By the next December Myself will remember that there was a list of things that she was supposed to do but forgot about. Then the guilt and sack cloth and ashes will have to come out of the Goodwill pile that Myself had been meaning to donate all year long.
I don't want to do that to Myself. She has enough to deal with.
But, Myself has also been heard complaining this last year about life just seeming to take over. The words purpose and intentional have slipped from her mouth many a time through-out 2010.
There have been tears of frustration. Days of depression. Weeks of trying to catch-up and "find a more efficient way." Myself likes efficiency. A lot! She wishes her home resembled that of the one in Cheaper By The Dozen. The book. Not the crappy movie.
So Myself has decided to make a list of things she wants to be more purposeful about. Which is kind of the same as resolutions, but because it's a different word she has tricked herself into thinking it's something completely different.
So I plan to share that list with you in the next few weeks. I say weeks because Myself is so tired from all the being purposeful that at the end of the day blogging is the thing that has to wait on the shelf. But the laundry is being done and food is being put on the table. And the children are more calm and obedient because they have a mommy who is spending more time with them than with Lola, the pink computer.
That's not me, by the way. Just making sure you're awake. And wanting to show off my Hot Hubby...using a pink computer.
I love this picture!
I did let Myself make one resolution for this year. And she's not afraid to call it that!
I resolve to lose 20 pounds by mid May.
How do I plan to do this? By having a baby! Remember, Jackson is due at the end of April. I figure that gives me a few weeks to shed the normal 20 lb baby weight. I'll FINALLY meet a New Years resolution and I'll have a cute baby to boot!
I know. You think I'm a genius. I'm not. Well, not certified. I did go to college for two terms though!

Ok. How can Lola be a pink laptop and a yellow feathery hair barrette? I'm confused. Second. You are brilliant.
Good for you for being intentional. You know that I, too, refuse to believe it's the same as having a new year's resolution! :-)
And I do have to say "You go, girl!" and I have complete faith that you will reach your goal of losing 20 pounds. No worries, Jackson will help. He's a good boy. He likes to help his mommy. Anything else you need him to do for you, you just let him know.... ;-)
