Resolutions or Not?

Are you a person who makes (and breaks) New Year Resolutions? Or, are you, like lots of people, one that thinks they are silly and a waste of time?

I think either is fine. I have years where I make resolutions and other years where I don't. I don't always see the need for them. I'm never one to bash others on what they do or don't do on New Year. I think they are fun.

THIS year....is a year of resolutions. It was time :)  I think many people would understand my reasoning. As a wife, mom, employee, etc. I put myself last on the list. I always have. I'm no martyr, it's just how God made me. My family gets the best of me (and that's what I believe is right). So, I decided a few months ago that I still need to make sure I am taking care of myself. I didn't wait until January to begin, I started a while ago. And, so far, it's been kind of nice :)

Now, I need to be honest....I am not one that washes my face nightly like I should. I also have been HORRIBLE about taking vitamins like I know I need. These things have just not been a priority.

Now that you know that, I have good news! Nightly, my face is clean and each day I have taken my vitamins (well, most days!) and boy can I feel a difference!! In both! My face is clearer and I feel so much better from the vitamins! I may never go back to being super lazy with myself. Lol! This has been really nice.

So, simple resolutions made and I plan on keeping them. After all....my kids need their mom to be healthy and available to them. Baby steps....

On another note.

I find it impossible to believe it's 2015. Didn't 2014 just start? Where did the year go?

Looking ahead to this year...at first I was thinking there wasn't much that was going to be happening. I was SO very wrong! After a couple minutes, I realized that we will be MOVING in a few months. This is exciting yet at the same time a bit overwhelming! Also, we have begun the preparations for planning a big vacation for August. Mind you.....we haven't been able to take any big vacations with the kids, but have really wanted to. So, this year is the year! YAY!!! We are planning on a road trip from Washington to the Grand Canyon. Yes, in August....HOT! But that's the time my husband gets off work, so that's when we go! Anyone have any advice??? We have rented an RV which will make the driving SO much more enjoyable for everyone but we aren't sure what the the MUST SEEs on the way or way back. I would love some advice. There are 6 of us so it's not a super small RV, but not the HUGE ones.... :)
After the trip we will be getting ready for school. In September, we will have 3 high school boys. I about start crying every time I think of this. I don't know how we will manage...but we will make it! Ha! So far, high school has been so fun...so much adventure and so much learning! It's been fun to watch the boys getting older and growing up into such amazing young men.

I will probably need to come back and read this in about 10 months when we are in the throws of next school year!

Anyway...now I'm rambling...so I will say good night! It's back to work tomorrow after 10 days off.

Have a great Monday tomorrow!
