New Year's Resolutions

Like everyone else, I make them.  Most of the time I don't follow thru.  Two years I did manage my weight goals (30 lbs each time).  But this year, I'm just not feeling it.  I have been reading blog posts and FB post about resolutions, and it got me thinking.  Maybe its because I'm exhausted and rather be in bed.  Or that I'm pretty darn happy with my life right now.  Whatever it is... I think I'm skipping the usual resolutions.  Instead, I am just going to organize my life.  I never quite got there after our move.  Yes, things have homes for the most part.  But my office is a mess, and my mind is slightly messier.  I have so many great stories that I want to tell, but I just seem to forget or don't have the time.  And that is the whole part of keeping up with this blog is to tell all our family and friends our great adventures.  Heck, I haven't even yet start to touch on our Christmas Holiday.

And I am finding it hard to keep up with Jocy and what she has going on.  Scary enough she hasn't started any outside school activities yet, which I'd like her to start soon.  I have found so many amazing teachers here, and haven't taken advantage yet.  I just haven't adjusted to how things run at BISI.  At Manor Hill, all homework comes home daily in a homework folder.  It's very easy and Jocy could handle it herself.  So I guess I slacked off.  But here, she has a lot more responsibility.  And so do I.  I have to keep up with all the home assignments via email.  Plus what she brings home from her other teachers.  Per the homework instructions, we should be spending 5 hours a week on homework.  I think that is a bit much for a 2nd grader.  Plus, she has to read and write about a book every week.  Jocy has lost that writing book twice already!  I think it is time that we finished her desk area.  Maybe then we will be able to keep things more organized.  Because it is not at my desk!

So starting tomorrow, I will not be starting a diet or exercise program or promising to eat healthier (already do).  But I will be getting my shit together.  So I guess.... that will be my one and only New Year's resolution.

Happy New Year!
