I use to make at least 1 resolution every Dec 31. Now, I don't bother. I've decided verbalizing, even internally, any type of resolution just makes me feel worse when I end up breaking it. That being said, I do have a goal starting this year - that is to spend more time being silly with my 2 1/2 yr old son and less time worrying about how clean my house is. I'm really anal about my home. I want things to at least be neat so we're not tripping over shoes, toys, etc. We have a room off our kitchen that is basically the playroom. The problem is that a lot of the toys end up in the living room cluttering the floor. I tried to deal with it and I just can't. I could handle it for about a week and then I have a melt down. My mom made a suggestion, so simple, yet it never occured to me. We now let our son play with 1 thing at a time in the living room. That 1 thing may not be just 1 toy, but may be a bunch of his matchbox cars. However, at least I know when he switches to the next toy, all the cars go back to the play room and I get to keep my nice, neat living room.
