Happy New Year a little late

Yeah, I know, it's kind of late, but for the first time I am making New Year's Resolutions. It's not that I haven't thought of things that need changing every year, it is just hard to write them all out and not feel like a person in need of counseling. Maybe accepting constructive criticism (even from myself) is something to add to this to the list for 2010.

Anyway, here's my list for this year.....

1. Vow to take better care of my skin. There has to be time in a day to properly cleanse and moisturize every night. (Maybe my teeth brushing will have to lax).

2. Take less and print less photos. Let someone else snap and record an event and I will just get to enjoy it and not feel guilty for not scrapbooking it.

3. Do yoga for an entire year. 9:00am at the Peet Center on Fridays if anyone needs to help motivate me, (or help me up off the floor.)

4. Drink more water.

5. Yell at my kids less.

6. Don't buy anything that is not necessary. (I have some loose criteria on that one).

7. Try to be greener. I'm gonna tote those trendy canvas bags, turn off more lights and make everyone turn the water off sooner while tooth brushing.

An update on my nephew: The horrible looking (but life-saving) vent. tube has been removed from his precious little mouth and he is breathing on his own now. My brother said the nurses are increasing the amount of food he is getting by 1 cc a day.
We are all anxious to see this little angel come home, safe and sound.
Happy New Year.

These are all great goals for the year. Good work, lady!

And I am so happy to hear that your nephew is improving. Poor little guy. Keep us posted.

Your nephew looks like a real fighter - I'm glad he's doing better. Nice goals - although laxing on the tooth brushing...hmmmm..... (although my brushing issues probably aren't yours - I'm guessing you're more of a "Pete" type brusher, so it probably won't matter!

Probably all of us should follow your goals too. I was just thinking yesterday that while mothers generally take very good care of their children, their husbands, and their pets, we are sometimes lax in taking care of ourselves physically.
