Best Intentions

I had so much ambition for this month a few days ago.  My goals were to check a few things off my life list while blogging every single day.  I managed to get a week in and then all that ambition has left the building.

Failed Goal 1:  Read to Ian daily.  This has been a complete fail.  I read to him for three nights and then he had a rough couple of nights where reading time was replaced by tantrum time.  Then work stuff drained me of my will to do anything above the most basic, necessary tasks.  So we managed to read 4 days out of 9 so far.  Perhaps we can still manage to read 30 books in 30 days at least.

Failed Goal 2:  Blog everyday for the month of June.  We can thank that will sucking job stuff for this one.  I missed a few days because Monday and Tuesday were rather busy and stressful at my job.  All things I would normally do in the evening (like blogging, laundry, and reading to my kid) were replaced by eating Nutella with a spoon and just wishing the day was over already.  (Don't worry today was a better day and I am starting to catch up on my work and dig out of the hole. Yay!)  So, just blogging more often than usual will have to suffice.

Failed Goal 3:  Lose weight so I don't lose the weight loss challenge with my husband.  All I have to say about that is that Nutella and stress eating do not go well together when weight loss is considered. On the positive side here, the Nutella will be gone after two more stressful days.  If I can manage to not buy any more then perhaps I can still loose a little more weight before the end of the month, and the end of the challenge.

Sometimes the best intentions are not enough to get the job done.  I am ok with that.  At least I am still doing the best I can.

Now it's time for a spoon of Nutella!
