New Years Resolutions

Yes, it is that time again. The time when we make commitments to ourselves that we will work at for a month, think about for another month, then totally blow off the rest of the year. But hey, who can argue with tradition??

My New Years Resolutions for 2007

1. Under no circumstances, for any reason, no way, no how am I to get pregnant in 2007. This may seem minor to some, but considering I have been pregnant at some point in every year since 1998, this is a biggy for me.

2. To help guarantee number 1...no drinking of alcoholic beverages until Lee gets his "surgery".

3. Start exercising. And running up the stairs does NOT count as exercise, even if I do it 100 times a day carrying at least 17 pounds of baby.

4. Put more effort into my appearance. Although I don't mind BEING a stay-at-home mom, I don't love LOOKING like one.

(Note to self...number 3 and number 4 may contribute to the demise of number 1..work on that somehow).

5. Make Lee get that "surgery" (further guaranteeing number 1)

6. Be more organized. Don't think that needs any explanation for anyone who actually been in my house.

7. Do not, under any circumstance, no matter how tempting or enticing an offer might be....do NOT sell any of the kids on any obscure website (but eBay would be okay, it is reputable).


OK, that seems like enough to work on for now...I will be looking for support groups for the various resolutions...may start my own for number 7.
