Bhahahahahha Got you didn’t I. You thought I was gonna get all new year’s resolutiony on you. Well I fooled you! I am the LAST person to do New Year’s resolutions. I think they’re silly and they always fail. If you do them, all power to you, no judgment.
I’ll admit that trying to be better, do better or give something up that is detrimental to one’s self is admirable and worthwhile but it never lasts. And when that happens you feel like a failure, and therefore kinda worse than if you didn’t promise to do anything in the first place. But having said all that here are 14 things I want to work on over the coming year to be a better person/mother/wife….. whatever.
14 7 Things to Try for 2014
1. Be more patient with the kids.
This is a tough one, I feel myself getting more short tempered with age. I am easily irritated and snap far more easily than I ever did.
2. Cook more and by more I mean cook healthy and nutritious meals and order less. And by less I mean stop being on a first name basis with the delivery guys.
That’s gonna be hard.
3.Stay caught up with the laundry….. HA I’m adding that because today I’m caught up with the laundry and it’s ALL put away and I like that feeling. I’m never gonna be able to do it but still I can try right?
4. Taking the dog on extra long walks. He’s getting old and his specialness is really starting to show and we don’t know how long we’ll have him….He’s taken to jumping down the last 3 steps and crashing into the wall.. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Also it’s a great forced fitness regime, right?
5. Write more, be inspirational in my writing, seize all opportunities.
6.Be a better wife, be more supportive and loving and ……….(trails off cos no one is buying it anyway)
7.Be more giving… of my time and my *ahem* expertise and my love and compassion.
There are so many people who are in need of support. Emotionally, financially, just all ’round. I hope to be able to be more supportive for the coming year. I better get my support hose on 😉
So there… being the better person is hard. This was going to be a list on 14 for 2014…but if I change too much I won’t be me and nobody wants that right? Right?!!
Happy New Year…. Make it count.

Yeah exactly! Happy New Year to you too.
It’s STILL hard to be patient with the kids?! Damn, I tell myself that I am going to be all sweetness once my kids are all over 6 years old (and then stop again once Princess is 13, of course). I guess I’ll have to aspire to walking your dog more since I don’t think I can measure up to any of the other ones…;)
