2010...a new decade to start fresh. Or not. I mean, do we really need a new year to start a diet plan, stop bad habits and start new goals? I won't be in the swirl of this...instead, I will have no resolutions! That's right. Not a darn thing to improve, fix or start fresh. So this year, these are the things I will leave alone:
- Issues surrounding weight. Instead, I will eat smaller portions, on much smaller plates and remain left with that little bit of hungry leftover/feeling.
- Self Improvement: ya know, be on time, don't swear in front of the kids... that kind of stuff. I am gonna let this one rest too. No need to start being on time...everyone knows I run later and later. My husband even said to me last night, "Honey, the older you get, the longer it takes for you to get ready." I take that as a compliment for how I want to look good for him. In fact, the later I run... I may be late to my own funeral! Now swearing in front of the kids is merely an education they best get by their own mother. I think if they're gonna hear some swearin'... it better be from someone they know!
- Exercise and be healthy...hmmm, sounds like a lot of work to me. I will take vitamins and again- eat off the toddler-sized plates, but if you think I will get on a treadmill or the elliptical machine...HAHAHA! Actually, I do get on that equipment, yes...to wipe the dust off periodically when company comes. I don't want anyone to think I don't use our workout room.
- Save money. Well, if we had any extra, I would be saving. I have saved and made changes in 2009 and truth be told, I am now a penny pinching, coupon clippin', 2 for 1 kinda gal. I have made my husband both proud and able to eat a leftover. I would say that was an accomplishment, indeed!
- Spend more time with the family. Okay, I work with my husband, so any time I have outside of home or work...is merely bathroom time, which I wish to keep to myself. I think my husband would agree that this time is really not quality time for him, as well. Of course, if he forgets to replace a roll of t.p., I will suggest he visit me during this time as well. Just drop off a new roll and we'll chat later. Thanks.
However, I do spend lots of time with the kids. From wake up calls and lunch making to droppin' them off to the school and then pick up,chats in the car, homework to do, sports chauffeuring, dinner, and bed. Whew...do it all over again!
Well...there you have it. No need for resolutions for me. If you have a resolution or if you had an epiphany to resolve nothing...let me know!
Happy 2010!

Happy New Year, Caprice! Keep writing--you have lots of good stuff to say!
