This year I have a New Years Resolution and Im gonna stick to it...Yes I am! In the past I either havent even made a resolution (cause I knew Id break it, lol) or I havent followed it. The pathetic thing is, I dont even know what my new years resolution was last year. Anyways, Im starting with some simple ones this year.
1. Sleep more at night- I realized recently when a thread was posted on a forum I frequent that I have sleep paralysis at night. Its pretty freaky and its been happenning more and more lately, I had no idea what it was when it happenned but that I know Ive read up on it and I think it is from sleep deprivation. I get approximately 3-5 hours of sleep a night. Somedays I can live off of it, somedays I am exhausted and I cant get anything done. Sleep is necessary, I need it and I gotta get more.
2. Keep the house cleaner on a daily basis- Usually its either sewing or cleaning. And if I clean, sewing suffers. And if I sew, cleaning seriously suffers. On the other hand, if I sleep more at night maybe I wont be such a zombie during the day and I can get up and get the house clean earlier, so I can sew just as much.
3. Exercise Every Other Day- I need to lose like 20lbs of baby fat, this has to happen this year! LOL I am going to try to get to the gym starting this week every other day!
4. Get up Earlier- This goes hand in hand with getting MORE sleep. Most mornings my kids are up at 7:00am and I keep them in bed watching TV until like 8:15am, than I struggle to get us all dressed and out of the house by 8:45am even though I set out clothes & make his lunch the night before. If I sleep more at night, I should be able to get out of bed at 7:30am, so I have time to sip my coffee, wake up and than get us all dressed and out of the house by 8:45am at the latest.
5. Take more time for ME- Lets face the facts! LOL Ive lost myself. Every single extra dime I have goes into my children and really they arent lacking in anyway shape or form, the only person lacking in this house is me. I lack in clothing, shoes, jackets, etc. I need to take more time for myself getting ready, showering, etc. I need to spend a few extra dollars on ME, even if its a $7 tshirt on sale. At least its not old and faded! LOL
Ok, thats it, lets see if I can stick to it! :)

i TOTALLY get what you mean about sewing vs cleaning. one of the reasons i decided to stop doing customs. i need to put my family first, and that means they need a clean house to live in.
