Egg Peeling

Ok, I totally remember why I never make hard boiled eggs, or anything that involves hard boiled eggs. I really suck at peeling the dang things. And I made a dozen and a half of them today for breakfast and for egg salad. But hey! I made egg salad, which I think I did a pretty decent job of doing. Just, I really despise the peeling of the shell part. It really is a good thing I wasn't planning on trying my hand at deviled egg's 'cause well...they would be horribly broken due to my egg peeling ways.

So this summer, I've decided to start working on a whole new me, a more improved and better me. It won't all be perfect, just like the eggs I peeled today, but it'll still be good, just like the egg salad. I just need to chip away at the old shell, and start thinking better of myself.

I'm the type of person who constantly blames herself for everything, even if I had no part in it. I'm a bad mother, a bad student, a bad "insert word here". I've never really had any self-esteem or any confidence, but it's time to change that. And this time I mean to change it. No more half-assed attempts, no more giving up. I'm going to follow through on it this time.

How do I intend to do that?

-Working out. Zumba, Just Dance, abs, walking, biking, hiking, etc. Exercise I think is a great way to start. Getting into shape and feeling like you can do anything is a great way to get my self-esteem going. I just hope I don't kill myself accidentally with as accident prone that I am.

-Eating better. And actually eating. I really suck at the whole remembering to eat on a consistent basis thing.

-Going outside more. Though, gotta try to figure out how to NOT get a nice lovely coating of red. Being fair-skinned sucks. And sunscreens seem to turn me into a neon sign to the sun and doesn't help me at all.

-Getting organized and house cleaned. I've been slowly working on this one. Found a great site to help me keep track of the household bills. And going to be getting rid of seven things a day for about 30 days, which will help me get rid of some of my clutter.

-Get my driver's license. Hey, if I can drive, I can take the kids out places and have lots of fun, and not feel like a bum being stuck at home all the time.

So hopefully, by summer's end, I've made a significant progress in removing the old shell, and becoming a better me, a better mom, and better "insert word here". Then I just need to make sure I stick with everything through the school year.
