New Year’s Resolutions From Jerseygirl89
I’m not very good at keeping New Year’s resolutions. Although in high school I did make a resolution to keep my toenails painted (what? I was concerned about world peace. I just didn’t think I could fix it) that I’m proud to say I’ve kept to this day.
It’s the only one.
So this year, instead of setting myself up for failure, I’ve tried a new philosophy. I’m only going to make resolutions that I can keep.
1. I will not make fun of Britney, Lynne or Jamie-Lynn Spears. Well, not on my blog, anyway.
2. I will not gain any more weight. (So much more attainable than losing weight. And still good for me!)
3. I will not question my parenting skills more than once a day.
4. I will wear shoes that are not my clogs or my sneakers at least once a week.
5. I will answer emails within three days weeks.
6. I will stop watching “WE”, the channel for psychotic women.
7. I will not waste time wishing I had somebody else’s blogging skills.
8. I will stop cutting my own hair when I’m stressed out.
9. I will remember to take my vitamins.
10. I will floss . . .more often (that leaves the options nice and open.)
I think I can fulfill these. What are your resolutions? Or do you skip resolutions at this time of year, realizing that jumping on the “new year” bandwagon doesn’t have anything to do with success?

I resolve to not set myself on fire when I have a toddler and newborn.
I think that’s a pretty lofty goal.

I think you can handle that. It’s totally do-able, and way to throw in the flossing. And, I also trim my hair when stressed. Usually several times a day.

excellent list. I’m also a WE/Lifetime junkie. I’m not even gonna TRY to break that habit.
Happy New Year!

I’m going to spend more time with husband and family. Since I don’t have kids yet, that means both my parents and his.

Niiiiice. I like this approach. I can’t keep a resolution for squat so i’ve given up making any.

I like this approach, very simplistic and attainable. I like the “won’t gain more weight” which is more realistic in “real life” than other approaches! I gotta remember to take my vitamins too!! as for not wearing clogs or sneakers at least once a week….well, I don’t know about that one!

That’s a nice simple list.
I also plan not to gain any more weight.

Very good and attainable resolutions, my friend. I haven’t made any. I’m just trying to get through this pregnancy!

[...] post. But then, um, I had to think of something New Years-ish to post about. I’m not posting my resolutions again. Because even though I totally lowered my expectations last year, I still didn’t stick with [...]
