Resolution

Well it's that time of year again when we get out our notebooks and start frantically scribbling the things we want to improve on! 

I for one, am determined to only write those things down that are actually attainable, because I am eager to actually succeed on some of these things this year.

1.) Lose all baby weight before I turn 30 

EEK! I know, 30! What's next menopause!? Joking! I have approximately 149 days to complete this, but who's counting right?

2.) Learn to snow board or ski 

Now this one here is simply one of those things that would be cool to try, and hopefully succeed at! No more of those highly talented 3-foot-5 year olds pointing and laughing at me and I slide down the hill on my butt! 

3.) Create (and stick to) an organized schedule for my house

This includes, cleaning, paying bills, running to the store etc... I feel like my life is so topsie-turvie with Dan's schedule to deal with and baby! Organization is one of those things I've always struggled with and one-day I hope will overcome. Here's to hoping!

4.) Run the "Midnight Sun Run" in under and hour with Kodi in her stroller! 

Now this is quite a task. My fastest time was and hour and 3 minutes, but that was without a stroller and I was in killer shape that year! Plus, something about running these races is that there is some serious strategy to overcome with getting into a great "position" before the race starts. I simply hate those folks that think they average 8 minutes a mile and should really be in the "walkers" section. I hate tripping over people and even more it make me feel like we are racing to get the best doughnut or something. Just get out of my way dangit!! 

5.) Find a fun hobby for family to do together regularly

I'm thinking maybe hiking, or bowling or something that I could talk Dan into...hmm.

6.) Take a swimming class or something with Kodi that she would enjoy.

Pretty self explanatory here! You know, squeeze my huge butt into a tiny, life-squeezing bathing suit to go out and watch my daughter with, unexplained joy and fearlessness escape from her cute-little-face as she plays in the water. I think that's motivation enough to conquer #1. 

7.) Conquer my job! 

I want to be able to know what is going on at ALL times in my job, you know..."queen of the hive". Here's to hoping anyhow.

8.) Go fishing

Ok. Now this one is silly BUT, with a baby things like this aren't as easy as they once were. I know Dip-netting is out, that's WAY to dangerous. But maybe salmon fishing would suffice? I've never caught a salmon on a pole and I think that would be freaking awesome! 

Ok. I was going to count to 10, but I'm already starting to get overwhelmed by my list. I think I'll stick to #8 for now and if I'm overly successful I'll add more things as the year progresses.

Ahh. Things to divide and conquer! Now I just need to attack my dirty house.

*sigh*
