As a family, we have many things that we can improve on. I talked to the girls about some things I would like for them to try to better...and they agreed on the following!
1. Energy! I imagine I would cringe if I seen the meter turning with all the lights that are left on throughout the house! The girls are going to be more aware of lights being on in rooms that aren't being used! I think they will get better with this after they figure out that we do not have monsters lurking in every dark corner...just under the beds!
2. DISHES! I have several things going on throughout my day...waitress is not suppose to be one of them! I have picked up more dirty dishes in the past year! From now on...dishes need to be scraped, rinsed and loaded in the dishwasher! Well....that is if I follow through with my Resolution #2!
3. Laundry! I don't blame my girls for avoiding this topic...I also hurdle myself into a corner and start sucking my thumb when I am faced with this nightmare! We all must brave our fears....so this means no more dirty clothes left on the floor!
4. Bible Reading! The last on the list, but mostly defiantly the most important. If this is the only resolution that my girls complete, I will consider this coming year a success! They each have a junior daily reading chart that is easy to follow...I pray that they do!
Now...for me! Nothing earthshattering...just a few things that are on the constant back burner of my mind!
1. Get Healthy/Loss Weight! When doesn't this resolution show its ugly face? I am going to be optimistic and say that this will be the last year it will grace my top 5!
2. Eat early! I'm am a notorious late, late supper fixer! My husband hates it...the kids whither on the floor claiming to be starved...and I go to bed with a full stomach that later in the night turns into heartburn! Nothing good about it!
3. Clean Kitchen! Since we will be eating much earlier in the evening, there is no reason to clean up before bedtime. I love a clean house...especially a clean kitchen. Whats the point to clean the kitchen after work and then dirty it again just a few hours later! I need to see my reflection in my once shiny granite...you know, to keep up with the progress from Res. #1!!!!
4. Bible Time! I need it....no doubt about that! I am such a better person with a Godly mind. I don't know why I don't make more time for this...it saves me.
5. DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!
