It's New Year's Day and my only goals for today: take a shower and put on a fresh pair of pajamas before going to bed tonight! Woohoo! I think I can handle those goals!
I may or may not clean since I cleaned yesterday. I definitely won't do any laundry since someone told me if you do laundry on New Year's Day you will wash a friend away! I definitely have a touch of my Maw Maw's superstitious nature in me. Yes, I know that superstitions are not things of God and I put my trust in Him but I can't help but follow a few of them--you know, just in case! LOL
I still cannot bring myself to eat black-eyed peas and collard greens and neither can Jeff so I guess we will be broke and out of luck again in 2010! I may run and get a few cans later and TRY....
I did one thing different this year...I managed to leave my Christmas stuff up until today at least. It may come down today or may wait till tomorrow. I usually just can't stand to look at it once Christmas is over but I read that you really should leave it all up until Ephiphany (Jan. 6) so the Wise Men can find their way to your house! And I so need their gold! Heck, I'd take anything they're bringing right now!
Our New Year's Eve was pretty uneventful. I did manage to stay awake this year but as usual, it's all about the kids. We got pizza and fireworks. Brooke had a few friends over and then went to their house and Kayti went to a party with the homeschool group so I had to stay awake and alert so that I could go pick her up at 12:30.
Today, Jeff & Dylan are gone hunting. I hope they bring home some meat!
My only New Year's Resolutions this year are to lose some weight and to get out of debt!! I may or may not lose weight. I would like to start exercising more and eating better just to be healthier but my main focus is going to be on getting out of debt! I want 2010 to be the year I call Dave and scream "We're debt free!!!" I SO wish I'd heard about him 20 years ago. But I don't think he was around then. I so wish I could get Mia & Chris and every other young person to check him out. His show is fabulous and his advice, down to earth, common sense and reasonable! And his plan makes so much sense. I am so thankful for him and his ministry. He motivates me just by listening to him help other people that call in.
I could make so many more resolutions...resume writing, find a new church (and I do plan to do that soon or Brooke is going to join the Mexican church up the street--not that that's a bad thing...just sayin'!), go greener, etc. etc. but I have found that making too many resolutions makes you less likely to keep ANY of them and I'm determined WE ARE GOING TO BE DEBT FREE!!!
Baby Cooper will be here soon! Just a little over two months away and I get another little man!!! I cannot wait! I've really got to get started on his blanky!
So what are your resolutions? How will you make 2010 the best ever?
