Tell me 3 goals you would like to accomplish by the weekend. :)

Or for those that are super moms join this challenge with me. Put some sort of string, band, bracelet on your wrist. Now, you can't complain for 28 days. Not one complaint. If you do, you have to move the bracelet to the other side. I'm going to try it. I'm one of those people that is constantly complaining about some trivial thing. I'm so tired, I don't want to go shopping, I don't want to workout........ Who's game?

Made it through day 1 and didn't have to switch the bracelet! Of course dh and ds were gone most of the day! I'm feeling pretty good though because I spent the day cleaning my 6 yo dd's room! lol!

Just doing it quietly by myself. Trying to help things become a little more peaceful around my home. I tend to play off the moods of others and I'm trying to take back control of my actions and reactions.

Where's the line between complaining and sharing things that are weighing on your mind with a family member or friend? I've got some things that are really upsetting me that I would like to share with someone but don't want to be a complainer?

I think if something is weighing heavily on your mind you should talk to someone about it.

There is a fine line with this complaining thing, like if I say, "I'm so tired." That's not really complaining just making a statement. I say that a lot. :)

Today is our practice day. We'll discuss what is actually complaining and just making a statement. That way we don't spend the whole 28 days saying, "you complained," "that was a complaint."

okay sorry i did not take your challenge but I did not finish my goals either. Some things just happen around here. However I did make a goal for Jackie and I, more of a challenge. We get to go see this play on Thursday if she does not throw a fit at all this week. She is doing okay and I do not complain about her doing her homework in the morning. SO at least I sam not going to complain about something this week. LOL I bought tickets for the play for thursday but now I do not think she is going to be able to go. SO I am out all this money for the tickets or I go by myself and say whatever to her ticket. (childs ticket)
