New Years...

Well, I only have half an hour before the end of New Year's Day comes to an end and decided I need to start this back up. I just got way too occupied with work and with the newest addition to our family. I do not know how the single mothers do it, and I have the ut most respect for them right now.

KC will be 8 months old this month, and only 4 more months till his birthday. It has gone by so much and he has grown up so fast. In just 8 months, he went from 7lbs 14 oz and 21 inches long to 20lbs and 28 inches long. He's a biggin' and he's our little chunky monkey.

This year also brings alot of "another year" going by. This month markes my 8th year anniversary at the big Blue. This year will mark our 5 years being together as well as our wedding anniversary. This year will also be 2 years since I've lost the greatest woman in my life as well as my last year being in the 20's (course that is not for another 12 months till I celebrate that). Just so much for 2011 that I need to plan goals and not resolutions. I know everyone makes resolutions and I really never had as I never keep them. I do plan to make goals and hopefully I can keep up with them.

Course, my #1 goal as well as many is to try to get our finances under control. I know we will really never pay off debt as long as KC is under the age of 18 and till he starts learning the value of a dollar as well as we do plan to have maybe one or two more children but we need to be more disipline where our money goes and be more smarter with it. We should be able to pay off unnecessary debt so we can actually look into buying a bigger house where we plan to live at for years to come till the little ones are out of school (or so to hope).

Secondly, I need to work on my time management skills. I need to be cracking down on my school as I hope to be able to obtain my Bachelor's by the end of the year (crossing my fingers). I do not know how single mothers do it, but if they can do it I should be able to do it myself as well. I should be able to juggle raising a kid, working full time, and school work as well as being a wife to my husband.

That brings me to my third goal. Being able to communicate with my husband as a wife and well, take care of my house. I know as a mother, my house will never stay cleaned but I need to stop procrastinating on many things that I push aside for weeks and when I do get them done, I get mad at myself cause it was such an easy task to complete in just a few minutes that it should have been done. I feel that if I can pick up the house a little a day and not like leave dishes out, hubby will follow. I also need to be able to communicate with him instead of bottling up everything inside like I have done since I was young. My grandmother is not here anymore, but my husband is here and will always be here and I do love him for that. We have a child together, we should be able to communicate on all levels.

Finally, being able to cook for myself as wel as my family. With this, maybe I can find some very taste, healthy meals. This is what always held me back on being able to lose weight because I can excerise easily but eating right is always what I could not do. Now, cutting out Dr. Pepper I feel is a sin, but I can probably find ways to cut back to how much I have rather than cutting it out completly.

Again, these are goals and hopefully I can accomplish them as I continue to become a strong woman for my family. I know I have a great support system with friends and family that I should be able to accomplish them with no set backs. I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and I hope to see ya'll as we continue on with 2011.
