goals for 2006
With our new baby coming so close to Christmas, I've forgotten to take a little time to think about this new year and what I would like to do with it. Even though I know I will fail at this optimistic little list, I hope the process of writing it down will help me to have a long term vision instead of being so absorbed in my day-to-day routine. Here goes...
1. I'm going to try to establish some form of regular exercise, even if it's just a walk once or twice a week. Something, however small, has to be better than nothing.
2. I will try to buy more generic stuff and less of the pretty name-brand stuff, which is a huge weakness of mine.
3. I'm going to make my bed and keep the dishes done each day, which should help the house to look cleaner even if I don't have time to deep clean.
4. I'm going to try to make myself look nice in the morning before I get the kids dressed. The result may be a sunnier disposition for all: the kids get to stay in jammies longer and I get to feel like a normal person sooner.
5. I am going to write and deliver all thank you notes. If I were Superman this would be my kryptonite. I'm afraid I have offended quite a few people by forgetting these much needed cards. I know. I hate even thinking about it, but it's the truth.
6. I'm going to pray for my kids and my husband daily.
7. I'm going to work to verbally affirm my husband, kids, family, and friends as much as I can without being hokey.
8. I'm going to learn how to make a cool blog, so my blog doesn't look so plain and uninteresting.
9. I'm going to play with the kids more.
10. I'm going to work on my garden every day, weather permitting.

Hey Karen! I love seeing your kiddies and hearing your personal thoughts! We miss you all so much and I'm excited to keep up with you this way. Hey, if you want any simple help to make your blog prettier I'd be glad to help with your #8 resolution. A little photoshop and an email to Rob at coptix and wah-lah! Again, glad I found you, hehehe!
