2013 Resolutions

My Goals for this year :

  • Finish Career Diploma
  • Gain Employment- I always said when the kids both were in school I was going back to work.
  • Lose weight - Size 8 would be nice and is my goal. Fitting into a size 12 by the end of this year would be great too.
  • More Family Time
  • More Hubby time
  • Save, Save & Save- To buy a house. This one is gonna take a few years




Edit to update : 
 Almost finished with my career diploma. Have one semester left. 
I am now gainfully employed. Not my dream job but I feel a little more human everyday.
I am currently in a size 14 pants. Pretty close to my goal and I have 4 months left of the year.
Still working on balancing all the new changes in my life with family time and hubby time. It has been a bit of a challenge but I am trying. All the money we had saved went towards an emergency operation for our cat so we are basically starting over. Should be easier after the new year starts. We have so many big stuff coming up like,  heating fuel , christmas etc.

Another month gone.

We are heading towards the end of the year. Countdown to Christmas is on and then the countdown to the new year comes. New beginnings, new attitudes. Bring on 2013. I have probably  alright most likely have mentioned that this year has pasted by in like a flash.

OMG it's 2013

YAY! We survived the supposed apocalypse (12-21-12) &  made it to the new year :) 

What has happened so far this year~

  • Had the first PTO & Playground meeting of 2013
  • My van FINALLY got fixed :) 
  • Already celebrated 5 birthdays this year.
  • My son was grounded once already this year.
  • My son also has been doing excellent behavior wise since returning to school  Jan. 2nd
  • Already had a Fuel Delivery
  • Visited my Dad (who is a truck driver and rarely comes to town) & saw a whole bunch of family I haven't seen in 5 years.
  • Pipes froze (this happened just yesterday. Thankfully it has been resolved.)
What is too come next month~

  • Another PTO & Playground Meeting
  • 2 hr delay (13)
  • Pizza Project Fun Night
  • community dance
  • Winter Recess (16-24)
  • My youngest school physical appointment
  • School Fundraiser
  • The Superbowl
  • Groundhog's Day
  • Valentine's Day
Sounds fun, right? Well we can go ahead and add bills & housework to all that. Plus add Studying , cooking , etc. Yay! Even more fun. So as to not make this a total disappointing post I am going to add things I am looking forward to this year:

  • My husband, kids and my birthdays
  • Enrolling my youngest into school. Kindergarten this Fall. It is bittersweet.
  • Getting my career diploma (almost done..yay)
I accomplished one goal from my new years resolution for 2012 : The final goal for the year is to quit smoking and stay quit. I am hoping to have this goal accomplished before the year 2012 is over.
I Know I started it late in the year but I did complete it. Haven't had a cigarette since October 2012. YAY!!
I partially completed My Family night once a week playing old board games. We got the Old board games down. But we need to work on making more family time. 
 Also we accomplished the camping trip with the kids, another resolution completed :) 
Not bad if I do say so myself.
