I hope everyone had an awesome New Years celebration. We sort of did, Daisy and Jasleen went to bed for the night at 9pm so Javi and I pretty much did our own thing till five minutes till midnight 2013! Javi and I drank sparkling grape juice and watched the ball drop on TV then went over things we would like to accomplish and change this new year of 2013. There are 25 things that I would like to have and do for 2013 as a family New Year resolution and it goes as follows:
...............................................................................................................................
1. To not sweat the small stuff: mainly this means for each family member to not take things that each member says or does so personal. To forgive humbly and move on...
2. Family Meal times: This is simply to make it a goal to get the whole family around the dinner table...I feel Family mealtime is very important, routine is really important for kids I feel eating together for three meals a week or more will have more connectedness with one another....
3. To Spend more time Outdoors: I feel that it's important to have at lease a couple park days and just evening walks to feel free will improve our moods.
4. Be more Organized: we as a family have been lacking real bad in the area, I feel we need to make it a routine and habit to consciously be organized with everything we do.
5. Bake more: This is something I miss doing with my daughter, now that I have two more daughters I feel there is a need to bake more goodies to inspire them...
6. Individual Alone time: I feel this is something Javi and I lack as parents. I adore being around him as much as he adores being around me, but I feel we need to set aside at least every other weekend just for ourselves. I feel this will give one another to breath...Self-care is a necessity, and giving ourselves a "ME" time will allow us to be more patient and happy parents and spouses.
7. Story Time: Sadly I have to say I have not read any books to my daughters, and this is something I will make sure I change!
8. A Strong Sleep Routine: Even though already the girls have their set bedtime, occasionally we tend to slack and break the cycle...This is something Javi and I need to work on, which is to make sure we strictly keep a bedtime routine.
9. Date Nights: Javi and I really lack in this area, we will be setting more date nights so we can reconnect and be happy parents..maybe twice a month would do...
and lastly.....
10. Family Portraits: Javi and I have not taken a single family portrait of our family...this will change this year!
Now.... The top 10 New Years Resolutions I set aside for just ME...
1. Makeover my attitude: there are times I can be difficult to be around and this I will be working to change...
2. Respecting ME: What I mean by this is cutting people out of my life that both do not participate in my life, and that are just not good people in general.
3. Prioritize: I need to put things in my household priority such as keeping up with the bills, also my goal is to continue to be successful in school and to remain on the Deans List!
4. Get Fit: I had my two little ones, I am done for now with procreating LOL...After college my goal is to be a forensic scientist for the FBI, a long time dream of mine that I am working on...Therefore, I want to be fit and thin like I used to be before Daisy and Jasleen to start fresh at my future job!AND I will make it happen!
5. Maintaining Physic: My goal is to be more active with my appearance, I will be maintaining the blonde hair and hygiene.
6. Hobby: I want to take on new hobbies that relaxes me and something I enjoy doing that won't get old fast..Such as painting or poetry.
7. Bilingual: I would like to learn the language that was once my first which is Spanish, When I was Alicia's age I was 100% fluent in speaking Spanish...and I am determined to be that way again.
8. Math: I would like to become good at Math, I nearly almost failed my college Algebra class and being that I want to be a forensic scientist I would like to strengthening this academic weakness.
9. Positive: I am determined to be more positive on things that happen to effect me negatively.
10. Most of all I am going to do Less talk - more action, don't talk about it - DO IT!
Happy New Year!!!
