So what's the mission...

I've been thinking about doing this for awhile and figured now is as good a time as any (having been inspired by a few friends :).  The past few months I have found myself thinking a lot about my life and reflecting on all the things that are great, good, ok and not really where I want them to be.  I find myself reading a lot of other people's logs thinking "I wonder if I should put some of these thoughts in writing."  So, here I am doing just that!

The mission is simple: be the best me I can be.  I know, I know, CLICHE!  The thing is over the past almost 3 (yikes!) years since A was born, I seem to have lost a bit of me.  I've tried to be the best mom I can, the best teacher, (after a promotion) the best department chair, the best daughter, the best friend and then what's left over I save for me...which isn't much.  After some reflection I have realized that if I spend a little time up front being the best me I can I will be much better at all those other things.

So here goes, I will post my "missions" as often as I can with hope of feedback, support, laughter and maybe even a little bit of ridicule...the more honesty the better!  

You're mission, if you chose to accept it, is to join me on my mission!  Welcome to the wild ride!!

Mission: accomplished!  In Progress!!
