OK! So I've decide to try the whole New Year Resolution thing this year. I've never done it in the past because I'm smart enough to know I won't follow through, but I need to make a lot of changes so I thought the New Year would be a great place to start.
Here goes!
First, Lose Weight! I know what you're thinking, BORING! True, almost everyone has this exact resolution, but don't forget I did just have a baby and I definitely do have extra weight to loose. I also have a motivator. If you ever want to loose weight for the new year just plan a family cruise in late April with a bunch of skinny new mom's. That's enough motivation for anyone.
Second, Better My Gospel Knowledge! This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but just haven't. I'm going to study the scriptures, say my prayers like I should, and I want to read the Ensign start to finish every month. Then there's temple attendance, Family Home Evening, and actually preparing my lesson before the Saturday Night before I teach.
Third, Take Care of Myself! As a mother of four (five if you count the big guy) I've noticed I don't take care of myself anymore. I think that needs to change. I'm not expecting much, just maybe doing my hair one or two days a week (a ponytail does not count), putting lotion on, getting sleep, you know silly things like that. Hopefully it will help me with my Fourth resolution.
Fourth, Be a Better Mom! I wouldn't consider myself a bad mom, but there is definitely room for improvement. Less yelling, less stress, more listening, and more time spent teaching and playing with my kids. They're growing up so fast. I don't want to miss a thing.
Fourth, Keep my House Clean! This one is a dream, but I am going to try to do a better job. When my dad came out in November he asked me how I keep my house clean. I gave him a simple answer, "I don't." The kids are learning to help a little more so hopefully it'll stay cleaner.
