Goals

So I'm not making a New Year's resolution list, just a list of Goals. I like that word better. I hope to do well at them all in 2009, but they are things that I want to be doing even longer than just this year, so however long it takes me to get everything going, so be it! At least if I write them down I will be more accountable to myself. So anyway, you don't have to keep reading if you don't want. This is mostly for me, but I'm really feeling productive...and I want to document my enthusiasm for myself.
Goals:
1. Make better routines for my kids, and stick to them. Have those routines include, French lessons, more reading of books, at least one craft or baking time with mommy per week, and less tv for Porter.
2. Get both boys to sleep consistently through the night in the same bedroom without us moving Porter in there after he falls asleep!! (This will be a MAJOR accomplishment)
3. Eat more vegetables, and less sugar.
4. Go to the gym consistently.
5. Say my morning prayers more consistently.
6. Keep my dishes done. Do them after every meal. (Noah and I have been working together on this one lately, and it has been going MUCH better:) Love those sweet husbands!
7. Make my budget (have done this every year in the past). Actually record and track my budget every week-to make sure we stay within it-Now that hasn't always gone well. But this year is the year!! I feel it!
8. Help Porter learn to do more chores. I spoil him too much. Work will be good for him.
9. Deep clean my house every week, and make sure it is straightened every night before I go to bed. I figure always waking up to a clean house will make life much happier!
10. Actually get my baby boutique going, I've had it kind of set up for a while. And now I need to dive in for real. This will be the big push for me this year.
11. Get caught up on my scrapbooks. I'm actually not too far behind, thank goodness. But it will feel great to be totally up to date.
12. Take more video of my kids. They are growing up so fast, and I always forget to get out the video camera.
13. Clean out my "bucket of junk". this pink bin has been getting fuller and fuller for three years, all stuff that can probably get thrown away, but I just need to go through it-yuck. I will go through it and clear it out this year. That is a promise!!
Anyway, those are some big ones, I'm sure I will come up with more as I go along, but that is a pretty good list for now. thanks for listening if you made it to the end!!
