Late New Year's Resolution

Having to balance both work and parenting in itself is such hard work that I have neglected myself along the way. I haven't exercised in almost a year and I feel awful about it. I have come up with a short list of what I'm going to set for myself this year-one that relates to each person in this household:

1. I will consciously exercise patience (and bite my tongue) even when my 2 year old is throwing random trantrums (the last one being his bread breaking into 2 pieces).

2. I will start to exercise (no big guarantees-let's start maybe with just walking for half an hour a day).

3. I will make an extra effort to be nicer to my husband and actually spend some quality time with him (even though it feels like all he wants to do is watch TV).

I will keep you posted to see how these actually go as the year progresses. Boy, I'm interested to find out myself. I was going to put "less shopping" on there but with my recent credit card statements, I think it's an unwritten resolution anyway. ;) I can't promise I won't be posting "lust after items" though.

Belated Happy New Years to everyone....
