Thursday Thirteen: My New Year’s Resolutions

1. Lose weight – I know we all say the same thing every year, but I did good last year. I lost 20 lbs. and would like to lose 30 more this year. Of course, if I could lose 40 or 50 I would just run around naked all the time. How scary would that be?
2. Exercise more – This does not include chasing around my little boy, but an actual exercise routine.
3. Eat healthier – No daily chocolate, more salads, and no eating after 7pm. I guess I can give it a whirl.
4. Better time management – Of course whatever I plan will be out the window when I the children are in need of something.
5. Go out on a date with my husband at least once a month – Time to remember why we got married and what it was like before kids.
6. Take a trip without children – Again, time to remember why we got married and what it was like before kids.
7. Get basement organized – It seems to be a never-ending battle. It is an office, scrapbook room, play room, TV watching room and anything else room. This should be fun.
8. Paint bathroom and kitchen - I may get Chris to do this. It still counts no matter how it gets done.
9. Read my bible everyday – I am going to start getting up 30 minutes earlier to take time for God. Hopefully this will help me make it through the day without a breakdown.
10. Get caught up in my scrapbooking – Not too much to do: Sydney’s baby book to finish, 2 yr. old pre-school to finish, 3 yr. pre-school to start, Pre-K to start, Grayson’s baby book to start, camping album to catch up and family album to catch up. I really need to work on that time management.
11. Start an herb garden – Everyone on Food Network has fresh herb, so I why can’t I?
12. Stop procrastinating – Maybe I will do this next year…. Ok, this year…later this year.
13. Be more thoughtful – Send cards, make phone calls, make dinner for friends, just be a more giving and thoughtful human being.
