New Year's Resolutions

I was reading a friend's blog about her new years resolutions. And seriously, I've had such a bad attitude about self improvement for most of this very tired child-rearing year, that my first response (after an initial surge of hatred that she was organized enough to actually write them down) was YUCK! I am so not making resolutions! And yet, after I read hers, I felt a little bit inspired. Of course, her resolutions are like way more cool than I have energy for, but I think I can come up with a few... so here they are:)

1. I will cook a healthy dinner for my family at least 3 (I was going to put 4, but let's be real here) nights a week even when Jared is out of town.

2. Take Taekwondo with the kids and finish the year with a green belt. (that's two belts up... hopefully I can do that!)

3. Keep my buisness up, which I love!

4. Go out on a date (a real one with a babysitter and lipstick) at least once a month (I was going to put week, but let's be reasonable, chances are he'll be gone 2 weekends a month) with my husband. I kind of like him.

5. Get a good picture of each of my children at least once a month.

6. Help Pearl sew 2 american girl doll outfits. (and if I don't make it, I'll have to buy four. That's the deal... Pearl probably prefers that I fail on this one... but it would be better for her and for me if we sewed together)

And, I think that's quite enough! Good luck to me, and good luck to you!!!!
