No, but, seriously, I would like to display my New Years resolution for all my friends and family to see. Maybe this will make me a little less likely to completely forget it by February. I seriously have no idea what my resolution was for last year. So this year I decided that I want to be more goal oriented and in turn, teach my children to be more goal oriented as well...and this will require me to be more organized. Here's how I plan to tackle my resolution:
I printed off a little goal sheet to glue over the monthly picture page of my 2009 calendar. I put a picture of each member of the family across the top of the page. I then put three goal categories along the side of the page. The categories are, first, Overall Goal, for example mine for this month is to not lose my temper even once the entire month. (I'm thinking if I take this one day at a time I might be able to accomplish this!) The second goal is, Chore of the Month. This category is really for the kids. I will have the kids pick one chore that they would like to learn how to do. They will work the entire month at becoming as independent as possible at that chore. Some may even take two months. Isaac's chore this month is putting the groceries away into the refrigerator/freezer and Georgie's is unloading the silverware from the dishwasher. The third category is to to pick one or two projects that we would like to complete this month. For example, I would like to complete our 2008 family photo album and make Georgie some new hairbows this month. The kids will each pick a couple of crafts that they would like to do that month.
So thats the layout. Hold me to this guys! Ask me if I'm still doing my monthly calendar goals sometime! I'll let you know how its going. Thanks to all of you for your friendship, comments and your great blogs!
Love,
Ashley
