Good Behavior Defined

1. being organized, ie. keeping groceries in the house with healthy menus planned, having house always perfectly clean and tidy, laundry done, roof not leaking, loose ends not loose(no hour of computer solitaire, etc.)
2. using time for most benefit - waking early in the morning for an hour of yoga daily, getting to work on time, working in studio all of the time on a schedule, not sleeping in and looking out window for hours on saturday
3. not indulging my neurosis, overthinking, worrying about future, fretting, feeling hopeless. (is this a choice? what do you think? sometimes i think it is)
4. not finishing the bottle of wine, not needing to go out and be hungover the next day (this happens 1-2 times a week, usually not hungover, but overindulging does occur)
5. not being self-obsessed, focusing on others

just because you want to be a parent (maybe- God willing) you shouldn't have to be perfect, right?
honestly, a & i don't do too bad of a job. we manage to cook our meals and our house is always pretty clean and ok. i could exercise more. i could eat better. i dunno. the problem comes with energy and ambition. the question of what one wants.

this blog is turning too confessional. maybe i am not parent material. too much conflict internally.

I do not think you would have problems with the kids. I think you would be a good mom.

Plus you have a butler to help you.
