  1. Mercy! Mine will not be so thought provoking. Basically, lose the fat, try to be nice to people, and try not to let a mold ring build in my toilet. If I just go ahead and break these, I won’t have to stress all year. My last resolution. Happy New Year!

  2. I resolve to:
    *quit telling my chirrens that I don’t have time in my busy schedule today to take them to the ER when it looks they are going to get hurt (after I repeatedly have told them to stop)….
    *TRY to quit telling my chirrens in public to quit acting like donkeys (substitution for the word jacka$$e$, although they don’t know that), or to quit donkeying around in the mornings…..(try it-it works!)
    *quit answering myself when I am having a conversation with my sweet chrubs but no one is A)paying attention or B)cares not to respond (i.e. c’mon kids get out of the car (silence) OKay mom we hear you. We love you. You’re the best) (One man laughed his head off one day in the WM parking lot at me doing that)
    *try to be a little more patient and kind
