Tuesday's 10.

I've been in a blog posting rut lately.  This is my attempt to "bring it back."

1. I've been considering a new name and a new look for my blog.  Fear is stopping me.  Who reads this blog anyway? Is what I'm saying important? I'd like to bring it back to "family friendly" and not "emotionally charged." I know there a bazillion budget-based, family value oriented, crunchy/attachment parenting type blogs out there.  Is what I have to say any different? We'll see.

2. I'm avoiding photo-editing and posting.  I keep hearing "mom with a camera" in my head. I may not have a BFA in Photography, but I'm not doing this for money.  The comment lacked tact.  Enough said.

3. I'm addicted to pinning things on Pinterest but I'm lacking the drive to actually do something I've pinned. I am hoping to change that today.  I will make a "Picky Palate" menu plan today!

4. After avoiding my PCM for over a year, I finally went back on Monday.  I've got some answers.  And I need to keep moving forward with it.

5. I relish naps.  Not just for me, but my toddler as well. It's a break.  And sometimes I just need one.

6. I have an eight-year-old who is precocious, vivacious and tenacious.  She is smart, funny and caring.  But, she has test anxiety which brings her "overall" grade down. I just want her to see what I see, not the grade.  The grade doesn't make her who she is.

7. I have mixed emotions about the upcoming PCS.  I don't want to leave my friends behind, but, I am excited about the new adventure that awaits.

8. DH and I have not had a honeymoon.  Not even a mini-vacation together.  I'm trying to change that. I'd like to visit Kauai or Maui before we leave in five months.

9. The Hunger Games was the first movie that I wanted to see on opening day.  I didn't get too.  I will change that with Catching Fire.

10. Finding ten things to say is not as easy as it sounds/look.
