Resolutions, schmesolutions

When choosing a resolution (or resolutions) for this year, I have a big, long list to consider:

• Become (and stay) more organized - house, mind, life, etc. This is a big one.
• Eat less, exercise more.
• Eat healthier and serve my family healthier foods - more produce and organics, less convenience.
• Spend less, save more.
• Learn to sew and to do great photography. Actually use these skills.
• Plan dinners and eat at home every night (or almost every night).
• Manage time better.
• Waste less money and food. Use more coupons and take advantage of double coupons, sales with coupons, etc.
• Teach my children more.
• Read my Bible more.
• Keep a cleaner house.
• Watch less TV.
• Finish all my unfinished projects.
• Catch up (and keep up) my children's baby books and scrapbooks.
• Spend more "me" time.
• Spend more time with Alan, Carter and Charlie, individually.
• In general, be a cooler person.
• Etc, etc...

I think you get the picture. I could use improvements or complete overhauls in just about every aspect of my life and lately I find it harder and harder to keep everything together. My duct tape is losing its sticky! I have thought about this list, and finally come to a conclusion about my resolutions. I am not going to make any! While I will attempt to strive for some or most of these things, I don't want to let myself down by creating unrealistic expectations. I have a pretty full plate, and most days I am doing well to survive. For now, I will keep on keeping on and hopefully some of these things will improve along the way. I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and prosperous new year and that you keep your resolutions (if you make any)!
