So I just wanted to jot down some of the goals that I have for the upcoming year...........I don't like calling them resolutions since that makes me think that if I mess up, the game is up. Let's just call them things I want to improve in my life.

Losing some weight..........at 5'3" and 180, I am obviously overweight. I have been heavier ever since getting out of high school so this has been a struggle for some time. Also, adding to the fact that we are trying to get pregnant and that kinda adds to the whole, what's the point I am just going to gain the weight back? But a lower weight will mean a healthier momma so I shall try.

Becoming more organized and a better housekeeper. Speaks for itself.

Finding ways to make our budget work. Right now, it says 2 years and we will be debt free with $10k in the bank, That would be a nice place to be......but there are things that are going to come up that are going to try and stop that progress.......so I will try to head those off. Hopefully my projection at the end of 2013 will still say the same as the beginning.

Cooking more from scratch, and doing a garden, and getting chickens. This will take a major confidence boost in myself and my abilities. It will also factor into Goal #2. The whole, having time to cook from scratch, garden, have chickens........you know.

Oh, and homeschooling. We are doing well but I wish I felt more like I am not flying by the seat of my pants all the time. I don't know if that just comes with time or if it is something I can actually work on.

I think that is enough for now. If I can master these I should be able to reach that "awesome" status that Carrie alluded to. Then next year my goal can be to just continue being awesome too.
