It's 2012 and I've made a few resolutions for the new year. I think the idea of resolutions are generally a curse and a list of habits you'd like to change but never do but I'm really going to give 2012 the benefit of the doubt seeing as it's January 4th and I'm still feeling pretty positive.
1. Drink less Diet Coke/Pepsi. It's my sin of choice. There's something about a diet soda that just makes some foods taste better. But DD has caught on to the quantity I drink which, on a bad day is only one 20 oz. bottle but when the kids are drinking milk and I won't let her drink a soda unless under extreme duress....well...let's just say less soda is on the list for 2012. "Do as I say, not as I do" doesn't work with my kids.
2. Get back to blogging. I am at a "I hate my job" point in my life again and I haven't been there in a long time. So I'm job hunting. I'm not quite sure what I'm good at. I know what I like but people don't hire you because you "like" something. Just ask George Costanza. But I love to blog, I just don't make the time for it. So, resolution #2 is to spend a little time over here and away from Facebook.
3. And speaking of the wretch that is Facebook...I have created a new account for myself. When co-workers ask to be your "friend" how can you tell them no? And when your boss's, boss's wife asks to be your friend how do you tell her no? And then Facebook, in its infinite wisdom, changes templates and preferences and grouping and security options the way most people do/should change underwear. I can't keep up so I am now the proud owner of two Facebook accounts - one for co-workers and work-related "friends" who can't see pictures of me in a swimming pool or hear friends from college reference my finer moments. And, I have another account for the people who can consider themselves blessed with that mess and see me with my hair down, my bathing suit on and learn about my less than fabulous moments in history.
Welcome to 2012. I'd love to hear your resolutions!

My resolution, which I started actually in 2011, is to putt money where my mouth is. I talk about how I want a better education for my kids, but never did anything. Well, you can't complain if you've never taken action. So I've taken action & launched myself into the advocacy world, full of school board meetings, strategic planning, social media marketing, & emailing our government officials. My short term goal- restore full day kindergarten back to my district (anyone have $400,000 they can spare?). Long term goal is advocating for early education, & revising the school funding formula in NJ. I'm scared to think what I'll do in 2013. Lol. (Amy R).
Great resolutions! I hope they all work out for you, and I hope no one finds your other fb page. lol
My resolution this year is to actively advocate. Too many times, I've sat on the sidelines and complained, but have not had the guts to do anything. I'm starting to get vocal now, and not just to my dh!
My short term resolution (sort of a goal) is to restore full-day kindergarten back to our school district.
Long term goal: Continually advocate for:
1) Mandatory (funded) K in all states
2) Funding for full-day K at a higher rate
3) FAIR school funding reform in NJ
4) and just for kicks - mandatory Full-day Kindergarten in the US.
My personal resolution - well, who has time?? lol But I like your #1 - do as I do, and not as I say mantra for my kids.
