"My New Year's Resolution is to stop telling you what to do all the time...Here, I wrote down your resolutions for you."Seems to me that it's time to list a few resolutions. Hopefully some that i will actually at least sort of work towards maybe accomplishing...
- Make a concerted effort to make dinner at least 3 nights/week. Are some of you laughing at me? No, i do not make dinner very often and need help, i know.
- Give Bode healthier snacks. This one will be much to his dismay. I've caught him too often hovering over a Costco-sized drum of dry-roasted peanuts or a bag of Lucky Charms. I will not let him always eat his continual 4-food groups (nuts, crackers, pretzels & chocolate milk).
- Take better care of ME. Eat a better diet and at least start WALKING again, for pete's sake.
- Read and discuss the Relief Society lesson each week with Doug. Pres Kimball was the prophet when i was born (i'm pretty sure) and i remember when he died so i'm truly interested in what he had to say (i realize i should be interested in what they all had to say but he's just closer to my heart).
- Be OK with it when i stop nursing Keegen. I think we're close and I'm not sure how i feel about it, but it's been 9 months which is super, so be happy with that.
- Start working again. This agency I went through is fa-lakey, so find something else and make it happen. Soon. There are things I want to buy, already.
- Find a babysitter. Soon. There are things I want to do and a husband i want to reconnect with!
- Get Bode's "First Year" out of its storage box and into a scrapbook. Then get over my need to do elaborate scrapbook pages (which has led to doing NONE at all) and just get the rest of the pics into books...But start with Bode's, like i just said.
- Be consciously grateful for something everyday and write it down.
I think that's a good start for now. We'll see how I do.
P.S. The cartoon above is in Cami's honor (Jake's list)! ;)

You have great resolutions! I totally need to do the healthier snack thing too. We have a snack bin for the kids and it used to be full of organic cookies and raisins but has now degenerated to mini oreos and fruit snacks!! Best of luck on all your goals!!
Jenni--aah, yes. you must have the same snack bin we do. only our healthy, organic snacks are still there from 6 months ago. Bode simply climbs the pantry shelves to get to the good stuff! little monkey!
good list!! i guess i should do something along that line. one resolution i already have is the same as yours - to actually READ the relief society manual. i've NEVER done that. hopefully we'll do it!
Awesome! I totally wrote down Jake's resolutions . . . I also put out his clothing in the morning, do his homework, and brush his teeth. Too much??
These are great resolutions Ashlee! I need to borrow a few of them myself.
