2010 Resolutions

First and foremost getting my kids to church every Sunday is my number 1 resolution for this year. I have slacked on that just enjoying lazy Sundays with the boys and Matt in the house but I really want to give my kids a solid foundation of faith to take with them through life. How can I be lazy in the most important part of rearing my babies? Anyway I am just going to have to push past my fear of finding a church family and being accepted for the sake of my babies. They are way more important then my fear of new things. I love going to hear my dad preach still but his retirement church is so small and there aren't any programs for kids. Our boys really need a social outlet and what better way to have that than with church friends? Anyway we are going to try out Calera First Church tomorrow I think. It is reasonably close and I have heard good things about it.

Second I am going to finally get to my goal weight this year. I am going low-carb currently (today numero uno) to get to a sweet weight by my best friends wedding in February. My dress fits but would fit better with a good 15 pound weight loss. I also have to pick up with my training for running. I have taken a break and allowing myself to slum around recently and I am getting restless. Monday thru Friday I will be at the gym @ 6am to run or do the elliptical. Saturday is my long run day. The boys love doing weight lifting with me and yoga. Cullen calls it yogurt. Ha ha. I want to show my boys a healthy active way of life. Really want the best for them and it starts with me. So good bye breads, rice, and pasta. Once Erin's wedding is done I will go back to Weight Watchers because that is just smart eating skills. One day I hope to not be obsessed with the way I look but today is not that day.

Thirdly and really the last of my reasonable resolutions is to get my home in order and to learn to keep it in order on a daily basis. This is in combination with keeping myself in order too. IE not going to work with my hair pulled back in a ponytail and no makeup. How you present yourself is important as is how you present your home. I will not go to bed with a dirty home nor without my next day's outfit for work ready to go. I will be showering in the gym and packing my work clothes so that keeps me organized and put together. I have to be the leader here in teaching my kids how to keep a clean home and room. If I cannot do this then I cannot expect them to either. Matt is doing his darndest home all day with the boys to maintain a level of chaos. Not great but really not as bad as it could be. Time will tell the story. I vow to be a better me and that includes a better wife, housekeeper, mother, and career woman. Oh the life of a lady these days!
