New Year's Resolutions

So, it's a New Year. It's funny how the only way the year is really new is that it's another year. I mean, after we get back into the vacation schedule, nothing really changes. But in the spirit of a new year, here are some resolutions:
1-Blog here at least twice a week. I mean really. I "started" this blog a long time ago to capture Mo's toddler-hood and here he is a Kindergarten-er. That's practically ancient. And it rarely gets used. But now Sidney is quickly leaving toddler-hood. So let's do some work (by let's I mean myself of course) writing more (see resolution below) but also capturing my kids' moments. Cause they slip by fast, as we all know.
2-Find some personal career peace. Ok, so to be totally honest, turning 31 next week means I have no more direction than I did a year ago. Teaching preschool now, liking it but still slightly unsatisfied. Writing curriculum online, challenging and fun but not necessarily totally stable or really a career, more of a side gig (despite the occasional weeks when we go full time against deadlines). The Mom thing, yes I am doing it but for me, that's not a career. I need something more. So spend some time thinking, lots of time praying and come up with some goals.
3-Spend time with the kids and value them for who they are and where they are. Ok, Sid is probably the hardest one. And I am not saying everytime I think, is it bedtime yet, I will beat myself up, but maybe once or twice a week, value them as individuals and who they are. E is probably the easiest for this. Sid def the hardest. Prob many blog posts come out of this.
4-Write. These are all seeming to be connected. Spend 45 minutes every day writing. Whether it is a blog post, journaling (start daily devotional journal again-man, this post is becoming a list of things I have started and abandoned), work on my book (NaNoWriMo failed me again-I mean November is kind of a busy time of year...), just write!
5-Ed and Rhi time at least once every two weeks. See some of these goals are pretty concrete. I think we are doing pretty well on this but we need to keep it up. I don't really count the end of the day time. I think parenting is difficult and our lives are often running parallel and at the end of day, sometimes we just want to be alone or veg or have to do laundry, etc.
Ok, so to recap:
1-Blog 2x/week.
2-Begin deciphering personal career mystery.
3-Value children as individuals not as unruly mob.
4-More writing!
5-Ed and Rhi together time.
Not too shabby :)
