It is only 6 days into the new year... 2013. I don't really believe in making New Year's Resolutions... maybe I just don't believe in making them. I always think of things I could work on, though I usually refrain from saying them out loud.
This year I decided to try and better my life before my next birthday. I listed several things, right here on my blog, that I would like to do better. I know I'm only 3 months in, but not much has changed since then. New Year's Day was coming up and I thought, "I am totally going to get back into exercise, logging my food and exercise into the My Fitness Pal app, get back on my Bible reading plan, keep my messes under control, and, a big one for me, work on my organization." Yep, failed at all of the above so far. I did clean up the Christmas wrapping paper mess in my crafting room tonight. I can at least give myself credit for that one!
Right now I sit, typing at my desk that is covered in paper + lots of other things. It is after midnight... pushing 1 am. I finished my kids' Christmas gifts for their school teachers. I was going to make them the Wednesday night before Christmas, but we ended up with two snow days and began our break early. I had all break, but I chose to hold off until the night before break is over. I also procrastinated on creating a flyer for a PTA event and printing the PTA cards that are long overdue to new members. I have good excuses for putting that off (ran out of cards and had to wait for the new ones to come in and computer trouble), but still, I had all of the break!
I am headed right back to what I am good at. Going all day until all I want to do is sit when I get the kids to bed. Procrastinating every chance I get. Forgetting to do those things that 3 months ago seemed important enough to blog about and just last week struck me as New Year's Resolutions I should try to keep.
Why is it so hard to change? Maybe I'll figure it out later...
