Well, it's that time of year again... The making (and soon to be breaking) of New Year's Resolutions. With that winning attitude, how could I possibly fail?
Actually, I think last year I made really realistic resolutions that I actually stuck to, like "I will eat cookies" and "I will not try to exercise" or something like that. My list this year is more like a "To Do" list than actual resolutions, but I find that works better for me anyway. Here they are:
I will lose 15 pounds.
I will get all my memory book and photo album projects done.
I will finish my house projects (paint some bedrooms, yardwork, etc).
I will revamp my writing curriculum.
I will actually make time for and schedule "family council" meetings instead of just saying, "We need to have family council and talk about this!" all the time.
OK that's all I want to commit to at this point.
So what's new around here? We got lots of pretty, pretty snow overnight. I can say that because Sean is the one who went out and snow blowed it all this morning.
My number one priority today is to get my Christmas tree taken down and my decorations put away. Why have I not done that yet and it's Jan 5th you ask? Well, partly because I'm a slacker. But mostly because Lexi has been sick. Sean and I have been taking turns staying home with her, and he's definitely better at getting stuff done than I am. I stayed home on Wed and got very little accomplished. Partly because Josh wouldn't take a nap and it took me 2 hours to take Lexi to the doctor and she cried all day and wanted to be held and had blowout diapers, etc. But then Sean stays home on Thursday and manages to do a few loads of laundry, clean the bathrooms, change the sheets, make peanut butter bars.... I love it when he stays home! Hopefully she's getting better, but now he and I are getting it. Fun, fun. Oh well, at least it's nothing too serious.
Courtney is at a debate tournament today, and she's doing a new event, so I'm curious to know how it goes. It was snowy and wet when they left at 6:30 am. Hopefully the weather is OK when they're coming back.
Well, that's about it for now. I'm going to go eat lunch and then try to wrangle Christmas back into the box.

Wow, can Sean come to my house for a couple of days? I want the laundry done and homemade peanut butter bars!
wow.. I am impressed. Sean can make peanut butter bars? WOW!
love your goals..
hope lexi gets better soon!
Yeah, okay, your husband is impressive, but I like you resolutions too. LOL Why can't I ever make and keep resolutions? I'd love to lose 20 lbs, get my act together and maybe paint some rooms in the house. I'll be pulling for you anyways!
Impressive goals, Shannon, and I'm impressed that you even tried putting Christmas away alone. I hate that job. It's so anticlimactic.
I also have a husband that does 10x as much as I do when he's at home. It's a real bugger.
