I seem to go from nice to crazy in 60 seconds.. To clarify I do cuss around my children, I figure they are going to hear from the punks at school, so better they hear it from me. It seems when I'm having a bad day it's way worse, but even on a good day I can spit fire in just a few seconds. So to keep my kids from putting me in a nursing home when I get old, I'm going to make this one work!<br />Another resolution is to be a better person. I know this sounds kinda cocky, but I am already a pretty nice person (not self proclaimed, I have been told so by complete strangers) but I could always be better.. Couldn't all of us? Well except the OAM, but who wants to be like them?<br />And last but not least I'm going to start my own blog! I have wanted to do this for years and just when I think I'm ready, I chicken out. I have been a follower of a friend since she started hers, and then found yours. I think it's time for the world to enjoy the humor that is my life. Good luck on your resolutions, and Happy New Year (8 days later) <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079909148791954860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-3718577140931392832013-01-08T03:55:16.784-06:002013-01-08T03:55:16.784-06:00Additionally, I do NOT curse to / at / around my k...Additionally, I do NOT curse to / at / around my kids...to be clear. :)TNMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811407816593020440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-25965296532429410502013-01-08T03:54:17.370-06:002013-01-08T03:54:17.370-06:00Mine is to have a middle level. I go from "ho...Mine is to have a middle level. I go from "honey, get your shoes on please..." to "PUT ON THE FUCKING SHOES!!" in roughly 6 seconds. So I have promised my 6 year old to have a middle level if she could promise to make an attempt to listen a little better. So far, so good! <br />As for the I love you thing...to whom? I say it to my hubby and kids every day...like the cashier at the grocery store? Crossing guard at school? Boss? I would like to say I love you more, I just don't wanna be all creepy! LOL, so I will steal that one too - two is plenty for me. Plus I have this weight thing, but that's every day for the rest of my life...no need to label it something new for the new year. So there, YAY! I have some, thanks - I love you! :)<br />(Oh and this whole thing is just fucking hilarious, including the comments!)<br />DevanTNMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811407816593020440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-61787361523531054252013-01-06T18:03:41.881-06:002013-01-06T18:03:41.881-06:00You could also resolve to be nicer.

I will write letters. Honest to goodness letters. On paper. I will comment on every blog post I like. I will use my pedometer to track my steps, with the goal of 10,000 steps per day. I will take more pictures. I will get off my kids' asses to hang up their coats until I actually install coat hooks they can reach. Or, "hookers" as my 3 year old calls them.<br /><br />I will not do any of these things.<br /><br />-AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568034681803349166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-14949394429867031592013-01-05T11:57:24.657-06:002013-01-05T11:57:24.657-06:00Hmmm...I think that folding and putting the laundr...Hmmm...I think that folding and putting the laundry away DOES count as cleaning...because the clothes are now clean AND the room is a bit tidier.

It is ONLY for scarves. A few years ago, I had difficulty getting that far (coincided with the birth of my son), so it moved to the front hall! It is my "scarf tree" and whenever a visitor comments that I have too many scarves, I give that person a blank look and comment, "I have no idea what you mean." I'm really good at the dead-pan tone now too, and have removed the expletive from that comment (took some practice, I admit). <br /><br />As for the rest...well, I've embrace that I am a "piler" and I'm working on strategies for that!

I've decided this year my only real resolution is to say "YES" to my family more. The normal stuff that everyone is doing - getting healthy in one way or another, organizing, blah, blah, blah is always an ongoing personal improvement thing for me anyway and I will be looking at what needs attention on a month by month basis. This way, I'm not failing for a whole year, just a month if I don't get to my running goal or cleaning my garage. Hey, I'm a mom & things happen.JT1222https://www.blogger.com/profile/13878724685958866395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-72240794969745163532013-01-02T21:01:01.717-06:002013-01-02T21:01:01.717-06:00I snorted when I read "Hang up my coat and/or...I snorted when I read "Hang up my coat and/or drink more water" - now there's a resolution I can keep.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202100488191243488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-68486245683680533322013-01-02T20:00:44.015-06:002013-01-02T20:00:44.015-06:00I don't normally make resolutions because I ne...I don't normally make resolutions because I never keep them, especially if they involve exercising more or losing weight. In 2012 I made an unofficial resolution to find a new job. I said unofficial because I had already been searching for a new job for over a year and I was really discouraged at that point. But I amped up my job search, to the point that I felt like it was my second job, and I finally found a job in May. I had to take a cut in pay and my travel time doubled, but after working for the devil (aka a collection agency) for 16 years, it was worth the risk. I'm happy to say that it was the best decision I could have made. I love my new job, I have opportunities to earn bonuses which helps with the pay cut and I can also earn time off which was something I never got at my last job. Oh, and as an added bonus, I lost 30 pounds after i started the new job. I'm thinking that since my unofficial resolution worked out so well last year that I'll make some official ones this year. I'm gonna steal a couple of yours like cleaning for 10 mins a day and drink more water but also add doing a load of laundry daily. Does doing laundry count as cleaning if I actually fold it AND put it away instead of leaving it in the corner of the couch?

But today I will make three I know for sure I'll keep! One is to continue to tell the kids how much I love them, two is to continue my Catholic faith, and three is to comment on your posts just like Teri haha. I'll fallow you on twitter as well! and hehe I'll be sure to request your book for my birthday :D as I've been wanting it soon as I discovered you! lol. Anywho, thank you soo much for all your inspiration and for letting me know there are truly other mothers out there that are seeing the world as I am. Can't tell you how sick I've been seeing all these "perfect" mothers of two :/. But yea so glad to have met you :)) and glad to meet all your fallowers!!

I read and love all of your blog posts but that's my reasoning for not commenting. However, knowing that you DO read all comments, I resolve to comment on each post. That is a resolution that won't be too hard to keep. That and drinking more water. That should be easy. :)SnarkfestBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654521423192515080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-35729727695218943442013-01-02T09:36:15.842-06:002013-01-02T09:36:15.842-06:00I just followed you on twitter.

I don't even like birds, so I'm not about to start tweeting. And then there's the signs, and the codes. I feel like life is hard enough. I love to type - words. Not @hashtag (WTF is a hashtag??? Sounds like something I wouldn't want growing on my body.) So Twitter can suck it. If you don't have more than 12 seconds to spare to hear what I have to say, you are a Twat and should tweet. <br /><br />Other than that, I'm down with the water drinking, and hanging my coat up (because that's a peeve of mine. My family hangs their coats from our dining room furniture and the bannister, which are 2 feet from the well hanger-stocked coat closet). I'd like to move more.
