Resolutions??

I am not big on making New Year's Resolutions. That's not true. I do make them....every year. I just don't usually follow through on them for very long. Probably because they usually involve eating less and working out more, and who seriously does those things? Not me!

So, this year I did a lot of thinking about what I really want for this next year. I want to be a great mom.
I want to be a great wife.
I want to be more productive at home.
I want to have a LOT OF FUN!!

Thus my resolutions:
1. Be the best that I can be*.
2. Have something prepared for dinner every night and sit down as a family together to eat.
3. Do one thing fun, JUST FOR ME, every month**.

*Note that this is open ended, because sometimes I probably can't be as great as other times.
**I will hopefully be having fun all the time, but I will set aside something fun (this probably means without Olivia) at least once. For example: In Januaury I am going to a gymnastics meet with Bridgit, without Olivia! FUN!!

Your resolutions are great, although, being more productive at home definitely takes away from the having fun resolution, so I challenge you to drop #2 in order to more fully focus on #3. He, he.

Oh Sarah--you are such motivation! :)

In fact, change resolution #2 and make it, "Eat more chocolate and drink more coffee." Then you'll be geared up when it's time to have fun!
