But he loves casseroles, so I might have to change the name to Get Your Hands Off That Casserole. :)Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-24880828799174233922010-12-27T20:08:01.220-06:002010-12-27T20:08:01.220-06:00That selfish thing is hard for me to get over.

I spend a lot more time I could be making great progress doing nothing but sitting with the hubs watching tv because I feel guilty about putting the laptop between us so much. But that time just sitting(while relaxing) I can't stop the running list of all the things I could be/need to be getting done. Learning that it's okay to be selfish sometimes is hard but necessary to get it done!<br /><br />I LOVED your countdown!

You've been successful in my eyes!<br /><br />Michael, taking time to do "me" things and keeping my identity as who I am and want to be is very important! <br /><br />Joanna, unfortunately when my family won't eat my meal the first time around it's hard to dish it out for two more nights!!!<br /><br />Theresa, Guilt less, write more. My new motto for 2011!<br /><br />erica, I'm rested after celebrating with family for one week straight...so I'm ready for a girl's night!

And my kids can luckily live on cereal if need be.<br /><br />That won't stop me from making Selfish Casserole when I want to prove a point (no way my family will eat it, but I will!)!!<br /><br />Thank goodness you're done with your Xmas festivities, christy.

We should guilt less and write more.<br /><br />Happy New Year!Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-32827699989146882702010-12-27T13:00:59.232-06:002010-12-27T13:00:59.232-06:00Merry Christmas girlies.

Of course, children need care, but the spouse should be more understanding and allow you time to hone your craft.<br /><br />I'm lucky in that respect. I can write as often as I like without any repercussions. I do have my responsibilities and take them seriously, but they still leave me time for my writing. Not having children does give me a huge advantage I know, but you need to nourish your creative side. A happier you is a happier family.<br /><br />All the best in the new year ladies.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-56509166338878855122010-12-27T11:02:33.716-06:002010-12-27T11:02:33.716-06:00Great choice for #1.

However, there are times I do feel selfish for taking so much time on it. Especially when another year passes and I'm not published yet! Thanks for the great recipe. I'm definitely trying that!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-24885123959572539882010-12-27T10:45:26.644-06:002010-12-27T10:45:26.644-06:00Yummy recipe, thanks for sharing.
