New Year Goals

I've finally adjusted to having 4 children and decided I wanted to start writing on this again. If anyone is actually reading this I am probably just going to post my menu planning and weekly goals. Not too exciting. I thought it would be good to post my New Year Goals, but looking back I noticed that I did the same thing 2 years ago and my goals really haven't changed. 2012 goals: 1. Don't buy things for my kids 2. Get rid of things 3. Work on baby books 4. Read more 5. Make Henry's Christmas stocking I did finish Henry's stocking so I can cross that off. 2014 goals: 1. Give my kids more experiences. I picked this because today Tyler was sitting on the couch playing video games like he always does and I asked him if he wanted to go to the indoor rock climbing place. He said no, and I realized he needs to do more than stay at home and play video games. I know everyone else already knew this, it takes me a while to see things. 2. get/keep by bed room clean. Every year I try to keep my kitchen clean and it never happens so it's time I got frustrated with a different room in my house. My bedroom is also a dumping ground for everything I want to hide when people come over and nothing ever gets put back. 3. FINISH baby books. This is the year! 4. Read 5. Be able to do 50 push-ups. My arms have always been week and I think it would be awesome if I could do it. How will I achieve these? I don't know, but here's what I'm going to try. 1. Have a monthly family outing. There are a lot of things we can do; indoor rock climbing, ice skating, roller skating, zoo, planetarium, fishing, mini golf, Disneyland,... 2. I'm going to put away 10 things and get rid of 10 things every day until my room is clean, and then keep doing that. 3. I have 33 pages that need to be done. I've tried doing a page a week before but that always dies out, so I'm thinking I should just do it till it's done. I don't know how to do that. How about I pick 6 pages every month, gather the things I need during the beginning of the month and then do a craft night to put them together. I'll see how the first month goes. I'm open to suggestions. 4. I'm already in the habit of reading I just need to keep it up, and always have a book I'm reading. 5. I'm going to do push-ups almost every night and hope they get easier and I am able to do more. Wish me luck!
