Yesterday was a great day. Tommy and I finished our Christmas shopping. Ate a great catfish dinner and just enjoyed being together. We only had one "near miss" while shopping. He picked out a gray beret for one of the girls. None of us wear berets. I put it back--he was totally perplexed why I did that and picked it up again. Same scenario happens again. We finally agreed on something else. 10 to 1 odds, I get a gray beret for Christmas!!!!
We had company later on last night, and THEN I remembered the "Discipline B.S." I have been attempting to do. I wrote a short blog note and in the process, I not only lost my profile picture, the gadget called "About Me" suddenly appeared under the title of this blog AND I lost my blog that I had just written!!!! And then "About Me" was also deleted...What a friggin mess!! So I called Tami and laid the ole "Honey, I was in labor with you for 26 hours---can you please fix my blog--again" And sweetheart that she is, she came to my rescue and fixed it all for me. I couldn't do without her!!
The only thing I couldn't retrieve was the blog. By that time, I no longer wanted to talk or write to anyone. Soooo undisciplined person that I am---I went to bed---and slept wonderfully !! I have decided that I am a work in progress. I still want to be more disciplined in most areas of my life BUT I want alot of leeway too!
P.S. Tami told me that old "I gave birth to you routine" is only gonna work so long----if I can get another 20 years out of it I will be a happy camper. Maybe by then, I will have learned how to use a computer!!
HAHAHA!!!! Keep in mind, Mama...progress, not perfection! :) Writing is fun; don't make it a chore. PS: I'm putting password protection on all of your stuff. You'll finally have to CALL ME for permission...how's that for sweet justice! Bahahaha!
ReplyDeleteNo, Tami is wrong! You can do the Mom-Guilt thing as long as you're kickin'. You and Tami did a great job setting up this blog. I've only read this one post but I love it already. If you need help with anything (simple)and Tami won't be moved by guilt, just email me.
ReplyDeleteTami is right. Writing should never be a chore...unless maybe you are being paid to do it! I usually posted on my blog when the mood struck and it became a lovely hobby.
