My goodness, it's been a month since my last post, surely I should be well on my way to freedom? Nope, I'm just sitting in the backseat and watching it pass. Is this really what I want to focus on right now? Nah, lets go with some fun stuff!
Josh started Kindergarten last week. His first week was less than stellar. Time outs every single day. I was starting to wonder if I was raising a future delinquent, and then yesterday came. Not only did my son NOT get sent to timeout he actually got a star on his chart. Not only did he get a star, he got a Golden Ticket. What's that you ask? It's something that students are given when they are caught doing something good. My child...doing something good in school...I knew it :) He has since come home with another star! I told him if he got all 5 days we would go out for ice cream. Bribery seems to be working wonders. WONDERS I tell you! I prefer to see it as encouragement and incentive.
So, now to me. I guess I've taken a few steps in the right direction. I am facilitating Financial Peace University so the finances will hopefully be falling into place again soon. I signed up for Weight Watchers again but I have yet to track anything. Slowly, I'm pacing myself. I do, however, have a sink with no dishes in it. I can honestly say I'm not drowning in housework and that alone is satisfying. Step by step I guess. Gosh those steps sure are tiring.
Ah that dreaded CPA exam. It's on hold for the moment. I figure I'm setting myself up for failure if I attempt this while also working 50+ hours a week. That schedule won't last forever so I'll jump back on THAT wagon after I'm done pulling my hair out and crying like a baby. This schedule can be brutal!
I hope to make progress but only time will tell. Atleast I feel like I"m facing the right direction now!
