The 2009 Mary

The 2008 Mary was a very lazy model. “To Do” lists were written often but rarely done.  And there was little motivation to do much outside of sitting on the couch.  2008 Mary needed an attitude adjustment and finally has one. 

Introducing 2009 Mary. I am now the improved model. Now I know what you are thinking…sure, a bunch of new year’s resolutions to give up on within a month’s time.  But I am committed to this 2009 model.  This year I will get my to do list written and completed. I will make sure my kids eat healthier.  I will make sure to connect with my husband every day- even when life and work and kids and house and etc, get in the way.  The 2009 Mary is not out to be Super Mom, wife, or Family Counselor, etc. But gone are the days where my mind is cluttered with all the things I SHOULD get done- whether it be baking cookies with the 4 year old or planning her 5th birthday party. Or thinking about all the junk in the pantry instead of throwing it out. Or the many “Thank you’s” I didn’t send…but will. This year, things will get done.

So here it is, in black and white. For readers to read. Not that anyone is actually holding me accountable to these promises other than myself- and 2 loud kids. But I feel better knowing that since I have written my goals, it is almost like a signed contract.

So wish me luck.
