Resolutions

It's that time - well past I guess - during which we are supposed to look back at the last year decide what we did wrong and "resolve" to do something about it in the new year. I don't think I have ever actually made a resolution that did not fall to pieces by March or April. But still, I feel the desparate need to attempt this. If for no other reason than I have something to look back on and berate myself with next year. Yeah...that sounds like a healthy plan.

1. I will not make any weight resolutions. Let's just go for healthier than this last year. Better nutrition, more exercise. That's non descript enough that I may just make it.

2. Less clutter - at least in the bedroom. We have baby number 2 on the way and trying to commit to the whole house would just be a recipe for failure.

3. Finding a reason for happiness on a daily basis. Three reasons would be good -- but we are aiming for definitely attainable here, so I'm not going to push.

4. Less anger. At myself, at David, at Jessica. That still leaves plenty for the world in general, so I
won't bust a blood vessel or anything.

5. More water. Just on general principle.

Hopefully these few little things will aid me in the bigger goal of being a better mommy. It's hard to step back sometimes and really realize that she doesn't necessarily need me to play more games, read more books, interact with her more. What she needs is for me to be healthier and more content so that I want to do those things.

With little girl number 2 coming along, I wonder at times if that will make Bug's world smaller or bigger?
