Bump Liz:Mine is to start dinner a little earlier. By the time my kids finishing eating, take baths, get put to bed and actually fall asleep, the last thing I want to come back downstairs to is a disaster zone kitchen. I'm going to make sure I give enough time to do the dishes before my team heads upstairs!
That was my problem too. It would be 9:30 or later and I'd be standing in the kitchen doing dishes when all I wanted to do was read. By the time I finished cleaning the kitchen I was too tired to do anything but sleep, so no me time.
This past year has been a very trying year for us and I let it get me down in many ways. My resolution for next year is to wake up each day counting my blessings and have a positive outlook for anything that may come. We need a much bigger house. That is our 2013 goal and I need to remain optimistic that we will get that perfect house for us in time.
