So here it goes ... My list of "improvements and goals for 2015"
1. Enroll in school
* I have made the decision to go back to school to persue my RN ... I am nervous but excited to be a student again and work toward a real career in medicine . I know I have what it takes .. Just hope I can find the time and stay balanced with work , school and the kids :)
2. Drink more water
* I'm not going to say "lose weight " because that is too broad of a statement . I am just going to strive to be more healthy and I know one small thing I could start with is drinking more water .
3. Cooking Dinner
* I am guilty of picking up Little Caesars pizza on the way home from work or doing spaghetti or something else quick and easy when the boys are with me ... But I am going to make a goal to cook a REAL dinner at least 3 times a week .
4. Be better to ME
* I would like to think I am a good friend , person and mother , but sometimes I put my feelings, emotions and well being last on the list. I am going to strive to take at least 30 min. of "Me time " a day... Whether o spend it in the tub relaxing , or exercising , or just watching my favorite show ... I am going to take a few minutes for myself to hopefully keep my sanity. Also I'm going to try and eliminate my negative "self talk " :)
5. QUALITY TIME with each kid
* I am only one person which makes it very hard to give 3 kids each undivided attention when they are home ... I do try but I'm going to make a goal to do at least one "one on one " activity with each boy every month and at least 20 min of "their time " every day ... It will probably come down to a bedtime routine but I really want to work on that.
So those are my 5 top goals and resolutions for 2015. It's going to be a great year full of new challenges and hopefully new rewards .... I am excited and ready for the journey!
