*get some exercise at least 3 days a week, even it is just a family walk.
*try to do a better job grocery shopping, buy only what I need (and remember to bring my reusable bags with me). to do this I will also need to do some *meal planning and write it all down. this will help with *not letting things go bad in the fridge.
*figure out my style. Easy? No, I don't know what exactly fits my personality these days or works for my life. *buy quality clothes, not quantity.
*read more books, for ME (I read plenty of kid books). I read two books this week and it was fun (thanks Mol).
*develop a cleaning regime. I hate that all of a sudden the entire house feels dirty, and that can be overwhelming. Clean the bathrooms each week on a set day, dust on a set day, vacuum- well that is an almost everyday thing here.
*get caught up with my photos. Make scrapbooks and put all old pics into an album. For this I will need to get LOTS of pictures printed.
*be patient
*not interrupt or jump to conclussions
*get more involved with other kids, Gabby and Elliot need more friends to play with.
*have both kids sleeping through the night in their own beds!!! Gabby is good at this, but lately she has been wanting to come to our bed. Elliot, well this will be a major task!
Hope that writing this down helps inspire me to make it all happen- or at least work toward it! Yes, there are plenty of other things out there that I plan to do too but these were more of the selfish things.

Good Goals Sis! Lots of things to work on, so don't get down on your self if you put some by the wayside.
This was a cross-stitch on someone's wall but it's always stayed with me (even though I'm not a mom):
"The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."
Your goals are admirable, but you are INCREDIBLE, so don't be too tough on yourself!
truthfully, the goal of cleaning is just to try to get me to do some things more often! The bathrooms and dusting are my total downfall. I do agree Kay that I would much rather snuggle my babies than have a spotless home!
I meant to tell you that in order not to forget to take the reuseable grocery bags to the car, we hang them on the door handle once we've unloaded the groceries. Then, who ever goes to the car next just throws them in the trunk so that they are ready for next time. Next step for me is to have one in my purse for the regular shopping too....
I want to read more too! I'd love to hear what you've read.
