Resolutions??? I prefer GOALS!

On another board that I frequent they were asking people what their "resolutions" were for this year. Seeing as though this is a time of reflection on the past year there are many things that I think we did well. Transitioning has always been difficult for me and getting the girls into first grade at a new school proved to be less difficult than I thought. I also feel that the transition from four to five could have been much worse. For the most part I feel that we are on track with our girls as far as teaching them the value's behind the rules and always encouraging them to do their best and complimenting them on the things that they are doing well.

I am actually going to sit down with Sean and write out our goals for each of our children for this year! I think it is an important thing to do for us because our lives get so hectic that some things can just slip by(i.e learning to tie shoes). So as a family we are going to try some new things this year.

Here are a few of my goals(resolutions) for this year!

-I will make goal weight by April 25th(Kendell's first birthday!).
-I would like to keep some rainy day money in savings at all times.
-We will go on a family vacation.
-I am going to try to work on my self-esteem.
-I would like to write and STICK to a budget.
-I am going to be a better helpmate to my husband.
-I would like to take more photos and videotape of my kiddos.

Ok...that's it for now! I am sure I will come up with more!

Please post yours! I am interested in hearing about where your focus lies at the moment.
