As those of you who know me or have been reading my blog,  I am by default, a happy, content person.  I enjoy being at home, watching my baby play or listening to my kids talk to each other.  Happiness to me is sitting down to dinner as a family and tucking everyone safely in at night.

The down side of being a content person is you don't tend to be driven.  There isn't a lot that compels me to go out and strive to tackle new challenges.  I have no chip on my shoulder or nagging need to achieve new heights.  I'm not an adrenaline junky.  I like who I am (except for my weight).  This tendency makes it difficult to go out and be all I can be.

That doesn't mean there aren't things I want to do.  It doesn't mean I don't have plenty to do every day.  It just means I'm not out doing anything impressive...ever.  Although, the amount of laundry I do each week might impress some

One thing I do feel compelled to do is orgainze get togethers with friends and family.  I also feel the need to have a little get away with my husband so am planning an extended weekend trip to NY.  I went to a Pampered Chef party and had a scrapbooking party with friends this last weekend.  Pretty typical housewife goings on.

I'm hoping once the kids are bigger I will have more time to think deeper thoughts, read more, and maybe do something inspired or inspiring.  For now I have all I can do to do the shopping, cleaning, bill paying, helping with homework, making meals and spending time with my husband, kids, friends and family.  Life seems like it is on fast forward right now.  I'm not complaining, I just don't feel compelled to spend any of my precious time any way other than how I currently spend it.
