Random

I know I have been on a random, themeless track with this blog, but I figure I am not a theme kind of person.  This is who I am, blame it on meds 8), blame it on my crazy upbringing, or chalk it up to personality it doesn't matter.  I am who I am,  now of course I am aware that my randomness can be problematic for some, and so I try to really focus being better for really important things, or being an example for my daughter.  Which that last sentence is causing me to switch gears mid-blog...

My daughter has definitely caused me to be a better person.  In my quest to be a good example for her, I have improved on a lot in the last decade or so.

• I cross the street at crosswalks, even when she is not around
• I eat cooked carrots, even though it makes me want to gag
• I have a bowl of fruit and a drawer of veggies to snack on, and they don't go bad near as often
• I say thank you and please a lot
• I don't yell as much, and I am not as demanding even if I do want it RIGHT NOW
• I am firm but not abusive to people might possibly deserve it... you know who you are
• I don't curse nearly as much as I used to, though I still drop the F bomb on occasion  "What the FRENCH.... TOAST!  (well maybe I should thank orbit gum for that one) 

I'd like to think there are more, but for now this is all you get!  I don't want to seem like I am bragging,  which in its self should get listed too.  But we all no parenting is hard, mostly because you have to be an example.  If you toss out all these rules, you can't be a hypocrite, I know that was my big argument growing up.
