New Years Resolutions

It's a new year, time for resolutions to do better. I figured I would make a list and see how I do. I'll be updating every three months to see how I'm doing or not doing.

Blogging Although I blogged more in 2009 than I did in 2008, I would still like to blog more. I thought about attempting to blog every day for a year, but I know me better than that. NaBloPoMo was hard enough. Instead, I will try my best to blog every week day, allowing myself the weekends off, with the exception of November when I will attempt NaBloPoMo again.

Working I started off early last year doing pretty well, better than any other year selling online. But, then the girls moved in and all hell broke loose. I don't think I brought in 1/4th the amount from July to December that I did from Jan to July. I vowed to tackle my inventory this year. I told myself I would try to get 250 new things listed every month until it's all listed. I was supposed to start Wednesday but haven't done much. I will though. I have to.

Reading I am not much of a reader. I never really have been, but I would like to read a little more. I've decided to try to read two books a month. I know I spend plenty of time on a car waiting for people to get out of school, so I may as well soak up some literature.

Spouse I would like to be a better spouse. I may not get the recognition I feel like I deserve in this family, but I would like to try to not be so hard on NYEBoy. When I'm bitching sometimes I'll sick back and ask myself "if he died tomorrow, will this argument have been worth it?" It won't be easy and I probably won't succeed, but I'm going to try. One step at a time.

K's School I'm going to try to find an easier way to address school issues with K, but I'm going to give my best effort to not let her get behind this semester. I want her to make A's and B's in these remedial classes because I know it's only going to get harder, but I'm determined to help her become smarter.

Commenting I'm the worlds worst commenter. I'm going to really try to do my best and comment back on everyone's comments this year. I read every comment, but with the exception of Twitter, I'm not a very good blogger at communicating with her readers. I'm already 7 days behind.

There are a few other things I would like to attend to this year, but I don't want to put too much on my plate and allow myself to give up so easily.

Do you have any resolutions?

I don't have any real specific resolutions but I wanted to extend the invitation to join my 2010 book challenge. The sign up post is going up in a few days and you set your own goal.

I try to avoid resolutions. I am usually depressed enough at the end of the year. I don't want a list of things I did not accomplish to upset me more. I used to try but it never worked. Good Luck to you!
