I think I shall begin to use that phrase on my girls when they whine or fuss about something. ??? sounds like a plan, Stan.

Said that to a 2nd grader the other day walking down the hall and he said - "my name ain't stan!" I cracked up and said sorry charlie... "ugh!" hahahahaha Sometimes it is funny to talk with kids.

Bout to get busy making earth day plans.

So much for resolutions

Good night! One week into the new year and I have already broke a resolution.

I was going to try to blog everyday. It wasn't so hard when I was on break, but with work and busy schedules, it really is harder than it seems.

Television

Well, I basically spent my entire Sunday sitting and watching the bridalplasty show.



First of all, the drama and fakeness on any reality show is unreal...but to have girls (which are pretty big drama queens in the first place) compete for plastic surgery...??? What the heck.



Fake noses, fake boobs, fake friends! Geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Now, don't get me wrong, I am a fan of reality TV, I love Big brother and Amazing Race, but this may just be pushing it over the edge.



Sometimes it is upsetting to me the things that people compete for when there are so many that don't have food on their table, or a car that works!

off my soapbox for now.

Resolutions

Resolution: a decision to do something or to behave in a certain manner

How many people proclaim a resolution or maybe even more than just one on New Years day?
I have to confess I am one of the suckers that usually does that..I think it is more of a tradition than it is a promise. Like the definition says above - it isn't necessarily a promise, it is a decision to do something.

So here are my DECISIONS for year Twenty and Eleven. I am thinking that if I write them down and can review them occassionally, perhaps I can keep better track of them.

Decision #1: To lose weight. (Yes, I know that everyone makes this one - well maybe not everyone, and GAG if you are one of the ones that doesn't have to..) But I need to get to a weight that I feel good about myself again, and I know I can do it!

Decision #2: To let my kids make mistakes. Now, I am not going to just stop being the mom I have always been, but little things they need to make mistakes and learn how to get out of them and fix it themselves.

Decision #3: To blog - even if it is just one sentence, every day for all of this year.

Decision #4: To actually use the time clock at work. KL will love me for this one.

Decision #5: To get my finances in order. I have got to make a budget and stick with it.

Decision #6: To finish all my home projects that I want to get done around here.

So some of you may think that this is unrealistic, my list is too long...blah, blah, blah And here is what I wanna say to that.
These are my DECISIONS and only mine. If I fail at them, no one is harmed but me, if I succeed there won't be a party. So, make yours, I will make mine and we will all live happily ever after.

Happy New Year. May 2011 be filled with blessings and love.
