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.
