Wish to be Better

I wish I was better at ...
making the bed in the morning
being a morning person
getting to bed on time (I blame the blogs!)
giving my husband my full attention
kissing my husband (like I mean it) each and every day

I wish I was better at ...
replacing the paper rolls when they're empty
hanging up clean clothes
getting stuff done during the day
delegating and asking for/accepting help
using NHV's naptime to its fullest potential


I wish I was better at ...
writing down the ideas I have before falling asleep
reading just for pleasure
passing along magazines after I've read them
returning library books on time


I wish I was better at ...
making sure there's milk in the fridge
having a list ready for the grocery store
avoiding impulse purchases of inexpensive items
unloading the dishwasher in the morning (not during dinnertime)
prepping dinner ahead of time


I wish I was better at ...
keeping in touch with my siblings
calling on some one's birthday; I remember but forget to call
answering my phone when it rings
replying to emails instead of just reading them
deleting emails from my inbox

I wish I was better at ...
spending a few minutes on my hair (ponytail is the norm)
knowing how to apply make-up
getting rid of clothes I no longer wear
buying clothes that will last even if they cost more


I wish I was better at ...
resisting fast food and junk food
understanding finances (ignorance is bliss)
thinking long-term rather than instant gratification
making decisions


I wish I was better at ...
staying motivated and focused
keeping my expectations realistic
having a long-term plan
following my dreams
