Resolutions!

 

I don’t normally make or keep resolutions.  I can’t say that I’ve really made any this year either.  That being said, there are a number of things I’d like to change or do.  I’ll take the time to list them today.

Budget monthly.

Work diligently at getting back to my pre-pregnancy body.  Or as close to it as I’m able.  I have about 40-45 lbs. to lose.  Along with that, I want to gain strength and lose inches.  I want to be strong and active for my children again.

Get more sleep.  I want to be up before my children, even if it is just a few minutes.  In order to do that, I need to go to bed before midnight, if not earlier.  Our whole family seems to have our sleep schedules shifted right now.  We are going to bed later and a number of the children are not getting up until 10AM.

Build relationships.  In my family.  In my church.  In my community.  I want to know people a little better.  I love that we’ve lived here for almost 4 years now and that we are becoming a part of our community more and more.  I want more than surface relationships.  That is not to say that I want everyone to be my best friend, or that I want to share my deep dark secrets with all around me.  I just want to care and it is easier to care, when there is a relationship there.

 

So did I just write a list of resolutions?  What are resolutions anyway?

Hmm.  I guess I did.
