"New Years" resolutions

My birthday is the start of my very own new year, so I am going to try to take that and make something of it.
Here are my New Years resolutions:

1. Take responsibilty for my emotions
I can't let people make me feel bad or count on them to boost me up when ultimately my feelings are just about me and not anyone else's responsibility--seriously.
2. Be a better Housekeeper
My carreer choice is to be a stay at home mom. It doesnt pay well, but if done right it really helps the family dynamic tremendously. So I need to embrace the responsibilties Ive claimed and do them well. I'm good at it when I try.
3. Eat better
I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers You have to reach your goal weight and maintain it for a significant time before you get that benefit. Again, I'm good at it when I try.
4. Exercise more
I dont even know where to start, but I'm not getting any younger. Maybe if I actually do 15 minutes a day...
5. Pay off credit by my next birthday
This would be HUGE! We have been spending $600/mo (all of my income) on credit debt and if we could do $800/mo for a year, it will all go away. Then we might be able to play a little more. That means a whole year of no extras, but it will be so worth it. we put all of our tax rebate into it and our return so the end really is in sight. This will be the hardest of them all.


Before I get all overwhlmed, how 'bout some things I already do well:

say I love you every time I think it
Hug my kids
Help them feel smart.
I'm creative with my resources
I see the truth in people
Im not afraid to have a little fun
I put my family's needs first
I smile a lot
I am open minded
I care


so this is where I am today and I am aiming for some balance and peace in my life. I am going to start with FLYlady cause I know it works, so off I go to shine my sink!

My first blog-it looks fun, but what am I s'posed to do? hmm Ok so Ive got some colors picked and a silly caption picture, but I think I'll practice a while before I share with friends...
Today is my Birthday!
I've decided to look at it as a new years day. A new me. I am going to make an honest effort to take better care of myself for a change. Being a self sacrificing martyr helps no one-not that I have really been that bad, but the world deserves to know the real me. She's freakin' AWESOME
