My glass of mommy is pretty empty. I’d say it’s at about a 10. I’m new to this whole mom thing, but I’m wagering that I need to be at about 100 to be a happy, well rounded, good for Scout and Alex, mommy again.
Being a goal oriented kind of girl I am creating a list of things and their point values to get me back to 100. I’m not listing the negative points because that’s just too frustrating, and I might find that my 10 should actually be -100. 🙂 If anyone would like to donate to my cause, please feel free.

I find that a key part for me in surviving the day is to limit expectations. I can have all the stuff on my to-do list I can think of, but only 3 things with stars. If I can get to all 3 (or 2 of 3), it’s a successful day.
