New Years Resolutions

I’ve finally decided on my New Year’s resolutions. I decided these a week ago so they really were in time for the New Year. I really honestly never make New Year resolutions because I never stick to them. But the first five below are ‘real’ and the last two are my ‘fun’ ones.


1. Loose weight. Who doesn’t make this resolution? I’m on my way to failing this one right now. As I am scarfing down this little chocolate Santa thing. I do fully intend to not eat out so much, bring my own lunch to work and try to eat healthier things. We’ll see how this goes. I figure the only way I am going to loose weight is by a miracle or I starve myself.

2. Save more. Money that is… First one I said above… eat out less. But I don’t cook, the hubster does and he’s not good at broadening his horizons and trying something new, so we eat the same shit week after week. Gets mighty boring. I’ve also decided to keep track of how much we spend on groceries and such. I’m not a crazy couponer but I’m going to try to adapt some of their habits. I’ve downloaded a spread sheet where I put in my grocery bill, tax and what I saved in coupons and in store and it tally’s it all. I am going to try to use more coupons, but I’m not going to stack up on 40 bottles of Windex when I don’t need it. Even if I can get it for a buck each. I don’t need that many bottles. I don’t want to turn into a hoarder, My house is cluttered enough with two five year olds.

3. ORGANIZE. I read an article on how to organize and simplify your house. It had a six week chart. We are going to do it but probably not do it hard core until spring. To many things going on right now to try to do it. I vow to throw more crap away.

4. Be a better Mom. So far I am failing this one also. This entails me not forgetting to do their homework, and getting off my damn lap top more. I’m on that thing all the time it needs a break and my kids need me.

5. Find a new, happier, more fulfilling job. In this economy I don’t see that happening. I’m tired of the high school drama at work. I’m tired of getting in trouble because I had to take a crap. I have IBS, acid reflux, and anxiety issues. Off of which mess with me stomach. Sometimes it takes me more than 30 seconds to poop. Why must my co-workers tattle on me? Oh and the back stabbing that goes on too… seriously? We are adults… she is so sweet and nice to your face then talks shit about you when you are not around. I’m done with it. And that’s only the start.

6. My first fun one would be to bring the dead back to life, if even for a day. I’d love to bring my Granny back just for a day so she can see my boys. I’m sure she’s the reason I had twins to begin with.

7. My second fun one is me wanting to learn to pee standing up, like my husband. I’m tired of having to get half naked to pee. Why can’t I just go in a whip it out and pee, tuck and go? It would make my life easier and save me lots of time.
