Changes

I feel changes on the horizon. Or maybe, I just want there to be changes! Either way, I am hopeful for things to come.
Our newest little guy, Porter, joined our family one month ago. It has been a struggle to figure out how to handle 3 little boys. Especially when the youngest two are only 14 months apart. But, slowly, I am getting better at juggling the requirement of being a mom of three.
Maybe that is where the hopefulness of change is coming from. My baby blues have finally subsided. I am feeling optimistic again.
I know I can't just sit around and wait for changes to come. (And honestly, in all reality, these changes may not even be anything significant. They may just end up being changes in myself. I may just change my attitude, or my routine, or even my family relationships. Either way, I'm excited.)
I plan to do things to make these things happen. First, I will turn off the tv more. When I end up watching a show I get NOTHING done. These past few days I have turned off the tv for an hour and cleaned, or worked on projects. It has brought my spirits up! Second, I plan to get back on a solid budget. I am so much happier when I am not stressed about money. (Aren't we all though!) I want to get completely out of debt and it starts with a budget. Third, I need to get back on track with a menu. I stay on budget better with a menu. Plus, when 5pm rolls around I don't have to figure out what to cook!

Here's to changes!
