- Wear shoes more so your feet don't look like the feet of a homeless person.
- Take your hair out of a ponytail at least once every 24 hours to let your scalp take a rest.
- Stop calling four chocolate chip cookies "lunch".
- Go dancing, or at least dance at home every once in a while.
- Stop feeling guilty for taking clean shirts to the cleaners just to have them pressed. Accept that you do enough and aren't going to take up ironing any time soon.
- Keep moving those home videos to DVDs. You only have 20 more to go to catch up.
- After clipping 80 finger and toenails, give yourself a pedicure... even if you lose a little sleep to stay up and do it.
- Try to act a little more interested when Addison talks for days about video games
- Let Asa help you more often.
- Stop letting frugality take away your birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. Saving money does not prohibit celebration. Defend it.
- When you move, make friends and actually do things with them on occasion... without children.
- Have a small amount of nice clothes that make you look/feel good, instead of owning bags and bags of cheap and/or old clothes that make you feel frumpy.
- Try not to to spiral into an emotional tizzy when you are trying to get ready to leave on a trip. Possibly delegate packing duties... it's a lot for one person!
- Listen to music that was not written by Dan Zanes, Laurie Berkner or the Backyardigans.
- Don't worry about losing your hobbies... Remember that in a few years everyone will be older and you will still have your pysanky supplies, those ostrich eggs to design, pictures to take, and those books to write.
- Get back to that 30 Day Shred, even if you're at your goal!
- Stop being so hard on yourself.
- Get an actual family portrait taken.
- After working your tail off to actually get your house clean, stop actually believing that maybe this time you can just keep it this way.
- Refrain from sleeping in your makeup at least 3 nights a week so your pores can take a breath.
