I've been thinking about setting goals for myself as of yesterday when it was 1-1-11 and I realized I had not even given it a thought. And I contemplated even setting goals this year. "I'm just so busy." But since this is the year I turn 30, I figured it is time I start getting my act together and start trying to improve on myself.
So here goes.
1. I love to cook! I have had the pleasure of entertaining quite a bit in 2010 and have been asked for oodles of recipes. Fact is, some of it's in my head and some of it is in this huge mess of 8 1/2 x 11 papers clipped sloppily together with a bag clip. I spend so much time sorting through it. And when I do find it, it's usually unsightly from liquid spills, kids nibbling the ends off, etc. So with the urge of my hubby who loves me to teach him all the GOOD recipes, my goal is to write down my recipes and put them in protector sleeves in a nicely labeled binder. So if I die my family will still eat Mommas good cookin' - paraphrased from Michael.
2. I would love to live a little more frugally. Get rid of a car payment and start working on long term savings for real.
3. This kind of contradicts #2 but finish the kitchen remodel, and turn the movie room into two bedrooms.
4. Try to be more proactive in going to church activities, especially relief society.
5. Be a better friend, and make new friends - the later is really tough for me since I already am squeezed for time.
6. Spend more time with my family including weekend trips back to the Rez. Wow, did I just really say that? But yes, I mean it!
7. Try to read 1 book - a good one, like one of those classics people are always harping on me about.
8. Potty train James and Madison.
9. Try to spend more quality time with the kids.
10. Not create so much laundry- both me and the kids
11. Date night at least once a quarter. Once a month is too ambitious. We will start out realistic.
12. I'm sure there's lots more but I think I'm off to a decent start.
I hope everyone had a great holiday! I look forward to the new year and all that it has in store!
Meet Jackson
Meet Madison
Meet James

I say the same thing about my recipe box of yucked up recipes. I need them organized, and spread out on a big notebook. sounds like a perfect project for......one of my girls.
and read one book - that's cute.
great goals. something about writing them publicly makes you take them more seriously like, "people are counting on me to do these!"
Date night is not so hard..just drop them off with me! I love taking care of the kids. Oh yeah we should hang out more too.
