DO-er

Part of what made me realize how much I missed my "old self" is a conversation with my sister. We were talking about projects and things we wanted done and I mentioned that I wanted my kitchen cabinets painted and new hardware installed. The old me would have jumped in feet first and started sanding, painting and "getting after it" but the new me thinks it would be easier to talk about it, think about hiring someone, begging and pleading Jay to do it --- pretty much anything but doing it myself. I miss that person, but NO, I am not dismantling my kitchen...yet. I am however making a conscious decision to become more of a DO-er. Someone who doesn't talk about getting stuff done, they get it done.

Earlier this summer I had made a "Mom's To-Do" list of things that done daily would provide benefits all around (not a single one had to do with my job). I had done it for a while but as all things go, I fell out of the habit. SO, the list is being brought back out and I am going to make a better effort at becoming a DO-er.

Here is a copy of the list for your review and so that you can check up on me .... so that I don't fall out of the habit again.

P.S. I love lists, aren't they fun? This one comes with a Total so that you can tally up your daily points and see how you are doing? Yes, maybe I am a little crazy.
