My Goals/Flash Back Friday

I decided to start off my first actual posting with a goals list, which is something I really need to focus on, and actually do, so here goes....

1. First and foremost, I need to be all that I can for Westin. Everyday it just amazes me how much he really adores and looks up to me. He's growing up so fast, and I want to make sure I do everything right for him.

2. I REALLY have to get myself in to gear with school. I guess I'm just expecting all my work and studying to do itself, but it hit me hard today how much I've already messed up by procrastinating. If I plan on making something of myself, this will have to CHANGE.

3. Right now Dustin is working two jobs, and we're doing fine financially. But it's no fair to him to have to do that to keep our family comfortable. I need to suck it up and let Westin be babysat and just go get a job.

4. I WANT to get myself back in to shape. After Westin was born, I lost all the baby weight, and now I'm slowly starting to gain it back. If I don't take care of it soon, I probably never will.




Technically, for me it's still Friday because I haven't gone to bed yet. So I'm doing my Flash Back Friday post.

...I never pictured myself to be a mom, and I actually didn't think I wanted kids. Westin came as a bit of a surprise, but he was the best surprise of my life. I was so scared the day we brought him home. That first night, I didn't sleep at all because I was so afraid I wouldn't wake up when he cried. I stayed awake for most of that first week actually. Now, almost ten months later, he is absolutely perfect. He's so smart, and so advanced -I'm just amazed by him. :)
