Happy 2012!

Happy New Year!  
I cannot believe it is 2012!  Time goes by so fast.!

So...for the first time in the past 20 years my New Year Resolution isn't to lose weight.  Yahoo!  Actually if you saw me today you may question this decision, but don't worry, I know what I am doing!  I stopped dieting about 8 months ago and my life has been so nice.  I lost 15 lbs. and I haven't put it back on-and I don't eat all salad and diet food.  I eat what I want.  So I am sticking with this to see where it takes me.

My new "resolutions" are going to be things like:

1)  Do better at all of my "Churchie" things-scriptures, prayer, FHE...you know....the standard good stuff.

2) Don't try to be an "overachiever"!  I am trying to do the KISS method.  Keep It Simple Stupid!  I tend to overdo things.  I can still do what I like to do without having to go crazy doing it!

3) To do better at my "mommy" duties.  I know I have been bad when my kids can't stop thanking me for making "real" food now.  LOL!  I made breakfast the other morning when I had my nephews and niece spend the night and Christian said "Are you starting to cook breakfast now?"  I laughed and said heck no!  I have Averi's therapists over starting at 7 am every morning.  I used to cook breakfast, but now I am too busy in the mornings.  Sad huh?  I tell my kids they will thank me some day for giving them a chance to learn important life skills like laundry, cooking, cleaning, and yard work.  It works most of the time.

So...if I have it in writing maybe I will feel more compelled to do this stuff, right?

I probably should include "be less crazy, less air-headed, less weird, or more normal, (or stop using so many exclamation marks when I write)"  but that would mean I wouldn't have good stories to tell.  I love to laugh at my crazy life experiences, it's too fun!  And I like using exclamation marks because that is how I think inside of my head!!!  It is really loud in there sometimes!  : D

 P.S.-  I will be so mad if the world ends this year!  We aren't planning any big vacations until 2013 so we can pay off our debt, so the Mayans better be wrong!  I got a Mayan calendar, but I can't read Mayan, so I have no idea what it says.  Who trusts people who played ball with other peoples head anyway? Not me!
Here is where the Mayans made up the future...
This is me standing on their "human head" ball field-Gross!  I won't even tell you what else they did...freaky!
