till they go to bed to clean up. It won't....:)

10. To always have some fantastic meal ready for dinner. Isn't that what cereal and Ramen noodles are for!?

11. To Compare. (and this one I am taking almost straight from Sheena's blog because I liked it so much) Why is it so hard not to? And society just feeds us and feeds us with more things to compare ourselves/our kids/our husbands/our houses/our shoes too. I need to stop the comparing, and start owning what makes me, me.

Please feel free to post here your thoughts on your 11 things, my 11 things, or do this on your own blog! It's fun to think about all of the things you could do without.
