Focus Friday #4

Let's not talk about last week. Still have not made my dentist appointment.

Monday will be my first day back to work. I have been home with my little man for 10 weeks. It has been a wonderful 10 weeks and I am not excited about going back to work. I really thought after 10 weeks I would get bored. Well I was kept myself very busy and enjoyed spending time getting to know my little guy.

So my task for this week is to just survive. I will not freak out and make grandpa nervous. I will be strong. I will miss him so much. I tear up every time I think that I will not be with him all day and be able to comfort him.

I will survive!

Focus Friday #3

Let's just say the week went by extremely quickly!(I'm posting this on Sunday. Where has the time gone?)

I still have not made that dentist appointment. Just so you know... its not just a matter of making a phone call. I am looking for a new dentist and I have to call my insurance company and find a dentist, then make the appointment.

I did stay home as much as I could this week though. I avoided unnecessary trips out and about. I tried to keep Harrison home and on a schedule. What do you know, he didn't seem to want to be on a schedule.

So my task for this week is keep track of Harrison's eating and sleeping. I go back to work in a week and I would like to be able to give Grandma and Grandpa a good idea of when he should be eating and sleeping.

I also have a super long to-do list which I would like to tackle.

Focus Friday #2

I sorta failed...

I did not call and make my husband I dentist appointments. Good thing I didn't because his schedule has changed and he wouldn't be able to go anyways. I will make the appointments first thing next week.

But... I did finish my Mommy Mission Statement and I think it turned out pretty good. Click HERE to ready it.

So my task for this next week is to stay home as much as possible(a difficult task) and work on getting my little boy on a schedule. I only have two weeks left before I go back to work and I would really like to tell Grandma and Grandpa exactly what his schedule is... so I make it...not them.

The Finished Mommy Mission Statement

As your Mother…

With your hand in mine and lead you in the right direction. With your fingers wrapped around mine, I will hold you up as you learn to walk.

My arms will warm you when you are cold and pick you up when you are sad. They will comfort you when you have had a bad day and embrace you through all your journeys.

I will listen to your many stories and ease your fears. My ears will hear the truths of your heart and soul.

My words will teach you right from wrong and encourage you as you try new things. They will share stories of the past and be honest and kind even during the tough times.

I will walk with you as you experience all that life has to offer. I will stand beside proudly as you grow and learn.

So as we begin this journey together I will love you with every part of my being and hold your dreams close to my heart.

Focus Friday

My friend Kari at A Giveaway Addicted Mommy has made an attempt last week to participate in Focus Friday. She picked a task she would like to complete during the upcoming week.
I decided to play along in my head. I wasn't very successful...
So this week I decided to post it. I figure having some accountability would help me get my task done. I know I only have two readers but that's okay. Having it written means I have to answer to myself.

My task: Finish last weeks...write my "Mommy Mission Statement" and make my husband and I dentist appointments.

See you next Friday for an update.

My Take On It-Tuesdays

Kari at Giveaway Addicted Mommy has begun a bloggy carnival. She is doing "My Take On It-Tuesday's". So I have decided to play along. Her first topic... Jessica Simpson.
I have always liked Jessica Simpson. I think she is beautiful and entertaining, even though she's a little on the ditsy side. Unfortunately when she agreed to do a reality show she set herself up to be scrutinized, even if it was 4 years ago.
As for the recent comments about her weight game... oh how I wish I was so unlucky to be as "fat" as her. Its funny how one bad fashion choice turned her into a chunky monkey. Kate Moss would look as if she weight 100 lbs (as apposed to 85) in those pants.
So what have we learned from this... Just say "No" to high waist pants and reality shows.
That's MY Take On IT!
