I have a bad habit of getting to a place in my life that is good — not great — but good and just sticking there because it’s easier than pushing forward to the next level. I become complacent. Then I become unhappy because I realize I’ve become complacent and that my life can be so much better than it is.
I rarely get kid free weekends, but when I do I am so exhausted that I frequently do absolutely nothing (well, aside from cleaning the house and grocery shopping). As a result, I am becoming increasingly despondent about the state of my life. I have not been on a date since splitting with my ex 3-years ago. How sad is that? I need to push myself to get out there and live my life rather than letting life pass me by.
I adore the time I have with my children, but I’d also like to enjoy the time that I have without them.
In my last post, I mentioned making an effort to make more time for me. So I am doing that. I have signed up to take 3 different courses through my town’s adult education program. This is sorta a huge step for me. I lined up a babysitter and I’m all set to go.
I do still need to find a way to fill up my kid free weekends, but I’m working on that too.
I’ll write about the courses I’m taking soon… They start next week!
Good luck with your classes!!
