The events of yesterday really knocked the wind out of my sails. My Gumption Initiative fell flat. I had a crummy day. I went home and I wallowed. I skipped dinner and ate two scoops of Rocky Road ice cream instead. Yes, I broke both dieting and parenting rules in one single act of defiance.
I think I need to take one giant step back from my Gumption Initiative and breathe. I said that I wanted to go out there and “do things badly.” I didn’t realize that the universe would take me at my word. I still expected everything to turn out perfect. We’ll it didn’t. Let’s face it, my week was lousy.
I’m not sure what this weekend will bring. But I plan to breathe and get my bearings. Beyond that I don’t think I should plan anything. Once I plan, then I begin to expect, and that’s the beginning of my downfall. I’ve got to get used to the idea that stepping outside my comfort zone should be more impulsive and I need to leave my expectations of perfection behind.

Here's to re-grouping! Sometimes life just flings crap in your face, huh? Time to wipe it off and forge ahead...you're doing good.
It's hard to let go of expectations. I'm so sorry you had a stinky week. Here's hoping you have a fabulous weekend.
I don't think things are supposed to be perfect, it's the fact that you are trying to get out there and stretch your limits is what is most important. I applaud you for your willingness to get out there and do it, wether it goes badly or not. Don't give up, you have had a fabulous week of trying. Then again you don't have to try everyday either.
Ice cream is good!!!!!!
