I went back and read all my blog entries from last year. It made me realize how glad I am that I started this blog. I'd forgotten so much of the little stuff. But it was pretty depressing reading my old resolutions are going, since I managed to stick to, well, none of them. So this year's resolutions are much the same:
1. The utterly cliched get into shape resolution. Same as last year. To be fair, I am in much better shape, after all I ran 20 miles a few weeks ago and plan to run 26 next Sunday so that is clearly saying something. However the other part of my goal was to lose 17 lbs and I plateaued after losing about 9. So this year (barring immediate pregnancy) I want to get off those last 9 lbs. Really, I want to do this by May when TTC will begin in earnest.
2. I will actually work while at work. Same as last year. Yep, this one was a spectacular failure. I really will work harder on this. I'm planning a schedule of sorts that sets specific times to write posts, check message boards, accomplish tasks at home, etc. Hopefully it will help. I'm also going to try more ADD meds. The first two I tried made me nuts.
3. I will be neater. Same as last year. Hoping the idea of the schedule will help here too.
4. I will update my blogs more often. This one is a variation on my resolution to send email updates more often. I have a blog for family and friends that I post pictures on etc. So I kind of kept that one. I still need to be better about it. I want to break it into two blogs, a running blog and a William blog. That way people won't be utterly bored with the other entries.
5. Get G- to sleep all night. Similar to last year. Well we have made a lot of progress since last year. Most nights he is only up once and he now sleeps until 6:30 ish. But he's 31 months old, he should be able to go all night sometime soon.
6. Get tax info to the accountants ON-TIME so we can actually file a real return in April instead of October. Related to this I want to get all out household expenses up and running on Quicken.
7. Make Baby Books for G-. I only made it though 4 months.
8. Get our house under construction by July.
9. Get pregnant and stay pregnant.
Hopefully I can do better this year than last. Last year was the first time I had ever made resolutions and I really didn't do too well. I'm determined to keep them this year. So here goes nothing. Oh and I've decided that if I am able to cross anything off this list as complete, I'll add a new one to take it's place.
