Resolutions, shmesolutions.
I don't usually make New Years Resolutions. This is because I make resolutions almost everyday. I usually get up in the morning and set some kind of goals. For example, I might say to myself, "Today I'm going to _______." This blank could be filled in with a number of different things-- avoid junk food, go to sleep earlier, remain calm, go for a run, read a book. Unfortunately, I'm a great goal-setter and a not-so-great goal-getter. But thankfully, tomorrow's always another day and a chance to do better.
So being that this is 2009: The Year of the Mom, here are nine major goals that I plan on accomplishing in the next year.
1) Read at least a dozen books.
2) Learn at least four new piano pieces.
3) Run a 5K.
4) Fit (comfortably) back into my pre-baby clothes.
5) Knit a hat for Liam.
6) Take a short (at least 2-night) vacation with Bill.
7) Quit biting my nails.
8) Find and serve on a volunteer community service project.
9) Edit/organize all of the video and photo footage we've accumulated in the past three years.

I am so into 6 out of your 9 resolutions....let's do it!
Whew! That's quite a list and quite a challenge. It's great that you are setting some goals that are just for you and not all about the kids. It's so hard for moms to focus on themselves. Of course, as a teacher, you're used to major challenges, so I'm sure you'll check them all off soon.
that's a pretty well rounded list. hope you are able to tick them all off your list!!
here's to the year of the mom!
Great list....I am going to link back to 2009: the Year of the Mom on my blog and participate, too! I'll join you on a few of your, too....the community service, the knitting......yeah!!!
As for community service, you are the official treasurer of Friends Beyond Borders, a NJ Not for Profit Corporation
