Hello 2017!!!! I have been thinking a lot about 2017 and what I want to accomplish this year. I think like everyone else they set goals and have great intentions to accomplish them all. I know I am one of those people. I am a list person, every year I get my note book out and I write down all my goals for the year. Sometimes there are 20+ goals. Really, who can accomplish 20+ goals in the year? This year I am doing goals but going to make them somewhat accomplishable. I am going to blog everyday, I am going to tell you all how they are going so I am held accountable for each one of them. As most of you already know I “LOVE” to cook, but I hate to clean up the mess so after working all day the last thing I want to do is cook and clean. I would always get the kids in the car and go out to eat or go through the drive through and eat out. We spend so much money eating out, plus it is no unhealthy for us. I am not doing any favors for my kids, what kind of example am I to my girls. With Eric being gone a lot at night for work, it’s so easy to have the attitude lets just go grab something to eat. If I make dinner every night and he has some down time he can come home and eat with us. Eric biggest concern is being a police officer and being in a drive thru and get that call that he has to go to and be stuck in the drive thru and can’t get out or be in the line waiting for his food and have to leave plus it’s not healthy for Eric to eat out all the time. As the wife I need to be better at cooking dinner for my family. With that being said that is my First New Years Resolution making a Menu for 5 days a week and eating dinner as a family at home at our kitchen table. Here is my menu for this week.
~MENU~
Monday Jan 2nd- Kamree Birthday Dinner- We did eat out today for my daughters 15th birthday
Tuesday- Chicken Tenders, Steamed Veggies, & Broccoli Salad
Wednesday- Carne Asda Tacos with Black Beans
Thursday- Crockpot Pepper Steak with Caulflower Rice
Friday- Breakfast Pizza & Hashbrowns
Saturday- Creamy Chicken Pillows, Steamed Veggies, Rice -A-Roni
Sunday- We usually eat dinner at my mom’s on Sunday so we all bring something to eat
Second New Years Resolution:
I have been saying for the past 3 months that I was going to start going to the gym and work my butt off and get some body parts toned up. It is hard to get to the Gym but I have made excuses one too many times. I am not going to promise you that I will make it to the Gym 4 days a week but I will promise you that I will do something 30 min a day, I have an amazing spinner bike, a really good peddle stepper that kick’s your butt all at home, so I can’t make it to the gym which I am going to try really hard, I need my alone time, I need to take care of my self first than I will do something at home.
Third New Years Resolution:
Get out of Debt….. I love my purses, shoes, clothes and home decor. I buy a new purse every couple of weeks. I have put a stop to that (for now) LOL. Every time I want to buy a purse or shoes or something that I really don’t need I am going to put that money towards a credit card or car loan or something instead of waisting my money. We are going to go straight cash on some things, we are giving our self an allowance so we still can buy items for us but when the money is gone it’s gone. I still can get my hair done, my nails done but it all comes out of my allowance. Than at the end of the month what is left in our account we are going to put that towards a debt. We have lowered our cable bill, we cut that bill in half. We are going to work as hard as we can and get out of debt.
Fourth New Years Resolution:
Have a positive attitude about everything, be thankful for everything I have, be grateful for my job, my cute small older home, for the amazing life, husband and children I have. I am going to be a better mom & wife. I am going to work really hard on not yelling at my kids, or getting frustrated with them for the smallest things. I get frustrated really easy which is not fair to my kids. If I am happy and have a positive attitude than hopefully everything else works out. I suffer from depression and have been for many many years, my goal this year it to fight the depression, fight the demons, and hopefully with my Dr approval and my self approval get off the medicine, This is something I may not be able to get off my meds but this is something I would love to accomplish.
Fifth New Years Resolution:
Go to church every Sunday, and not break the Sabbath. Working 5 days a week and having Saturday be the only day that I have to get everything done, There will be times that I have to run to the store and grab something, or we do something as a family. I know what we are suppose to do, I know what the lord wants us to do but it’s really easy to just make an excuse dad say next week I promise I won’t break the sabbath. I am not setting a good example to my girls. I need them to know that we need to follow the commandments and do what we are suppose to be doing. This is going to be a really hard one for me but I will do my very best and make this goal a priority.
Sixth New Year Resolution:
Have Family Home Evening and Family Prayer. We don’t really do Family Home Evening but this is something that I want to start doing with my girls every Monday, I need to spend as much time as possible with my girls one day they are going to be married and have their own family and than what???? I am all a lone and have no one there. I need to cherish these moments and be with them as much as possible. I know if we pray together every morning and every night it will bring us so much closer to each other.
Seventh New Year Resolution:
Have a clean house- I don’t know about you but when I have a clean house my life seems to be better, I am happier, I am happy to be home, I want to be home. I love having a clean house but I am so tired by the end of the day that I don’t want to clean, same thing with cooking, I love to cook but hate to clean, but as a family we can work together and make it all happen. I have such amazing kids. They help me out so much and do so much for me. I love each one of them, I know having a clean house will make me feel better. Part of a clean house is making our beds every day, I love climbing in bed when it was made makes me sleep better, I love being in a tight bed. I sleep better.
Eighth New Year Resolution & FINAL ONE!!!!
Get my Photography and Vinyl Business up and running again. I have loved doing pictures for so many clients and I took a break from it but I am ready to start again. I am going to start a vinyl home decor, re finish furniture business. This is something that I have a great passion for and what I love doing.
I am going to make 2017 the best year possible. I am giving this 150%, I am going to work hard to accomplish all my goals. There will be some ups and downs, there will be mistakes made along the way. I am not perfect but the one thing I will know that you only have one life to live and why waste it, why not make it the very best you can. I am so beyond grateful for my amazing husband, my beautiful girls, I am thankful for my job, my house, my cars, my life.
Starting tomorrow I am going to Journal my day, including all the food I put in my mouth, all the dinner I cook, all the cleaning I do, all the exercise I do. This was I am held accountable for everything.
I am looking forward to 2017!!!!!!
