I know – I know already??
I have been thinking about new years resolutions. I do it every year and remarkably, I keep my word to myself. With the exception of a couple times I do good.
Let me know 🙂

If I make a resolution not to do something, then I am predisposed to doing it, and the other way around. I supposed Murphy’s Law has a controlling interest in there somewhere.

*we seem to take advantage of our family and we don’t really say ‘i love you’ as much as we should.* this year it will be to cook more than i have been.. i love cooking, but with the cold weather and moving, i’ve been getting lazy and we’ve been eating fast food a lot. lol

I too ususally start off small. This year it is very important for me to learn to live on a budget and not say, oh I get paid next week; I can afford this, not really knowing how much that next check is. I have never been rich by any means, but have always let my family live beyond our means.

I agree with mcnerd – Murphys Law nails me every time.

My resolution is to get all of my credit cards paid off -no matter what I will have to go without. Also I would love to have more patience with some of my daycare children.

I’ve already started on a resolution. And I don’t usually make one.
Lynn, as you have said –getting those pesky bills out of the way will be included, along with those credit cards as bcoffey68359, said too.This desk of mine will be mine. I’ve already found the perfect calendar to log everything I do bill wise. And it has pockets in it and large blocked squares to log all events in my daily life–it was hard to find, but I was bond to find this ..Next year at this time I should be able to make my own calendar.

My Resolutions are always goal based. What area do I need to work on and accomplish this year? Last year I worked on getting myself to stay on a honest to goodness budget.
I had a couple rough month’s but I did it at last! (My husband bailed me out for 3 month’s in a row before I got it!) This year our goal is to grow everything we can for the coming year. My whole family is excited and ready for the new year and getting it done with me!

Oh bless you bcoffey, I worked in a daycare and had 11 two-year-olds. It was so hard because they were all on such different levels.
I don’t do resolutions either but I am trying hard to learn how to say “NO!” to people. Sometimes I overwhelm myself with obligations.

menu plan (this saves me money, time and calories – cause i plan healthier meals), i am starting on jan already lol
meds – i have been pretty good with this one, the pain meds have made this year the best in over 15 years .. I can actually move around
breakfast – i am not good at this one, but since i am making my husbands (to go for work) i think i will make extra for myself .. if i eat breakfast maybe i can get my metabolism back up instead of in sloth mode .. (i only eat one meal a day)
continue cleaning – down to one kid and he’s going to be 20 in Jan. I have been getting rid of stuff, continue with this.
Need to get some more drill buddies to keep on trackRia

I don’t set traditional New Years resolutions, however I do try and set short and long term goals. I also reflect on how the past year has been, to see where in my life I still need improvement. Here’s some examples:
This year I want to learn how to can food, and expand further on my cooking skills.
I am still trying to learn how to keep house. I am not all there yet, but there has been a marked improvement on the house. This is one to just continue as is.
Now that I’m developing cooking skills, I want to eat healthier.
This is the type of thing that I do. It is not as restrictive as resolutions usually are and it works for me.
**Next Christmas I will NOT stretch myself as thin as I’ve done this year. I can’t handle it**

My Resolution is to continue living for another year. That gets to be important the older you get.

hehehe, that one is pretty important regardless of your age. We recently had the opportunity to spend time with family we haven’t seen in AGES – we were chatting about this very same thing. My sis in law had a triple bipass at age 37. Luckily she’s okay, but You just never know when your time is up. Live every day like it could be your last and don’t wait for “retirement” to enjoy your life or do the things you want to do/see. That’s our motto.
