“NEW YOU” Resolution – Status report

How is your resolution coming?  Did you make a plan of action, are you following it?

My NEW YOU resolution for 2009 – I will commit myself to a life style with BALANCE!  2009 has started in the fast lane here at the Rzepkowski house and I was starting to get a bit stressed. How on earth can I fit in a bit of “Tricia time” and a date with my hubby and still be Super Mom, Chief Domestic Engineer, Child Cheaufer, and Top Trainer.  I had planned on a bit of failure, but was hoping it would not be an issue until at least March. I decided to get back on track… time to evaluate where I could make a better choice!

1. Reduce the Chaos – OK, this is under control – I have taken out the extras.
2.  “This or That” – OK, I haven’t added anything new
3. Delegate – OK, I am getting better here
4. Let go of the perfectionism, do good enough. OK, Plenty of meals made and in the freezer for the upcoming week, house is pretty clean, sheets are washed, laundry is not piled up.
5. Live for today, with tomorrow in mind. – Humm?
6. Stay organized – OK, I feel like I am pretty under control and organized.
7. Play, take a break and have FUN! – Humm?

It seems I am having a little trouble with #5 and #7.  It occurred to me last night that I have a free Friday morning, from 8:30am – 11:30am while Anna is off at AM Kindergarten, Mason will also be at school and Kris at work.  It is time to have a bit of “Tricia time.” What to do?

I went for a facial.
I had received an email from A. Cameron Salon & Spa a while back introducing their new Esthetician, Erin Welch. This email came with a great offer  – 50% off all facials, body treatments, and esthetic enhancements until January 31st, 2009.  I called at 9am and was lucky to be having my facial at 9:45am.  Erin did a great job – THANK YOU!  If you are interested in a facial try to take advantage of the 50% off or if January is too busy and you have never been to A. Cameron Salon & Spa mention my name and receive $21 off your first service.

I am doing what I can to make my resolution a reality!  Are you?
