New Year Plans.

With the New Year starting I want to really work on a few things. It is so hard to do such things though. I am going to list my goals and than how I think I can complete them and how I also think things could get in the way.

My list of 15 is as follows:

1. Be a better Mother.

This one should be easy but it could also be hard because I need to be home more. The other night Trig said Mom why you always have to go to work. Me misses you. This comment made me so sad. I really need to make a point to do dinner with them as a family but Chad isn't ever home for dinner before 7 pm which makes it kinda hard. But I know that I can do better.

2. Be a better Wife.

I don't think that I am a bad wife by any means but I think I need to think more about Chad's feelings and how he feels with somethings and take them into consideration more.

3. Do more things as a family.

I really want to start doing something as a family once a month. This gets so hard with the farm but I am going to really stress to make it happen.

4. Do more things with my Husband.

Chad and I don't find time for us time unless our eyes are closed in our bed. I personally think we need to have date night at least once a month.

5. Keep my house cleaner.

I don't think my house is by any means dirty. It is messy but I have to keep telling myself that I can have a messy house at some aspects of things a messy house means happier children and my children are happy kids.

6. Clean out the basement and throw out so many things.

Well for the basement that is a totally different story. You can't see my basement floor. All the baby stuff is in there and all the clothing from when the children were little little. I mean totes and totes of clothes. We need to go through it but that will take a month I feel like so I keep putting it on the back burner.

7. Pick up sewing a little again.

Once the basement is clean again I can sew a little bit here and there.

8. Move the bedrooms around.

This chore is already done we took a Sunday out of our time and moved Trig upstairs where our bedroom was in the loft and moved us downstairs to Trig's. I moved all the toys up there also and that is so amazing. We don't trip over all the toys because before they were all in our living room. It was so hard for me to breathe.

9. Don't worry so much.

I think I was born with the worrying trait. I don't know how or who I got it from but I don't like it so much. I just have to let things go and go with the flow and not worry about the what ifs!

10. Be home more.

It isn't that I don't want to be home. I just really like to work and I picked a little side job and that takes up a little bit of my time also. But I can do it from home so I need to start doing it that way. I am in the process of changing my hours at work so I am home by 3 pm three days out of the week.

11. Take a trip with Chad.

I really want to save tons of money and go somewhere exotic with Chad this Winter.

12. Go to the cabin more.

I love the cabin as do my children so we will be making a point to truck it up there more often this summer. Trig really wants to go ice fishing so maybe we will have to do it this Winter also.

13. Work on my patience.

I am not a very patient person. I don't know why but I really need to work on this one. This is probably my biggest goal of the year.

14. Work on my anxiety.

If I could stop worrying and be more patient I think that my anxiety would go away. But I hate the feeling of anxiety. The worst part is I work better under pressure and when I am sky high on anxiety.

15. Laugh more often.

I am a really good person to laugh. I love laughing but I don't believe you can laugh too much so I am going to laugh more.

Those are my 15 top goals for this year.

With that all being said I want to leave you with my favorite Tamora quote.

Always wear a smile you never know who is looking. They might just need that for the day.
