I resolve to...

It's that time of year again...time for New Year's Resolutions. I'm taking a cue from my sister in law, and only doing three good ones.

1. GET MORE ORGANIZED! Life would be easier, if I could organize myself. I've never been good at this. I was the schoolgirl who bought a different color folder for each subject, with the intent to keep things beautifully organized throughout the year. Two weeks into the school year, and I was jamming every single paper I received into my backpack, and zipping it shut to hide the mess from view. This is my home in a nutshell, and my "backpack" nowadays is my Master bedroom closet It's a catch-all, and I DESPISE going in there. Thus I resolve to get more organized...especially that darn closet.

2. TO CONNECT ONE-ON-ONE WITH EACH OF MY CHILDREN. I'm mostly a "hands-off" parent. I let things take their course, and help out where I need to. I'd really like to be more involved in my children's lives, but involved as they need me. Weather it be more cuddle time, more listening time, or more play time. I'd like to be "there" for them more. This is probably a no-brainer for any other mother alive, but it's definitely something I think I need to work on.

3. TO BE MORE HEALTHY. I know this is a go-to for everyone in the new year. There are things that I struggle with that I really need to get through to be more healthy this year. I am going to work hard on overcoming some bad habits for a more healthy me in 2010.

There are, of course, hundreds of other things I need to work on to improve myself this year. I'll start with these and see how I do.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
