resolutions

Today is my little baby brother Peter's 30th birthday!!! Hope you have a happy day.
Well it was a "resolution" to be better at the birthday thing, perhaps with a card and something a bit more significant than a shout out on the blog, but that did not happen because before his birthday I missed my other little brother Ben's birthday on the 7th he hit 34 ! And my neice Alexis, cannot believe you are 18. I remember the day you were born, I was a cool senior in highschool, I came home and saw a note on the dry erase board that your mom was in labor to which I was immediately surprised because you weren't quite due. we went up to the hospital and waited and then you came out with your little white hat and big huge eyes weighing a mere 5 lbs. too cute!! and now you are graduating from high school this year.

Here are some of my other resolutions, many of which have already been broken...

not to wear my hair up in a ponytail or knot EVERY day

getting dressed, the items I call "lounge wear", well they are really just pajamas, and yet I still have no problem going out in them.

taking a shower before 2 pm

after hearing Sam saying " go you freaking turtle", or "move moron"...I need to watch my road rage a bit as well as language

getting some math tutoring for myself because I find fifth grade math almost impossible, and third grade even a bit challenging at times.

coming up with something oh so clever in come back to the ever increasing comments and questions about MY choice to have SO many kids! and not caring what they say in the first place.

finding a way to decrease the laundry that I am responsible for doing.

going to bed at a decent hour so I can be nice and cheerful in the morning for my kids so they can start the day off nicely. but at night when everyone is asleep, except of course for Magnolia Claire...I just want to sit and be "alone".

finish reading this ridiculous Twilight series, I CANNOT believe I got sucked into them, but yes I did. I may have been the last person that read them...my BFF Carol said she read them and liked them. REALLY CAROL?? you too?? So she brought over the first one and I read it in a day, so I went over and got books 2 & 3. I read the second the next day. It took my 4 days to read number 3 b/c Chris was getting tired of me doing nothing but reading. I LOVE to read, and so I will not do anything else. That's why lately I've been sticking to magazines. So now I need number 4 so I can be done with this and find out what is going to happen with Bella, and Edward, and Jacob. Does anyone have a copy?

stop getting so many clothes for Maggie, the girls are jealous of her wardrobe, she takes all the closet space and we don't even go anywhere!

and stop wasting so much time on this computer.
