10 Resolutions We Intend to Keep

Last year, our one & only resolution was to survive becoming parents and just take things as they come. This year, we set a few goals that we really want to meet. Here they are:

1. Get back in shape stat- and stay that way!

2. Stick to our monthly "allowances" (yes, all 3 of us have one now!) and save, save, save!

3. We will no longer spend energy on people who clearly do not really care about us or our new family, as hard as it may be to let those relationships go

4. We will instead spend more energy on cultivating our relationships with the people in our life who actually do care

5. Teach Braden to eat without flinging his food everywhere (I realize we may be waging a war we cannot possibly win)

6. Do not kill Braden or ourselves when he IS flinging food everywhere

7. Leave Braden with another family member and go on a date AT LEAST once a month

8. We will not focus on Braden the entire length of the date in #7

9. Read more, eat better food, & drink more wine- and pay much less attention to the news!

10. Take "me time", for a good chunk of a day, for one day out of every month-this one goes for Bill & I and it is much needed. (After all, to Braden, every second of every day is me-time!)
