Back

I haven't written in months and I continually tell myself I am going to and then I get distracted. This past year flew by so quickly that I can't even remember half of it. I used to pride myself on my awesome memory but now people remind me of funny stories I have told and I have no memory of them. Early onset Alzheimer's maybe. Consequently, I can't remember half of the things I wanted to put in here so now you get some ramblings about how uninspired I am.

As I wrote last year, I am not the biggest fan of New Year's resolutions, but I made some anyway this year. And like the expert on the news said (yes, they had a resolution expert interviewed...seriously America?), don't give up if you break them once, try again. Soooo, here we go.

#1. More reading, less watching. My goal this year is to read through the Bible (or at least follow the study on my own pace). I'm not doing the standard start in Genesis and go, it is a very sporadic study so that you don't get confused or bogged down in Leviticus and Numbers and give up. I also want to read 2 books a month. I figured, the hubs bought me a Fire for a reason, right? So, while I am doing all this reading my 2nd part to number 1 will come easily...less watching TV. I find myself often just mindlessly watching crap...and that's gotta stop. There is nothing wrong with downtime but I don't need to veg out constantly in front of the tube. Come to think of it, that was one of my improvements from last year. I'll just say I'm following the experts advice and picking up where I left off...wherever that may have been.

#2. It's ok if my house isn't spotless. Well, at least I am going to tell myself that until I hopefully believe it. I put so much time and energy trying to keep this house clean that I often miss out on relaxing time with my men...and lots of cuddles. And let's face it, the Bubs is turning 2 (yes, 2, already) and Fred will be 8 shortly after. I can't believe that I have two kids, let alone a big kid and a toddler. So, less time being "busy" and more time with my men.

#3. PSSSSH, there is no number 3, I'm already having trouble with 1 & 2 (especially 2!).
