The New Year arrived with little fanfare at our home. No big party. The big boys and my husband stayed up late to watch a movie. The little guy and I went to be early. We don?t make a big deal about the New Year at our home. I guess we think of it as just another day.
As I look at 2012 I can say it was a good year. Most of it was spent redecorating our home. Endless hours of repairs, replacements and redo. I can?t believe we have done so much in such a short amount of time. We still have more to do, but the home does seem to be coming along well.
I didn?t make resolutions last year claiming I wasn?t into doing that. But this year I changed my mine. I didn?t get much accomplished last year with regards to my ?midlife something?. I?m no further along figuring out a new career for myself than last year. So many people have given me so much advice on this topic I don?t know what to think anymore. However, I do know I need to stop taking and make something happen. So this year I have resolutions for 2013.
Before I talk about my resolutions I want to clarify something.? I am a full-time mother by choice.? I like my job, but I know I have more to offer.? I was good as a Preschool Director, but the job was very demanding and I don?t think I can head back to that career without it negatively affecting my family.? At least not while the Little Guy is still young. I would like to be in a leadership role, but there are few leadership positions that are part-time.? So this is why I struggle.
For the New Year I have?three resolutions.? They are realistic and will make a huge difference in my life if I can get them accomplished.? Ready?here they are.
Three?New Resolutions for year 2013
Lose 5 pounds
Losing weight is always the top of everyone list for the New Year.? I am no exception.? I recently lost five pounds, so I only need to lost five more to feel good.? I am sick of the ?muffin top? I have when I put on my jeans.? Ten years ago I would have wanted to lost 10 pounds.? But being hungry all the time isn?t worth it.? I like food.? I like eating.? Nought said.
Write a screenplay or two
For three years I have had a television show idea in my head.? I?don?t?know where?it came from, but I have over time I have developed characters, storyline and plots.? The show is a comedy about motherhood (what else?).? I recently have made a friend in the movie industry who is a Director and we are meeting soon so she can give me a few tips and ideas.? I have two other TV show ideas that also need to be developed.? Are you surprised to read this goal?? I am surprised too.? What is most surprising is I don?t even watch TV.? My goal is to learn how to write a screenplay and write one.
Write 500 blog posts
This is a goal I set for myself a long time ago.? I?ve written 443 blog post already, so I am not far off from this goal.? Writing 500 blog posts is like writing a book.? If I can accomplish this goal I will mentally be able to say I am a writer.
So there you go. As I type the kids are fighting in the background.? I?m trying to cook dinner.? I have eight loads of laundry to fold.? At a time like this I wonder if I will be able to make it through the night let alone accomplish resolutions.
Thank goodness I have 363 days to get it done.? This is my year.? Last year was supposed to be my year too, but I am really ready now.? I want things to happen.
Bring it on?2013.
