Your new years resolution here:
After seeing a total stranger smile at me in the grocery store today (I think that she was with her BF and in a very good mood), I am going to add:
~be more patient ~keep the house up better ~start some kind of schooling ~fit into my wedding dress by the end of the year ~MORE SEX:) ~have the babies potty trained ~get on a better sleep schedule ~more alone time with hubby So many more but I'm stopping there...WISH ME LUCK and much luck to all of you! To help others out the best of my abilty.

[/QUOTE]That is the best list I've ever seen. I'm stealing it and adding:
Well I need to manage my temper a little better. I need to stop drinking as much as I do. I need to manage my $$ a little better since the past few mounths I have managed to spend more then I make so thats not good. I need to really clean up my place, lucky I live alone, but I need room... too much stuff. I would like to get a date sometime in 2009, but doubtful thatll happen... I need to go up north and do some fun vacation stuff more this spring, summer and fall. thats it I guess... well start their.My view on therapies make them part of the childs daily life at home also.
My "resolution" of 2. Make friends! (Everyone I know from college has moved away...I need new friends!) ... is EXACTLY your resolution (hence the "everyone I know", and not "all of my friends" from college...) I just thought about all that happend this last year and I am starting to feel very ambitous about next year. Last year was all about getting appropriate services for my ds. This year will be more about adding enjoyable things for everyone in the family. Life is too short. So here is my list (and yes it does sound like fun to me!): Get started on a MA and get a part time job Reevaluate my ds's after school therapies and drop at least one and replace it with something that he considers fun Make sure the nt sibs have something fun just for them (like art class or riding or cooking class) Figure out how to use my sewing machine properly and make a quilt for our bed Plant flowerbeds in the front yard Make my own sauerkraut
What are your new year resolutions? I don't make resolutions since, I DONT KEEP EM! lol..I have hopes for the next year, so let me think: I am elderly..let me think harder.. 1) Fight harder for DSP providers in KS to get more than walmart workers in pay 2) More training in what I do for a career 3) Get Taylor FULLY potty trained and Colin, at least PARTIALLY potty trained (starting now, actually) 4)Paint the rooms in this house that badly need it..which is MOST of them. 5) Go to visit my friends in UK, and then do the tour of Europe while there, as well as seeing the group homes that are over there, which belong to the same org. that I work for. 6) Be the best mom I can be, minus guilt of feeling like I never do enough. (that will be a toughy) I guess mine aren't really new years resolutions, but things I've been working on for a while...1. Be on time to most things. (I'm late to EVERYTHING) 2. Make friends! (Everyone I know from college has moved away...I need new friends!) 3. Get going on Weight Watchers again. (I stopped for 2 months and kept off the weight without trying, so I'm going to try losing more weight..somewhere in the neighborhood of 30ish pounds...) 4. Cut down on how much therapy I do during the school year. (It's a friggen addiction for me.) 5. Make a cookbook scrapbook, and a scrapbook of all of my therapy kids I've worked with. Good luck! Well I'm going to be 30 this year, and I think my resolution is going to be to try not to be scared of EVERYONE, lest I be alone forever. We'll have to see how well that goes though... people really can be pretty scary. 
Stickboy, how about combining our two resolutions: Smile at a total stranger and see what happens... Although I must admit that being alone after being with someone sucks pretty bad, and that is what can happen. Go back and read all of the posts that I have addressed specifically to either one, or Both, of you guys. One statement that I can make is true. You Guys Are My FRIENDS! I am privleged, and blessed to be a person that you two cyberconverse with. If we would ever meet in person, we would have a lot of uncomfortable minutes of silence. That will pass, cause we would have my son, D2L&A's sons, and My favorite Rock Star Bass Player, Teacher, in the same room. They will figure out a common ground. That is what we share, in addition to the respect and admiration that I have for the 2 of you. I found this place to help me and my wife figure out how to make our son feel as comfortable as he can be, with the way that the world spins for him. The stuff that we have shared enabled my to do just that! You may start this year with my eternal gratitude. I ain't much, but I sincerely feel, and mean every word. John Rompala Penn Hills, PA Well here it is .. Try not to diet...they dont work,I am tempted to shed the last TEN by starvation or some quick fix but it never stays off(I lost 30 over the last 2 years by small changes). Be kinder to people,make better eye contact(my dh says my eye contact is worse than ds's) ,and think before I speak. Get more involved in the local Autism resources center. Make more me time and more time for dh. Linda Finishing this KidSense yard before March 1! We started the braiinstorming process back in May of 2007 and am still at it. Here's a photo montage of the past 6 months...but it LOOKS like a motor-sensory playground finally! http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb231/geezermom_2007/Our% 20Timeline/?albumview=slideshow
2008 was the most difficult year of my life, becoming a single Mom plus trying to come to grips with ASD. In 2009 I'm not going to let the difficult circumstances in my life get me down so my New Year resolution is: "to recognize that there is much to be thankful for & to be joyful in all circumstances!!" |
