Happy New Year!

I’m not real good at keeping New Year’s Resolutions so I’m just going to make a few simple ones for our homeschool and home to help them run more smoothly.

1.      Wake up between 8 and 8:30.

2.     Make sure the kids are in bed on time.

3.     I need to be in bed by 1:00a.m.

4.     Have the kid’s breakfast partially prepared the night before.

5.     Have their clothes prepared the night before.

6.     Set aside a few hours on the weekend to plan school, go over my calendar, make a menu for week and cut coupons.

7.      Do 2 loads of laundry a day.

8.     Have a quiet time after lunch.

For my own personal self I need to:

1.      Lose weight

2.     Exercise

3.     Eat healthier

4.     Have more personal time

5.     Get a good medical check-up

6.     Have daily Bible time

7.      Read more

I guess we will see if I can keep the personal resolutions, so far I've been unsuccessful.  I'll keep praying for strength.  If I can keep the homeschool ones it will be a big improvement and help make life easier and less stressful.

Your goals look alot like mine. However, so far I'm not doing so good. The 2 loads of laundry is one I've been trying to do and it does work. I still have a couple mounds of laundry, but if I know I'm doing 2 a day it relieves some of the guilt.

Hi. I really thought this year would be different. Seems I can't make myself do something I don't want to do...exercise. I am not giving up. Just going to rethink that goal. Good luck to you in 2007 with your goals!

Not saying you need it....giggle....but if you really do want to do numbers 1-3, as I do, you might want to check out Discovery Health's National Body Challenge, which starts January 13th (but you can pre-start now). I really like it a lot. It's not gimmicky and is easy enough to do. Kids can do it, too, which would be a great hs project. http://health.discovery.com/BodyChallenge/index.jsp
