New Year, New Resolutions

So, after several months of contemplating a blog, I’ve decided that it IS in fact something I’d like to give a go at. My husband suggested it to me while on was on maternity leave with my youngest, but I wasn’t sure what I would write about. However, over these past months I’ve found myself saying, “I need to remember that”, or, “Time is just going too fast!” So, here I am, attempting to capture every crazy, frustrating, hilarious, precious, laughable, milestone that I encounter. And, having 3 boys, I have a lot.

The New Year has begun, and I do have a couple resolutions that I’m hoping to accomplish before the years end. (Sooner rather that later hopefully)

1. Learn to crochet. My sister taught me once, but I don’t remember, and I didn’t do very well at it. Our neighbor is always giving the boys new hats or slippers. She will come over and measure Easton’s feet, and come back an hour later with new little camouflage booties! I’ve become inspired. Plus, I LOVE those homemade wash clothes!
2. Speak my feelings more often. I often walk away from situations and wish that I would have said something. I’m not quite sure why I don’t, but I’m going to really try to change that.
3. Keep on top of household chores. Yeah, totally easier said then done. But…..I will at least give it a good shot. I usually do pretty well at this, but heaven help me if I skip a day. Its amazing how fast the laundry and dishes add up!! It is helpful if I assign myself one chore to do each day. I’ve done this in the past and it really helps to stay on top of things that I normally (choose to) forget. ; )
4. Read/play more with the boys.
5. Really try to find time/babysitter for dates with my husband.

After work today I’m going to start with one of my resolutions. I’ll go to Michaels and buy a crochet hook and a Skeen of yarn. Wish me luck!

I also need to buy Nolan a new pair of shoes. I don’t believe there is a kid on earth who wears thru clothing faster then he does! I was really looking forward to using my Kohl’s cash on a scarf that I’ve been thinking about for myself. I guess that will have to wait.

Omar goes back to school tomorrow. I was rather enjoying the break from packing lunches and making sure his backpack was all ready to go in the morning. But he’s so excited to bring his favorite bay blade to school for recess. He’s convinced that his orange one will beat all his friends.

And it will be more baby food making for Easton tonight. Carrots and apples are all I need to finish making. Then he should be stocked on food for a while.

Cleaning Task – put away the clothes that are hanging haphazardly in my bedroom.
