Thursday 13: New Year’s resolutions I can handle

1. Go to bed on time (unfortunately going to bed and falling asleep are two different things!).
2. Get out of bed on time (well, I’m 0 for 3 on that one).
3. Clean less Stop feeling guiltly about not cleaning (is it possible? Probably not.).
[Edited due to comments: I am not a chronic cleanie. Far from it, so I don't want to leave the wrong impression! I hate to clean and I actually am a horrible housekeeper. I truly believe that's ok. There are more important things to do (like spend time with my kids). BUT, I am always feeling guilty about it and thinking about what I "should" be doing. And I often find myself in a hurried frenzy when I think someone might see the state of my house!]
4. Worry less (is it possible? I know so.).
5. Find more paying writing jobs (is it possible? I hope so).
6. Read more funny books (thank you, John Shore!).
7. Don’t watch the news (that’ll be easy!).
8. Avoid commercials (especially those having to do with the presidential campaign).
9. Never wash another dish (I wish).
10. Watch more family-friendly movies (and fewer movies that aren’t!).
11. Say “yes” more and “no” less to my kids (even if it means making a mess or interrupting what I’m doing).
12. Take joy in God’s little victories (chill out!).
13. Ok, ok … Exercise regularly (regularly can mean once a week!).

    You have to make a resolution to clean LESS? Does that mean you are a chronic cleanie, or does that mean you’re just tired of having to clean at all? If you’re a chronic cleanie, can I have some of your genes? :)

    Love the one about dishes, I loathe dishes!!!
    One of mine could have been clean more often but I am positive that one would bomb right away….
    Happy New Year!!
