My 2011 Resolutions And Plan For Keeping Them


Losing the weight and excerise daily- Doing my weightloss yoga DVD daily and going to the gym atleast 3 days a week.
Be a better house keeper and get organized and STAY organized!- Figure out a laundry system, get the playroom set up ASAP,  daily chore schedule made up and printed off.

Make time for me-  30 mins a day to read, write, soak in the tub, unitterupted. I deserve it.
More dates with Hubby.- Monthly dates. Every month. No excuses. We need this time to bond with each other.
More time playing with my kids and less time online. I want to be a good mom who kids remember her getting down to color and play.
Start Kindergarten prep with Cohen- Start workbooks like my mom did with me. I want him to be prepared for school.
Potty Training Liliana. She is ready to learn.
Daily Bible reading- No excuses. I need to learn about the One who loves me most.
Learn something new everyday and expand my knowledge of the world.

It Is Time To Check Myself

Bad attitudes. Do I have one when ask to help serve my family, my church, my community? Do I grumble and complain because I think my God given talents and gifts are better used elsewhere? Do I get an attitude with those that I am working with because things are not my way? Do you? I have been studying the book of Nehemiah with my mom's ladies group at her church and this verse keeps coming back to me from Nehemiah 3 where Nehemiah talks about the beginnings of rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. He is talking about how each person did their job, fixing what was in fixing of them, how they all worked together, despite of job, job title, and class. All except the nobles of Tekoa.  "5 The next section was repaired by the men of Tekoa, but their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors." Even in the days of the Old Testament, there was always someone who thought they were too good to do hard work. They had bad attitudes about what the...

New Beginnings and Finding My Place

So this year, I have been making a lot of changes in my own body, mind, and spirit. I have started changing my lifestyle where my health is concerned. I need to lose weight. Simply put. It is not something that I would like to do, it has become a need to do. I battled postpartum depression for over a year, I was on medication for it but it seemed like all that was happening was that I was having to up my dosage of it. It was helping but I was not feeling better about myself, my role at a wife and as a mother. There was something missing still. In February, I started out all on my own by cutting out mindless snacking at night. That is all I did. I lost 5 lbs in 3 wks from that alone. In March I started exercising everyday for a minimum of 20 mins. More weight and inches came off. In April, i changed my eating habits. More weight and inches gone. However, something still felt like it was missing. I did not have any external support. Adam did the best that he could but he was only one...

Day 6/7 Learning Patience In This "Everything Now" World

In this "info at your fingertips now" kind of world that we live in now, I find I have no patience. I have gotten used to things being done as soon as I want it to be. I can inform the whole world of anything in an instant. I can take a picture of my kids and show my family right then. Download a new favourite song right to my iPhone as soon as I hear it for the first time. I have become too used to not waiting for anything in life. I am finding that as a Mom of small children (almost 6 yrs. old, 4 yrs. old and 2.5 months) that I am expecting things to be done in the very moment when I ask them to be. Kids do not work like the Internet does. They do not follow a sequence of key strokes or finger taps. They have their own thoughts and feelings. I am learning that I need to work on my patience with my babies. They are my children and I want to them grow up with a patient and loving mom. I don't want their memories to be of me losing my cool because the toys were not...
