2008 was a milestone year for our family -- I can't believe it's over already. My son started kindergarten, my daughter entered preschool, and CafeMom gave birth to Daily Buzz!
I'm so happy to be here. And I know that 2009 will be just as great as 2008, especially if I can live up to some of these personal fulfillment goals. I have hope that I'll be able to do at least a few of them this year (but probably not the chocolate one).
So here goes. I resolve to ...
Play with my kids a lot more. Those dirty dishes will just have to wait. The older and more independent my children get, the more I realize how truly precious and temporary these moments are.
Go for more walks. It's the only exercise I get, and my only hope for getting back into shape.
Get to know more of you. There are so many wonderful moms out there that I've yet to meet!
Rediscover patience. Stress is not good for anyone, least of all my kids.
Pare back on chocolate. I'm addicted, and it has to stop (for the most part).
Be more charitable. My time is just as valuable as my checkbook.
Here's wishing everyone a happy and shiny 2009!

I wanted to lose weight.... I gained more and I wanted to be debit free.... I gained more!!! So to end 2008 I paid off two bills and two more payments will pay off a third.... three (almost) down.... two more to go!!! I will have basic bills and car payment.... 2009 I hope will be a better year for us.... doesn't seem that way... Hubby was giving a lay off notice from his part time job and a notice that his hours at work will now be cut (full time job).... so is this the end of a crappy year or a start of a new crappy year for us??? I will let you know I am sure, thanks to Cafe-Mom!!!
I said that I wouldn't gt preganant in 2008, and I didn't! I had my girls 14 mos apart, had my youngest in March. I just didn't want to get preggo again so quickly, haha
