You know how New Year's seems to make you want to start over with better habits. Well, I am absolutely overwhelmed with resolutions to do things better and different. In a lot of ways, I suppose that is good. But then, I also know myself well enough to know that I probably won't stick to about half the resolutions I start, so that is depressing in and of itself. Maybe by putting them out there for everyone to read, I will feel some sense of responsibility to stick to them, who knows...
1. I want to continue to improve my "homemaking" skills by developing some kind of cleaning/cooking plan. I have the e-mealz plan (the food's not so great, but if nothing else it has taught me HOW to make a meal plan for the week and a grocery list to accompany it), and I have fly-lady to help with the cleaning.
2. I want to take better care of myself. I want to floss and remember to take my vitamin every day. I want to start exercising, even if it is just a few times per week of walking. I NEVER exercise and I am starting to feel a lot older than I should feel. I want to drink lots of water and get off of the diet rite.
3. I want to try not to WORRY about the little things that really don't matter. For example, Lily pitched a fit for a bobby the other morning. I had not bought any new ones lately, hoping she would be giving it up soon (yeah, right). Well, I decided not to fight that battle. I went to Babies R'Us and I bought 7 new bobbys so that instead of fighting with her because we can't find her bobby, I can save my sanity and just get another one out of the cabinet.
4. Home time is family time and Heather time, not work time. I refuse, especially on the weekends, to bring work home. I am going to use my weekday evenings to clean my house, cook supper, take kids to practices, etc. I want my weekends to be for relaxing. I got all of my scrapbook pages put into books this weekend and I am only about 6 months behind now and I would absolutely LOVE to get caught up and stay that way.
Well, it's not much, right? Surely out of all that, I can manage to stick to a few of these. I know, I have big plans, big hopes, big dreams... but what's life without those things?
