Bad Wolf...

I am good enough, smart enough and gosh darn it, people like me...

Nothing very exciting to say about this outfit... I was going to wear a skirt today, since the weather was beautiful, but forgot to shave my legs.  So, I decided a bright pair of pants would be perfect.  On the way out the door, I tossed on this big necklace to balance out the trousers and t-shirt I was styling!

Last week, a fellow mother called me a "go getter"...what ever that means...and at first, I was insulted, then I just blew it off.  Then today, my very cool blog/instagram friend Ellie (check out her blog, she rocks), noted that I inspire her.  I am always on the go, doing what needs to be done...  I was truly honored for anyone to be inspired by me...I just see myself as a walking "hot mess", especially since as she texted me, I was being told my car was not driveable, the needed part would not be in until Monday and I had to get a rental car unless I wanted to sleep at the car place until then...  At first, I just tried to find reasons she was wrong and I was just a lazy, unsophisticated, mess of a person...why is it so hard for me to believe that I might just be good at something...maybe even a few things... Every once and a while I start to think I might just have my shit together, and I plan to keep reminding myself of that...thanks Ellie!!

As for the "go getter" maybe she meant that as a compliment...I am a mom of two, part time photographer, walking the 2-day, going back to school...wow, guess I am a "go getter"...in a good way!

Speaking of the Avon 2-Day walk for Breast Cancer...I am getting closer to my fundraising goal of $1,800, but I could still use some help...any little bit goes along way.  


Today's inspiration...

Maybe that mom meant it as a compliment. I define someone that is a go-getter as someone who is motivated and gets things done. Being a mom we have to multi-task and take care of business! Inspirational is a nice term too :)

I really like your bright pink pants! So fun! Heather

I think go-getter is a compliment too. I keep thinking one of these days I'll get my shit together but I might have to wait until we're out of the baby phase.

I definitely think go-getter is a good thing! It means you're going for what you want in life. You're not just sitting around waiting for life to happen. And I think you're definitely looking good doing it!
