What's your New Year's resolution? I think for the daycare, my goal is to keep up on paperwork and be more prepared. Personally, I need to be more organized and find a better balance between work and home. (especially since its in the same space.)

Well I usually don't make any but this year something just came over me so I posted the following on my Facebook page. I'll copy it here.
When will we be good enough?
I don’t know about you but I’m getting pretty tired of little self improvement ‘quotes’ on Facebook or articles on how to live my life. In other words, how can I improve myself?
How to stay healthy, how to get thinner, what makeup will make me look better, how to be a good friend, how to keep that spark in my marriage, how to manage my finances, how to improve as a parent, how to decorate to make my house look better and, oh yeah, let’s not forget how “to find some time for ourselves.”
Well how the heck can we find time for ourselves when we have to devote all our time to this self improvement garbage?
I’m fine the way I am. I think the little ‘tips’ are like hearing “You know dear, you could do better.” I miss Mr. Rogers. He used to tell me that he liked me just the way I was. Here’s to you Mr. Rogers!
I don’t usually make resolutions but I am going to this year. It will be to pamper myself a little every day. I am going to try to listen to myself rather than others. That’s it. This doesn’t have to be a well polished article. It is fine the way it is.
Happy New Year!Comment

I don't really make them. I kind of feel like if I decide I need to change something about me I should just do it. It shouldn't have anything to do with a new year. I am working on getting more organized with all the daycare things in my house, but I have been working on that for a month or so already, and probably will still be working on it when 2017 hits

My goal is simply to eat healthy every day. I want my choices to revolve around fruits/veggies/chicken/fish and oatmeal. Cut out diet coke(Lord give me strength). Eventually with every day I do it, my resolve will strengthen and I'll be more willing to eat basic healthy foods. At the moment I just do not feel great and at 62 I don't have tons of time to become healthy. ODAAT right?Comment

Laurel, I tend to agree with everything you said. Media has been telling us forever what we should change about ourselves, our homes and lives, everything. What a waste of energy and self-esteem trying to fit everybody else's mold.Comment

I enjoy making New Years Resolutions. I spend time contemplating every year about what things I want to leave behind in the old year and what I want to bring with me in the new year.
This year I want to cut out diet soda. I have no more in the house, so...tomorrow will be interesting for the kiddos
::
I also want to "prepare" a little more. We are going to buy a generator, a month's worth of food for all of us, and water. I don't know if we will ever use it, but better safe than sorry.
And I'm going to keep my counter clean. Usually it's cluttered. Hubby and I spent the last 2 days cleaning and organizing happyfaceComment

I kind of agree, Laurel. I always kind of ask myself if the resolution or goal is for ME or because of someone else. I like setting goals for ME. lovethis
Like another poster I need to be better at DC paperwork. I'm looking at spending this week going back and getting everything together and I already know it's a hot mess.
I'd like to spend LESS time online (already started this over my vacation) and more time IRL.
I'd like to do more with my dck's and have a better plan for the day. I'd gotten away from lesson planning the last few years when I'd been bringing them to and from "real" preschool every day and I'm not as satisfied with how the days go.
I would like to do more races this year, including a half marathon. I find having an event to train for makes me stick to a work out plan better.
I want to be kinder to myself and others. I want to surround myself with people who make me feel good and not drag me down.
So kind of a lot, but all for meeeee ::

Seems like our power outages have increased for us in 2015. So we just got a generator off CL for $200 since they were sold out at the stores. We lost our power on Christmas eve, it was out for 40 hours.I enjoy making New Years Resolutions. I spend time contemplating every year about what things I want to leave behind in the old year and what I want to bring with me in the new year.

For those who want to improve their health I just found a site that seems pretty cool. I've only belonged to for a couple of days though. It is called nerdfitness.com The nerd refers to those who like to play video games I think. I don't but they have monthly challenges like the quests in video games.
What I like is that you make up your own goals and they suggest some for those who need help. Theirs are too easy but are only suggestions. The point is to reach your goal by the end of the month. I like that because you only have to commit to one month. Experts say that most people only keep their New Year's resolution for one month anyway.
It sounds appealing to me because after a month I can have some variety and pick another goal. The goals are in the area of Health/Eating; Fitness; and Lifestyle. The lifestyle is some goal not related to health and fitness. If anyone joins I go under the name of Karianne85. I submitted my challenge thread.Comment

buy a preschool or start one outside of my home. It's going to be a long process, but i want to start it.
Along with doing a better job of record keeping on my spending with the DC. I hate that part of this business.Comment
