Last Year’s Resolutions
Thought we’d do a quick review, for old times’ sake. Although I didn’t re-visit this list once, after I made it. Got’s t’do something about that next year… or just not make one, I guess!! ((The black are the ones I actually managed to do!!))
Family & Friends

- I will curb my insta-temper, try to be less emo.
- I’ll spend more time cuddling my kids.

- I’ll create a more peaceful/comfortable atmosphere for my family.
- I resolve to keep poisonous relationships at bay as much as possible.
- I will hand-write a two letters a month.

- I aspire to incubate chicken/duck eggs into hatchlings.
Homeschool Endeavors
- I will finish the first TWO Charlotte Mason books.
- I will take my kids to a different park once a month.
- I will keep a garden log for our nature notebooking.
- I will finish the holiday lapbooks for our collection.
- I aspire to catch up our history readings.
Physical Goals
- I will run a 5K again.
- I aspire to reach my target weight of 147.
- I will become obsessive about drinking water.
- I’ll keep a food journal every day.
- I’ll update my CPR/ First Aid training.
Entertainment
- I will take the kids camping at least twice.
- I also will take them to Great Wolf Lodge and Michigan Adventure.
- I will take them bowling, rollerskating, and to the movies at least once.
- I will put them back in dance this year.
- I aspire to look into the free family guitar lessons.
- I will take them to a parade, a tractor show, and a fair.
- I aspire to make it to Fernwood Garden and St. Joseph’s lighthouse.
- I aspire to take the kids to Chicago or the U.P… or both.
- I will start keeping a reading log.
- I’ll take the kids to three theatrical productions this year.
- I will (along with Lydia) continue to sing every other week.
- I aspire to visit Garfette and either see a show or sing with her.
Actually, I don’t think I did too badly, for not having looked at it. And a few of them got half finished (like the dining room chairs)… but I can’t count it, because it’s not finished. And I made it from 200lbs down to 185(ish). Still… I can be happy with that – and work harder next year to do even MORE!
And as a BONUS…!! I like doing my Facebook Year in Status, but they never let me do what I want. So this year I just took the statuses from their list and created my own. Here it is – you definitely will need to click to be able to read it!
