I Resolve...

I never really do New Years resolutions.  I just hate setting the bar and then feeling guilty for when that bar comes crashing down.  So this year, I'm not going to make any resolutions (besides, it's a week after the new year, I'm already failing).  I think I'm just going to write down some ideas that maybe I'll try to work on throughout the year.

1. Try to talk less and listen more.  I tend to talk a lot, especially when I feel like there is too much silence and don't want to feel awkward.  I also say things all the time that later I think back on and wonder why in the world I said that.

2. Do more fun, creative things with Haylie. So far, she has enjoyed just playing with her toys by herself, but she's at the point where I think she would love to go to the playground more or be just be outside or doing more big kid things. 

3. Communicate better. I've been working on this, especially with the hubby, and it seems like we get a long so much better.  Less frustration when he doesn't "read my mind."

That's all I'm going to list so far.  I don't want to get ahead of myself and I'm definitely not going to say "Lose weight" because that's too cliche and I love chocolate too much.

I like your ideas. I didn't make any resolutions for the same reason but I have a list beside my bed of things we're working on. Maybe I should get off the computer and work on one of those! haha

It's a little cold for playgrounds right now! Good luck on the others though!!!
