It's probably because it's the start of the year and it was Alice's first day at work today but I'm feeling like this year is going to be a good one. I have managed four days of non-smoking (Ben has just had a cigarette which I am not too pleased about but four days is still good doing it the 'cold turkey' way so now he has had his fix he says he'll be alright again!).
Hopefully the issue of our disorganised admin system at work will be sorted out this month and that's another thing that has been bothering me. Another thing to tick off the list of things to do.
I was looking on line about peoples opinions of new years resolutions and how we start of with all good intentions but generally have made too many and they are not achievable. One lady in her blog suggested that we instead should write a list of things we would like to do every day or week and goals for the longer term but make them positive and not cutting out things from your life..... whoops ......that's what I did !
I thought that this might be quite good fun so here is my list of achievable goals.
Every day
Spend some individual time with each of my children
Make them laugh :-)
Do something nice for Benjamin
A random act of kindness
Try to only say nice things about people - even if they are mean!!
Every week
Speak to a good friend - either in person or on the phone. Don't loose touch with people.
Cook a fantastic tea
Bake a really nice treat
Spend some time just Ben and I
Pick a much needed job to be done in the house and complete it!!!
Go somewhere nice or different with the children and the dog
In three months time
Have completed Amy's patchwork quilt and maybe even another
Have put up on the walls all my quilts/painting/pictures of the children - especially in the hallway
To have my friends over for a 'big meal'
Organise get togethers with friends I don't see very much
To decorate my bedroom
Before next year
Buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it
Loose a stone in weight so I can fit into all my fabulous clothes (alright it's cutting things out but so badly needs to be done... and putting a positive slant on it)
Find a fabulous pair of jeans - the search continues - but not until I loose the weight
Plan very cool birthday party's for each of my children, Benjamin and myself.
Cool lists hey? I think if I was to achieve these things I would be a very happy bunny.
This year I'm sure will be a good one. I'm going to be a grown up as I'll be 35 in July!!!! London is holding the Olympics and it's the fabulous Queens diamond jubilee, so many happy things and reasons to celebrate and get together with my gorgeous family and clinically insane friends hehe
